That’s when the dreaming begins… You dream of having a cute baby bump. You dream of meeting your baby and kissing her sweet cheeks. You dream of rocking him to sleep in his perfectly decorated nursery. Don’t let these magical moments pass and all you’re left with is the memories. Celebrate the beauty of motherhood with gorgeous photos you’ll love forever! My motherhood story begins with the birth of my daughter, Annabelle. Every day she was growing and changing, and I was afraid I would forget the sweet little things I loved about each stage. As a brand new mama, I captured the big and little moments of life with my baby girl. Many of them I would have forgotten by now without the photos that take me back to her early days. After our first daughter was born, my husband and I welcomed two more girls, Emily and Josephine. We had maternity, Fresh 48 and in-home newborn photos taken with each baby. It’s amazing to look back and see how much our lives have changed since our girls were born. That old saying about raising children is so true – the days are long, but the years are short. The truth is, you think you’ll remember every little thing about your baby – but you won’t. The tiny yawn of a newborn baby, along with those impossibly small fingers and toes, will change in the blink of an eye. In fact, the newborn stage is really only about six weeks long, and then you’ll watch your baby fly through the milestones of his or her first year. Motherhood is such a transformative experience. You won’t believe all the ways a baby changes your life! For many of us, raising a child is the single greatest thing we’ll ever do. I’d love to help you savor these amazing moments with stunning photos you’ll treasure for a lifetime! when KBP officially launched gorgeous photo sessions every month mamas, babies & families photographed clients have gone way past their due dates!It’s your turn to celebrate motherhood!
