Fresh 48 Photography in Dallas | CLJ Photography
Fresh 48 photography captures your baby’s very first hours in a raw, authentic, and beautiful way. These sessions are held at the hospital within 48 hours of birth, offering timeless newborn portraits that celebrate your family’s story.
At CLJ Photography, we elevate Fresh 48 sessions into a luxury portrait experience—combining artistry, heirloom-quality finishes, and editorial style for families who want more than just snapshots.
What is Fresh 48 Photography?
A Fresh 48 session takes place in the hospital within the first 24–48 hours after birth. Unlike posed studio newborn photography, these portraits document your baby’s authentic first milestones—tiny fingers gripping yours, first yawns, siblings meeting for the first time. The result is a collection of honest, meaningful images that feel both natural and timeless.
The Luxury Fresh 48 Portrait Experience
Your Fresh 48 session is $400 and includes:
- A 30–45 minute hospital session within 48 hours of birth
- 50–100 lightly edited portraits included in the flat rate
- Our signature editorial style
- Gentle direction to ensure flattering, timeless images
These sessions can also be bundled with a full newborn portrait experience, or maternity session, creating a complete story of your baby’s earliest days.
Fresh 48 vs. Newborn Photography
- Fresh 48: Captured in-hospital, unposed, natural, and emotional.
- Newborn: Captured in-studio within 7–14 days after birth, styled and refined with hair, makeup, and heirloom wardrobe options.
Both sessions complement each other beautifully, offering a fuller portrait story of your family’s journey into parenthood.
