Undeniably, many products and experiences are marketed as sources of happiness. However, one of the most significant and authentic sources of joy for a family is the birth of a baby. When a newborn cries for the first time, any lingering anxiety or tension dissipates, replaced by the awe-inspiring miracle of life. Parents love their newborns so profoundly that they often hire professional photographers to capture the early months of their baby’s life so that they can treasure the memories forever.
