Make Your First Photos Simple, Stress-Free, and Beautiful<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your Fresh 48 session should feel calm, emotional, and effortless \u2014 not stressful or rushed. Packing a few intentional items will help your hospital photos feel clean, timeless, and cohesive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s your easy Finch & Mae\u2013approved packing list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What to Pack for Your Fresh 48 Photos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. A Neutral Swaddle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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

2. A Simple Onesie or Gown<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Avoid patterns or bright colors. A plain white or cream onesie creates a soft, classic look that matches your newborn gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. A Knot Hat or Bonnet (Optional)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These add a sweet, timeless touch and are perfect for those tiny detail photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. A Backup Swaddle or Blanket<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Babies spit up \u2014 having a second option ensures you stay calm and prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. A Neutral Outfit for Mom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose:
\u2022 A soft robe
\u2022 A light sweater with leggings
\u2022 A neutral nursing tank
Stick with creams, taupe, beige, or soft tones that blend beautifully with baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Comfortable Clothes for Dad<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Simple solids work best \u2014 white, gray, or tan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Anything Meaningful<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some parents bring:
\u2022 A special handmade blanket
\u2022 Memorial items
\u2022 A letterboard with baby\u2019s name
\u2022 A family heirloom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only if it fits your style \u2014 minimal is always best for Finch & Mae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What You Don\u2019t<\/em> Need to Bring<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u274c Props
\u274c Outfits with text
\u274c Hospital clutter (I\u2019ll help clear the space)
\u274c Anything elaborate \u2014 Fresh 48 is about emotion, not styling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Make Your First Hours Unforgettable<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your Fresh 48 session will be full of soft light, tiny details, and raw emotion \u2014 everything you\u2019ll want to remember years from now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
