Motherhood is a beautiful and most rewarding experience in life. Before becoming a mother you can imagine, dream, and some might even cringe at what it’s like, but being a mother is a million times better with heart explosions every day (I know so cliché). It’s the fact that this being is here because of you, because you nurtured it for ten months, and then after this gorgeous babe entered the world you continued to love, feed, and help him or her (or both) grow. The baby, child, teen, and so on carry parts of your personality, morals, nose, hair and eye color, character, and everything else in between. Now being a first-time mother is well even more the bomb, (lol is that still cool to say???) because all these expererinces are brand new with unknown end results that most of the time end in laughter, like hearing tiny baby farts, or just plain warm and fuzzy feelings when your babe says your name. Motherhood is a wonderful thang ya’ll!

I thought I’d write a little longer then usual and  dedicate this portion to the mamas because we are in May, but pretty much the same goes for dads except the whole child bearing portion that is basically allows your babe to enter into the world (Ha! You know I’m just being hard on you dads.)

Meet baby Athena again! I recently had the honor to photograph her Day After Birth session, which was an amazing experience being on the other side of that hospital bed! Here she is again just as adorable or even more because her personality is starting to shine through after just twenty-one days of life. Congratulations Cindy and Herman on your first babe. She’s just a doll!
