We live in a world where phones take stunning photos—and as a mom, you’re probably already snapping away. But when it comes to those once-in-a-lifetime newborn moments, is DIY enough?
Let’s take a gentle, honest look at professional newborn photography vs DIY—and what’s truly right for your family.
