One of the greatest privileges of being a photographer is working with returning clients. This time, we collaborated on a fun baby gender reveal session. What an honor it is to share in these special moments and document them with my camera! I first met Beth when she brought her sweet baby girl in for newborn pictures a couple years ago. (You can see Aubrey’s newborn photography session on the blog, too!) We’ve kept in touch, even though her family temporarily moved out of state, as did mine, and finally we found ourselves both back in the Wilmington, NC area again! What a privilege to work with this sweet family again!
Beth is expecting #3 in just a few short weeks. When the time came for her ultrasound, their tech put the big news into a sealed envelope which was delivered to me. My job was to buy the right color of balloons – something I almost jinxed because they had written the word “boy” on a pink slip of paper, and it was really messing with my mind!! Thankfully I did walk out of the store with the correct color. Whew! That was almost too much for this mommy brain (yes, I’m expecting my second in just a couple months, as well, and was then in the throes of morning sickness, which for me lasts all day, all night, and weeks longer than it typically should. Ugh.)
With that job out of the way, we met at a park in beautiful Wilmington, NC, and I had two awesome helpers deliver the fun news to Mom and Dad! It was priceless to capture their reaction to the news. I know this baby boy is going to be loved beyond measure. He has such an awesome family!
After the session, I put together a fun video slideshow for them so they could share with their family and friends. You can enjoy it here, too!
Of course, with Christmas coming up, we also had to get a few family pictures for Christmas cards, which we made fun with yummy Starbucks hot cocoas all around.
