[Editor's note: We know that being pregnant can be, well, a lot. And understanding what you really need versus what's just a nice-to-have takes time . With your needs in mind, we've selected the best products for pregnancy in The Motherly Shop. We've got you, mama.]
The first year of your baby's life will fly by faster than you can imagine. One second you're holding a newborn in your arms at the hospital and the next they're taking their first steps. This leaves us wishing we could freeze time and just keep them forever in that one moment.
Luckily, through photography, we can capture those moments and revisit them to remember those special feelings and that fleeting stage. It's the closest thing we have to a time machine. So grab your cameras, grab your cell phones, and capture those memories!
