I{'ve| have actually} {spoken to|talked to|spoken with} {many|numerous|lots of} {women|ladies|females} that feel so un-like their {normal|typical|regular} self while pregnant that they can't {imagine|picture|think of|envision} {capturing|catching|recording} that time on {film|movie}. When I {speak to|talk to|speak with} them {again|once again}, after their {baby|infant|child} {has|has actually} {arrived|shown up|gotten here}, they {often|frequently|typically} {mention|discuss|point out} {how much|just how much} they {miss|miss out on} being pregnant, {miss|miss out on} feeling the {baby|infant|child} {inside of|within} them, and {miss|miss out on} {being part of|belonging to|becoming part of} that {special|unique} experience. They {find|discover} themselves {regretting|being sorry for} not having {photos|pictures|images} to {look back on|reflect on|review}. They {regret|are sorry for} not having {pictures|photos|images} to {show|reveal} their {child|kid}. They {regret|are sorry for} not {preserving|protecting|maintaining} the memory.

{Even though|Although|Despite the fact that} we feel {different|various} enough while we're pregnant that we {don't|do not} {think|believe} that we {want to|wish to} remember what we {looked like|appeared like} {during|throughout} this time, it{'s important| is essential| is very important| is necessary} {to remember|to keep in mind|to bear in mind} that the {photographs|photos|pictures} that we {capture|catch|record} {during|throughout} this time {are about|have to do with} {so much|a lot} more than {looks|appearances}. They {are about|have to do with} {remember|keep in mind} {a feeling|a sensation}. They {are about|have to do with} remembering what we went through, what we experienced, what we did to get our {precious|valuable} {baby|infant|child} here.

{Once|When|As soon as} the {baby|infant|child} arrives it's {easy|simple} to turn the {camera|video camera|cam|electronic camera} around and click that button non-stop {trying|attempting} to {capture|catch|record} every {moment|minute} you {share with|show} your {new|brand-new} {baby|infant|child}. There is a strong desire to freeze time as your {infant|baby} {changes|modifications} from {moment|minute} to {moment|minute}.

As {a mother|a mom} of {five|5}, I {know|understand} {exactly|precisely} how {fast|quick|quickly} those {special|unique} {moments|minutes} go. The most {fleeting|short lived} time {seems|appears} to be the newborn {stage|phase}. Those {first|very first} {few|couple of} weeks as we're {getting to know|learning more about|being familiar with} our {baby|infant|child} {seem|appear} to {fly by|zip}, and {before|prior to} {we know|we understand} it, we no longer have a newborn. This {has|has actually} {been one of|been among} my {favorite|preferred} {stages|phases} as {a mom|a mother|a mommy|a mama} - one that I {wish|want} I {could|might} freeze {forever|permanently}, yet in the {craziness|insaneness|madness} of settling in to motherhood, this {stage|phase} {seems|appears} to go {quicker|faster} than any other.

{Because|Since|Due to the fact that} as {moms|mothers|mommies|mamas}, we {lack|do not have} the freeze button that we so {often|frequently|typically} {wish for|want|long for}, I {find|discover} it so {important|essential|crucial} to {capture|catch|record} this {special|unique} time on {camera|video camera|cam|electronic camera}. And while I {find|discover} it {important|essential|crucial} to {always|constantly} have my own {camera|video camera|cam|electronic camera} charged and {ready|prepared|all set} to go, I {also|likewise} see the {importance|significance|value} in {hiring|employing|working with} {a professional|an expert} - {someone|somebody} that is {experienced|skilled|knowledgeable}, not {only|just} in photography, {but|however} {also|likewise} in {handling|dealing with|managing} {fragile|delicate|vulnerable}, newborn {infants|babies}. I see the {value|worth} in letting {someone else|another person|somebody else} {help|assist} you freeze your {infant|baby}'s {first|very first} facial expressions, their {first|very first} {looks|appearances}, their {tiny|small} toes and {brand|brand name} {new|brand-new} eyelashes. I feel that it {is important|is essential|is very important|is necessary} to {find|discover} {someone|somebody} that will {help|assist} you {remember|keep in mind} those {first|very first} {few|couple of} weeks that you {spent|invested} together, {getting to know|learning more about|being familiar with} each other, and falling in love.

{Capture|Catch|Record} those {moments|minutes}. Freeze that {special|unique} time. {Remember|Keep in mind} {forever|permanently}.
