Milwaukee Baby Photographer :: Gender Reveal
Yesterday, I had the honor to photograph something pretty amazing. If you've hung out in my corner of the Internet for a while you no doubt know I'm good friends with fellow blogger, Julia. She and her husband, Nate are expecting baby #2 and yesterday they had their big gender reveal.
I have to let you guys know how intense it was behind the scenes. You see, our friend Erin was going to get "the envelope" on Thursday evening to prepare for the reveal. I was going to find out the gender beforehand but I couldn't wait another second and texted Erin that night - "I can't wait until Saturday!" She called me that evening with the news and the anticipation for the photo shoot was up'd another ten notches! Let's just say I could barely eat my breakfast yesterday morning and practically ran out of the house the second my sitter arrived.
I'll let the photographs tell the rest of the story. It was amazing you guys...just amazing :)
Anticipation.....
Before the big moment, we had Nate and Julia place their bets. She thought girl. He said boy. And Truman said yellow :) Although there weren't any yellow balloons so by default he got pink!
And then, it was time.
PINK BALLOONS!!!!!
I have to sneak in a little story here. After the excitement calmed down a bit, the entire crew gathered while I scrolled through the photos on my camera. I showed everyone my favorite and then for some reason emotion hit hard and suddenly all four girls - Julia, Dizzy, Erin and I - were embraced in the tightest group hug ever with tears in our eyes. It was such a girl moment and a great one at that!
After we pulled ourselves together we continued on with photos.
Pregnant ladies on the left. The entire crew on the right. Crazy to think that in a couple of months there will be EIGHT babies among us. EIGHT!!!
It truly was one of the best events I've ever witnessed. And to say I'm beyond thrilled for Julia and Nate is an understatement. Love these guys and I'm so happy to be part of their special day :)

I love the pictures! I just saw the post on Julia's blog. :) I wish I had had the patience to do a gender reveal, I had one planned for Christmas morning with balloons, but I just couldn't wait and spoiled everything. Great job!

That is such a neat idea....I hadn't heard of a gender reveal with balloons before, so fun !! I make cakes and I have done 2 gender reveals so far. It's so exciting to find out and be the only one to know something so important. Great pictures !!! You are an amazing photographer and I really enjoy reading your blog and watching your kids grow. I have one of each too and they are 13 months apart. I know you are one busy mama :)
