Photo Session -- It's A Boy

I had the opportunity to do a photoshoot for the sweetest couple I know. I know that the phrase is thrown around a lot, but I mean it. I've know that since I met this couple about two years ago I knew that their marriage is what I wanted mine to look like. They are a wonderful example of Jesus' love.

Meet Amy & Mo--

They just found out that they are expecting their first little babe. With so many cute ideas of how to tell their parents, how to tell their friends and most importantly how to tell one another the gender-- I received a phone call from a very, very excited Amy and she went over the ideas she had.

The idea was this:
1. I get the ultrasound picture in a sealed envelope.
2. Open it
3. Get blue paint or pink paint
4. Get empty (squeeze) bottles
5. Cover them in white
6. Fill them with paint
7. Do not tell a soul what the gender is
8. Do not tell a single soul what the gender is
9. Not even my backup photographer, until minutes before the shoot
10. Take pictures of them throwing the paint on one another
11. Catch their reactions to the reveal
12. Be creative with it

I scouted for a location, only to come back to a field near my house that was too pretty too pass up.

I found a backup photographer. Who is pretty good, might I add.

&& we started the session. It was exciting and nerve racking a bit because I wanted to be sure to get good shots of their reaction.

Here is the one of the first ones taken that day:  this is the moment Amy saw the blue paint. She shouted "It's a boy, we are having a boy" and dropped the bottles of paint and ran towards Mo only for him to scoop her up and kiss her. It was a moment that I will never forget. The pure joy in the moment was beautiful. 

It was such a pretty day, the weather was on point.These two are so easy to photograph simply because the love they share for one another.


Thank you Mo and Amy for allowing me to be a part of this.
