Welcoming Beckham Wells: The Bedford Family’s Fresh 48 Session

Capturing a newborn’s first moments—tiny yawns, delicate fingers, and pure love—is an unforgettable and magical experience. I had the honor of documenting the Bedford family as they welcomed their sweet baby boy, Beckham Wells, into the world with a Fresh 48 session.

In their serene hospital room, this session beautifully showcased the intimate love and joy of Beckham’s arrival. Moreover, soft afternoon light revealed Mom and Dad’s awe as they held their son, marveling at his every detail.

Why Choose a Fresh 48 Session?

A Fresh 48 session is a beautiful way to preserve those fleeting first hours after your baby arrives. Unlike a posed newborn shoot, these sessions are all about the real, unfiltered moments. Beckham’s session was filled with tender exchanges, from gentle kisses on his forehead to proud glances exchanged between his parents as they embraced their new roles.

For the Bedfords, this Fresh 48 session was especially significant. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing their growing family, and now seeing them step into this new chapter with Beckham was heartwarming.

Details That Made This Session Special

Beckham wore the tiniest baby onesie in soft cream, perfectly complementing the neutral tones of the hospital room. Meanwhile, the simple setting highlighted Dad’s protective hold, Mom’s gentle kisses, and Beckham’s peaceful expressions as he slept.

How to Plan Your Fresh 48 Session

Considering a Fresh 48 session? Here are tips to make it seamless and truly memorable.

  1. Timing Is Everything: These sessions are best done within the first 48 hours after birth, so let your photographer know your due date in advance.
  2. Keep It Simple: Neutral outfits and minimal props help keep the focus on the love and connection in the room.
  3. Capture the Details: Tiny toes, hospital bracelets, and the first cuddles are moments you’ll cherish forever.

 

The Bedford family’s Fresh 48 session was a reminder of how powerful photography can be in telling the story of a family’s journey. Indeed, Beckham Wells, your family loves you deeply, and I feel incredibly honored to share in your first day.

If you’re expecting and want to document these precious early moments, a Fresh 48 session is a beautiful way to celebrate your new addition. Reach out today to book your session—I’d love to help tell your family’s story.
