I have been keeping this a secret for so long, & I am so excited to finally be able to share these!! Some of you may recognize the guy in the pictures below 😉 Yes, that would be my 2nd shooter/assistant, Sean, with his lovely wife, Heather. I am so excited to announce that they are EXPECTING!! After praying hard for this little miracle, they are so excited to announce that they will be expecting a baby BOY come January!
I remember when Sean first told me the exciting news. It was actually a couple months back when Sean & I kicked off our first wedding of the season back in June. It was such a hot day, & we had just finished capturing the ceremony, family formals, & the Bride and Groom portraits outside. Like we usually do, right after the bridal party introductions we find somewhere to sit down (in the air conditioning!) to start uploading photos on my laptop to start preparing a couple surprises that I have for my bride and groom (which is a secret!). As we were sitting there waiting for the photos to transfer (while guzzling a gallon of water) we started making small talk. Then Sean leans in & proceeds to tell me that him and Heather were finally expecting! Before he could even get it out I knew what he was going to say! It was still very “hush hush” at the time as Heather was still in her first trimester, but I was so happy that he decided to share the news with me. I think my butt nearly came off my seat bc I was so ecstatic for them, lol.
As the weeks (or days, lol) went by, of course the photographer in me started thinking that they need to have an “Announcement Session!” I had never done one before, so to add to the celebration I insisted that I do one for them. Once Sean & Heather got back from their summer vacation in late July, we squeezed them in for a “Pregnancy Announcement” Session so that they would have a fun way of announcing the exciting news to family & friends. Although it was humid & the gnats were terrible, we ended up getting some really cute shots. Also, don’t mind the fact that we used the same sign in just about every photo…like I said, they were announcement photos 😉
Congratulations Sean & Heather! I can’t wait to meet the little guy once he arrives! You two are going to make awesome parents!
