Since Jack's birth, Mother's Day has taken on a whole new meaning for me. Not only do I celebrate my own mother and thank her for the presence and influence she has in my life, but now I also celebrate myself as a mother. I relish in the joy of motherhood, enjoying all for which it is, sacred, special and fulfilling. Of course I also celebrate my mother-in-law and all the other wonderful mothers I know who touch and enrich my life each day, but there is something different and unique to be among one of the "celebrated" as a mother myself.
Part of my celebratory tradition includes having a Mother's Day photo shoot with Jack, and this year we expanded it to also be a Maternity Mini-Session. So on Monday, May 7th, in a spring wind storm with rain on the horizon, we ventured out to The Marietta Square to have some pictures taken at almost 29 weeks pregnant. I can't believe how beautiful they turned out, even with the uncooperative weather! Discovering
Lisa Rappa Photography was one of the best treasures I have ever found, and I am so happy with her work. She has become part of my family's milestones, capturing each new stage of our life together, and I truly find her talent remarkable. I am so excited for her to take Lander's newborn photos once she makes her debut!

| Really love the textures in this pic! |
 |
| It was really windy, and Jack was holding onto that balloon for dear life! He did not want it to fly away! |
 |
| Jack is so excited for his little sister, holding an "ITS A GIRL" balloon! |
 |
| Jack loves trains, and we were lucky enough to be there as one raced by! |
 |
| It is amazing to me that Lisa can make me look this good! I truly LOVE this picture, and I am always so critical of myself! |
 |
| Best kisser I know! |
 |
| Happy Mother's Day to me! |
 |
| Now that is a bump! |
 |
| And the wind blows... |
Thank you to Lisa Rappa for these amazing photos I will cherish forever!
