Family Session with a Surprise Baby Announcement!

In honor of fall and Back to School time, I thought I’d throw it back to this emotional baby announcement!

So this may be the most moving session I’ve ever been a part of. A little background: I was already scheduled to have a “back to school” photo session with this extended family, and it kept getting postponed. But when the newlyweds in charge found out they were going to be having a baby, they decided to make this a family announcement session, and we set the date after their first sonogram so they could bring a photo of the new bebe. 

Honestly I was SO nervous that I would accidentally spill the beans! We saved the announcement for the end, so I went through all of the normal family and kid groupings like no big deal, and then the plan was that a good friend of the family would just happen to be walking by (so suave), and bring the sonogram photo with her.

So while the whole family was posing together, they started showing everyone the photo. As the news slowly started sinking in with the grandparents, the reactions were priceless! Tears, laughter, screaming, hugging and cheering! Keep scrolling to see the “OMG” moment, some of the most genuine emotion, and a family bursting with love.

I’m incredibly honored to be this family’s “moment photographer”!
