"I want to remember all the "firsts" in my baby's first year—those first smiles, steps, and milestones. I also want to capture the everyday joys—cuddles, bonding moments, and the unique personality that's emerging. The first year's rapid growth is incredible, and I want to have these memories captured to look back on and treasure always."
