Make Your First Photos Simple, Stress-Free, and Beautiful

Your Fresh 48 session should feel calm, emotional, and effortless — not stressful or rushed. Packing a few intentional items will help your hospital photos feel clean, timeless, and cohesive.

Here’s your easy Finch & Mae–approved packing list.

What to Pack for Your Fresh 48 Photos

1. A Neutral Swaddle

Soft creams, whites, oat, or warm neutrals photograph best. Hospitals often provide colorful blankets, but neutral swaddles help keep the focus on your baby.

2. A Simple Onesie or Gown

Avoid patterns or bright colors. A plain white or cream onesie creates a soft, classic look that matches your newborn gallery.

3. A Knot Hat or Bonnet (Optional)

These add a sweet, timeless touch and are perfect for those tiny detail photos.

4. A Backup Swaddle or Blanket

Babies spit up — having a second option ensures you stay calm and prepared.

5. A Neutral Outfit for Mom

Choose:
• A soft robe
• A light sweater with leggings
• A neutral nursing tank
Stick with creams, taupe, beige, or soft tones that blend beautifully with baby.

6. Comfortable Clothes for Dad

Simple solids work best — white, gray, or tan.

7. Anything Meaningful

Some parents bring:
• A special handmade blanket
• Memorial items
• A letterboard with baby’s name
• A family heirloom

Only if it fits your style — minimal is always best for Finch & Mae.
