Capturing the First Hours You Never Want to Forget<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is nothing quite like those first hours after your baby arrives \u2014 the tiny yawns, the curled toes, the soft hospital blankets, and the quiet moments where everything feels brand new. A Fresh 48 session captures all of it while your baby is still fresh, wrinkly, and brand new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want something emotional, raw, and truly meaningful, this session is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Fresh 48 Session?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Fresh 48 is a newborn session that takes place within the first 24\u201348 hours<\/strong> after birth at your hospital or birthing center. Unlike a traditional newborn session, this one focuses on the real, tender moments<\/strong> right after delivery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Baby\u2019s first stretches
\u2022 Meeting siblings
\u2022 Dad holding baby for the first time
\u2022 Tiny details (hospital bracelets, little feet, swaddles)
\u2022 Breastfeeding or bottle-feeding moments
\u2022 Cuddles with mom in the hospital bed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No posing. No props. Just your baby\u2019s first story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Fresh 48 Sessions Happen<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finch & Mae Photography travels to:
\u2022 Madison WI hospitals<\/strong>
\u2022 Sun Prairie & surrounding area hospitals<\/strong>
\u2022 St. Mary\u2019s Hospital<\/strong>
\u2022 Meriter Hospital<\/strong>
\u2022 Columbus Community Hospital<\/strong>
\u2022 Fond du Lac & Beaver Dam hospitals<\/strong>
\u2022 Home births throughout Wisconsin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your hospital isn\u2019t listed, just ask \u2014 I\u2019m happy to travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Families Love Fresh 48 Sessions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2714 Emotional, documentary-style storytelling
\u2714 Captures the tiny details before they change
\u2714 Perfect for remembering the early hours you barely recall
\u2714 Siblings meeting for the first time
\u2714 Doesn\u2019t require your home or nursery to be photo-ready
\u2714 A beautiful complement to your newborn session<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect During Your Session<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I quietly enter the room, move slowly, and allow space for bonding. The session lasts around 30\u201345 minutes<\/strong> and is completely baby-led. I document things naturally without pressure or stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to Capture Your Baby\u2019s First Hours?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re expecting in Madison, Sun Prairie, or surrounding Wisconsin areas, I would love to document your Fresh 48 story.
