This remodel is making me way more emotional than I expected. (Maybe it’s the paint fumes… or maybe it’s the memories.)
I haven’t really shared much about the behind-the-scenes of how Hello Baby started.
Before opening the studio, I worked as a traveling sonographer going to prisons and jails across Oklahoma. There was one jail that always had pregnant moms, and I ended up there every Wednesday. I would talk with these women every week until they had their babies.
I had the opportunity to listen to their stories, their struggles, and their goals for the future. There is something incredibly powerful about watching a mother grow a baby and begin forming that bond — especially when life hasn’t been easy.
Some of those moms held onto their ultrasound pictures so tightly and hung them all around their bunks. They were so proud and showed them to anyone who would look. I remember standing there sometimes and just feeling the happiness radiate through the room.
I still think about those women often. I wish they knew how much of an impact they had on me and how much they helped shape the heart behind Hello Baby.
When I say I have the best job ever, I truly mean it. For the last five years, I’ve had the honor of witnessing so many beautiful moments with families.
And now, as we remodel this space, I’m realizing it’s not just a studio we’re rebuilding… it’s a place filled with memories.
Thank you for letting us be a small part of such meaningful moments in your lives. It truly means more than you know.
Here’s to many more memories in the years ahead. ❤️
