One of the things I love most about being a maternity and newborn photographer is getting to come alongside families and share in the excitement and anticipation of the arrival of their newest family member! I have always daydreamed about photographing a gender reveal as part of a session, so when Kristen contacted me about a family photo session that included a gender reveal for baby #3… I could not have said yes fast enough!
That morning, Kristen’s friend Katherine (who happens to be another one of my fabulous clients!) met up with us to assist with the big reveal. We spent a few minutes catching up while I fawned over her newest addition, and then she handed me the envelope with a congratulatory card and an ultrasound photo revealing the baby-to-be’s gender! I have to say, I have never before known the gender of someone else’s baby before they have, and it was SUCH a special and exciting moment! Katherine and I double (and triple!) checked to make sure we had the correct smoke bombs. We headed to the back yard with Kristen, DJ, and their two girls, and as I got everyone ready for the big reveal, I asked for their final guesses. Boy, boy, girl, and “healthy baby!”
