An expectant mother is accepted as being 'radiant', but inwardly will often feel very tired, worn out by coping with the day to day chores whilst suffering back-ache, made worse by a night of incessant kicking.  We can provide a record of mum looking as she should, either alone, perhaps quietly contemplating her bump, or complete with partner (even if he was kicking all night).  We can provide images showing the proud parents, sharing an intimate bond with their unborn child. 

BABIES

Babies grow at an alarming pace, and before we realise the change, we need to lock cupboards, block off staircases, and move valuables aloft by somewhere in the region of a metre.  This time is all too short, and often quite fraught, particularly if this is a first child as we step through a learning process of how to be a parent.  Taking the time to maintain a regular record of their growth can be difficult, and is often overlooked.

TODDLERS

How many parents have expressed a wish that their children could stay at the ages of two, three or four when they are at their most endearing?  At this age they melt our hearts on a regular basis.  The innate charm of their innocence brings a delight while we watch unobserved as 'best pals' play in the sunshine.  Their incredible imagination turning sticks into horses and themselves into dashing heroes in shining armour, or beautiful princesses.  These special moments in our children's lives stand out vividly in our memories.  Such memories are often evoked by a similar event, a smell, or an image which can send our memories flooding back to some special incident.  The most common time when these memories are induced is when the children have grown up, and we're flicking through the photograph album.  It's now that we can embarrass our offspring by disclosing errant and embarrassing behaviour in front of their future husband or wife.  And we do.
