    A pregnancy is a one of a kind period in a mother’s life, as it marks the much anticipated arrival of a new member to the family. This unforgettable moment may last only 9 months, but it can come and go in a flash. We believe that this special journey should be documented in a maternity shoot, and here’s why:   Treasure The Memories Forever A pregnancy is something that can usually only occur a handful of times in your lifetime if you’re lucky, and with some women, it can be a rarity.
