I still remember that first moment, when I discovered that I was pregnant, with my first child. I stared at at that positive reading on the pee stick and felt a door open into a world of unknowns. It was exciting, scary and beautiful all in one breath. The journey of motherhood is one of challenges, beauty, much learning and self-discovery. I would not change it for a minute.

Here is to Xan, mother of Jake and mother of the little being growing within. You are a wonderful mother Xan. It was a pleasure photographing you and your beautiful family.
