"I want to cherish the laughter, milestones, and unique moments that define our growing family. Capturing the changing dynamics and deepening love is crucial for me as a mother.

"I want to remember all the "firsts" in my baby's first year—the first smile, first steps, and those precious developmental milestones. Beyond that, I also want to capture the everyday joys—the cuddles, the bonding moments, and the unique personality that emerges. The rapid growth during the first year is incredible, and I want to freeze these memories in photographs to cherish those special moments.
