Fresh 48 Newborn Photography in Boise & Treasure Valley:

Capturing Baby’s First 48 Hours


Welcoming a newborn is one of life’s most magical moments, and capturing those first 48 hours is truly priceless. In Boise and around the Treasure Valley, parents are discovering the beauty of Fresh 48 sessions—a simple, intimate way to document your baby’s very first moments, right in the hospital.


With many hospitals no longer offering in-house newborn photography, more families are choosing to hire a private Fresh 48 photographer to capture these memories in a more personal, lifestyle-focused way.


What is a Fresh 48 Session?


A Fresh 48 session is a short, relaxed newborn photography session that takes place within the first two days of your baby’s life. These sessions are designed to capture those tiny details—the little fingers, soft toes, and sleepy expressions—while your newborn is still fresh from birth. Unlike longer newborn sessions at home, Fresh 48 sessions are quick, intimate, and perfectly suited for the hospital setting.


Why Choose a Local Boise Photographer?


Choosing a local Fresh 48 photographer means you get someone familiar with the hospitals in Boise and throughout the Treasure Valley. I know how to work within hospital policies and create beautiful, natural images right at your bedside. You can be included in the photos if you like, or we can focus on your baby’s tiny features for a gentle, simple approach.


What to Expect


Fresh 48 sessions are short, usually around 30–40 minutes, so they fit easily into your hospital stay. I work quickly and efficiently, and you’ll receive your professionally edited images within 2–3 business days. This means you can start sharing those precious first moments with family and friends almost immediately.

Whether you want the whole family in the photos or just the baby, each session is personalized to your comfort and preferences.


Tips for Parents


Let me know your baby’s expected arrival date, so I can be ready.

Bring any special blankets or outfits you want included in the photos.

Relax and enjoy the moment—my job is to capture the memories while you soak in this incredible time.
