"Where did the time go..."
Speak to any parent and that's what they'll say. Before you know it your little baby has grown into a full miniature rendition of yourself and partner, asking "why" constantly while you wrestle to get one leg into pants and try to find your keys that they've hidden for fun as the clock ticks further past the time you were 'supposed' to be out the door.... gasp - breathe!
But, as you tuck that little gem into bed at night and exhausted, you walk down the hall, you pause. There on the wall is that one photo. Taken when they were a mere few weeks old. Curled up, soft, pink, with your nose, his chin. The day you realised you were now your own family. Brand new, bonded together forever. A Mum, a Dad.
In those first few months of becoming a parent, it can become a blur of sleepless nights, nappies, feeding and loads of midnight google searches. Believe I know. One decision I treasure the most is having photos of my son. Even today, 8 years later, I can look at that photo and remember how incredible those first moments were, what we overcame, where we are now. It brings back memories I never even knew my tired mind could register at the time.
So as you sit there, scrolling through your socials, and balancing a bowl of potato chips on your growing belly...consider making another life long commitment. Consider making an investment in your memories. Because when you walk down that hall after your baby has left the nest, you'll want to look back and remember when it all began and you'll ask yourself "where did the time go...?"
And that's why, you need Newborn photos.
