“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” – Rajneesh
That is my favorite quote of all time. It describes how I feel about becoming a mother – so simple, and so perfectly. My life changed dramatically the day Abby was born, and she is the total sunshine of my life. I had never planned to have children, and was overwhelmed by what a beautiful experience it was when I unexpectedly became a mother a year and a half ago. I’ve cherished every single moment since then – Through the sleepless nights and endless diapers, to the new toddler tantrums and catastrophes. It’s a hard job, but the benefits package kind of rocks.
“I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine – she helps me grow, prosper, and reach great heights.” – Terri Guillemets

“Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had, and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed.” – Linda Wooten
This is my favorite photo of my little family… It was taken very late in the fall, and there was actually some snow on the ground already! But the totally amazing Amber Miller found one spot that was still bright with colorful fall leaves, and was able to capture the three of us sharing a fun moment. A super special picture needs an equally special presentation – and I just love the design of this Family Portrait design. {Tip: This design is able to fully customized with your family name. Long story, but Mike, Abby, and I all have different last names right now – we’re in the process of changing his. So I just had it printed with a basic message of “Our Family” instead.} It’s surprising how hard it is to get a really great picture, of a picture – But trust me, this looks even more beautiful in person. The details are all made from such high-quality paper, with gorgeous texture. It’s the perfect addition to our family photo wall, there is a perfect design choice just waiting to be created for your own photo wall – and this would make a perfect gift for a special mom in your life for Mother’s Day!
“Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, comrades and friends – but only one mother in the whole world.” – Kate Douglas Wiggin

I would love to get a professional family photo. I think the best one of us, maybe the only one of us, was when my son was 10 months…and he’s 4 now!!
Wow they do a really good job! I have never heard of them! I will have to look in this further, my in laws live in Africa and have never met their grandson this would be a sweet way to do it!
Ive been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to scrapbook at all since my son was born three years ago. And now I have 2 kids! This would be the perfect opportunity. Love what they have to offer.
I have never heard of this company before! Thanks for sharing! I have been slacking on my scrap booking… now I am inspired to get started again!
I love how you framed your scrapbook page..and it is soo special, I would do that too, est.2006 ;)
Great idea! We literally have boxes of professional photographs the we never framed because I could never decide how exactly I wanted to display them. These frames make it easy!
Becoming a mom is a life changing experience that is for sure! Love these creative frames for capturing the special moments!

Talking about my mom is not the best idea, but I’ll tell you that my stepmother is the kindest, most loving person I have ever known!!
I have one of their framed photo layouts hanging on my wall and I love it! I always get compliments on it. I like yours a lot. Cute family!
