“I’ll Book Photos When I Feel Better” — Said Every Mom Ever (Who Later Regretted It )

twin newborn family

Let’s talk about a very real timeline:

Pregnancy:
“I don’t feel cute right now… I’ll wait.”

Newborn stage:
“I’m exhausted… I’ll wait.”

3 months later:
“Life is crazy… I’ll wait.”

1 year later:
…wait.

Now you’re scrolling your camera roll thinking:

👉 “Why didn’t I just do the photos?”

 Pregnancy Is… Not Always Glamorous (Let’s Be Honest)

There’s this expectation that pregnancy should feel magical and glowing.

But in reality?

  • you’re tired
  • your face and feet are swollen
  • nothing fits right
  • everything hurts
  • and your emotions are all over the place

“Glowing” sometimes just means sweaty. 😅

So of course the thought is:

👉 “I’ll take photos when I feel more like myself.”

But here’s the truth…

This version of you matters too.

The one growing a whole human.
The one in the waiting season.
The one your baby will one day look back at in awe.

 And Then Baby Arrives…

And suddenly you’re in survival mode.

  • running on no sleep
  • covered in milk (or spit up… or both)
  • wondering what day it is

Photos?

They feel like the last thing on your mind.

But here’s the wild part:

👉 This is the stage that disappears the fastest.

Those tiny fingers.
The sleepy stretches.
The way they curl up on your chest.

It changes in weeks.

 Real Talk From the Studio

After well over 10 years of photographing baby bumps and newborns in my Big Spring, Texas studio, I can tell you something with full confidence:

The moms who say:
“I almost didn’t book this…”

Are the SAME moms crying at their ordering appointment.

Every. Single. Time.

Because once they see it?

They realize:

👉 “This is what I didn’t want to forget.”

 You Don’t Need to Feel “Ready”

You don’t need:

  • the perfect body
  • the perfect outfit
  • the perfect schedule

You just need to show up. This is where I come in! I’ll make you look amazing and yet, still like yourself! We will get that epic shot that makes you feel like a million bucks and if you have other littles that are on the go and you aren’t sure if they will be still long enough for the shot…. just look through the website galleries of Facebook posts… they are full of the same scenario but we got it! Truth is, it only takes a second!

I guide you through everything — from what to wear to how to hold your baby and fix your face — so you can actually relax and just be present.

 Worth the Drive (And Designed to Be Easy)

My cozy boutique studio is located in Big Spring, TX, and I regularly serve families from:

Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, Abilene, Lubbock, and surrounding West Texas areas (I’m so blessed to have families that drive in to see me and locals who trust me!)

Everything is designed to be simple and stress-free:
✔ snacks + drinks
✔ baby-led sessions
✔ a calm, welcoming environment

✔ activities to keep the other kidos happy

Because you have enough going on already.

 The Honest Reminder You Might Need

There is never a “perfect” time.

There is only:
👉 now
