It’s always an honor to be invited into the sacred first hours of a baby’s life.
My experience with the Hailey family was no exception. When they responded to my model call for Fresh 48 sessions, I was thrilled to meet this sweet family and capture a truly special moment. Little did I know, their session would become one of my favorites—a testament to the beauty, love, and raw emotion of new parenthood.
Iverson's First Morning
I arrived at the hospital the morning after their son, Iverson, was born. Walking into their hospital room, I was greeted by the familiar signs of a family adjusting to this life-changing moment: a room buzzing with chaos, bags ready for the journey home, and the quiet awe of two parents stepping into a new chapter.
It took me back to my own experience not long ago, bringing my daughter, Zara, into the world. The emotions, the exhaustion, the sheer joy—it all came rushing back. I felt an instant connection with the Haileys as I congratulated them on their beautiful baby boy.
Capturing the Hailey Family’s Love
We began the session with little Iverson, snug in his hospital bassinet, dressed in cozy pajamas with his name sign displayed proudly. His tiny features, soft yawns, and peaceful slumber were enough to melt anyone’s heart.
Then, the magic truly began. I captured a tender moment as Mom and Dad exchanged a warm embrace and kiss behind their tiny miracle. It was a gesture that spoke volumes about their love for each other and their shared joy in welcoming their son.
Next, Iverson was nestled in his mother’s arms. The way she held him, forehead pressed gently to his, radiated a love so deep it was almost tangible. As I clicked away, I knew I was witnessing something extraordinary—a connection that words could never fully describe.
When Dad took his turn holding Iverson, I could see the protective love of a father shining through. He cradled his son with such care and strength, it was as if the world outside the hospital room faded away. In those moments, the Hailey family created a quiet, peaceful bubble of warmth and love, and I was privileged to document it.
Timeless Memories for a Lifetime
After a heartfelt goodbye, I headed home, eager to begin editing the photos. To this day, this session holds a special place in my heart. Seeing the Hailey family’s joy and knowing these photos would forever remind them of their first 48 hours with Iverson is why I do what I do.
The first two days with a newborn pass in a blink. They’re filled with sleepless nights, overwhelming emotions, and fleeting moments of pure magic. That’s the beauty of Fresh 48 sessions—they freeze time and turn those moments into memories families can cherish forever.
