Welcome to the World, Atlas – A Beautiful Fresh 48 Session in McKinney, Texas
There are few things as magical as documenting a family’s first 24 hours with their brand-new baby. ✨This Fresh 48 session at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in McKinney, Texas was pure perfection. Sweet baby Atlas had just arrived, and the hospital room was filled with love, light, and joy.
Mom was wrapped in a dreamy blue robe, cuddling her tiny boy who matched perfectly in his soft blue swaddle. Dad proudly wore a shirt that simply said Dad, while big sister Arianna sported her adorable Big Sister tee and the biggest smile imaginable. It was one of those moments where everything just felt right — a picture-perfect introduction to life as a family of four.
A Full-Circle Moment
I first met this beautiful family during their maternity session, and being invited back to capture their next milestone was the greatest honor. Getting to witness families grow through each chapter of their lives — from maternity to newborn to milestone sessions — is truly the heart of what I do.
Every photograph tells a story, and Atlas’s story began surrounded by the warmth and connection that defines his family. These early hospital images are so fleeting — the tiny yawns, curled fingers, the proud smiles of new parents, and the sweet awe of a big sister meeting her baby brother for the first time.
This session was the perfect reminder of why I love Fresh 48 photography: it’s raw, emotional, and real. No posing, no props — just pure love captured as it unfolds.
What Is a Fresh 48 Session?
A Fresh 48 session takes place within the first 24–48 hours after your baby’s birth, usually at the hospital or birthing center. It’s an intimate, lifestyle-based photoshoot that focuses on all the beautiful in-between moments — the way mom looks at her baby, the tiny details you’ll never want to forget, and the story of your baby’s very first day earth-side.
Unlike traditional newborn sessions, which are often done 1–2 weeks after birth, Fresh 48 sessions freeze time right when everything is still fresh and full of emotion.

A Photographer’s Perspective
Photographing Fresh 48 sessions always feels sacred — a pause in time during life’s most beautiful whirlwind. Every family I meet reminds me that these quiet, love-filled moments are what truly matter.
To the [family name] family — thank you for trusting me once again to tell your story. Watching Arianna step into her role as big sister and seeing the sparkle in Mom and Dad’s eyes as they gazed at Atlas was everything.
If you’re considering a Fresh 48 session in the Fort Worth – Dallas area, it would be an honor to document your first hours together too.
