What to Wear: Fresh 48 Newborn Photography
What should I wear for my baby’s Fresh 48 Newborn Photo Session?
Fresh 48 photography and video are some of my very favorite sessions. The joy and newness of this time are beyond compare, and the images from these hospital sessions are treasures.
But I get it. Just because you’re in the hospital doesn’t mean you want to wear the standard issue hospital gown for these baby photos.
And who could blame you? Hospital gowns are great for the purpose of providing both a modicum of modesty and accessibility for your care during labor and delivery, but can’t exactly be considered well-fitting or beautiful!
Which is exactly where these robes - perfect for a Fresh 48 hospital photo session for your newborn baby - come into play.
The first time I arrived for a Fresh 48 session to find the new mama wearing one of these robes I thought, this is genius!
After all, after your post-delivery shower, you WANT to change into something of your own - something that’s super comfortable and will also look amazing in your photos!
Knowing so many of my mamas feel the same way, I put together this quick guide to share some of my favorite robes for newborn photos in the hospital.
Each of these robes will make you feel amazing - or at least camera-ready! - and will look beautiful through my lens.
The photos below come directly from each online store website, so that you can see their models wearing each robe.
Prices range from $25-$55, depending on the robe. Just click on any robe you love, and you’ll be taken straight to that robe on Amazon.
Shopping straight from this page means you are using my Amazon affiliate code (thank you!), but please purchase the robe you love for your Fresh 48 newborn photo session wherever is best for you.
Happy scrolling!
