Heather, my best friend and Appletini’s Editor-in-chief is expecting her second child!  Woot…Woot…Auntie again!!  I could not be more excited for Jim, Heather, Hadley and Bella to add to their already adorable family!  {{Congratulations!!!}}  Hadley is so excited to be a big sister!  When I asked her what she was going to do with her baby sister she said “I’m going to take her to the playground and give hers candy” …can she get any cuter?

Heather knew well before her appointment what kind of gender reveal session she wanted to do and when she said books, I was pumped.  Heather and I love to come up with unique creative sessions that tell a story and neither of us had ever seen gender reveal images with books.  She grabbed a couple of piles of Hadley’s book and I made some custom cover and we started shooting.

Heather planned for her photo session to be the same day as the doctor’s appointment {{genius}} and after the doctor’s we met at the park for the big gender reveal.  I was able to give her a few images the next day and she printed and revealed to her family this past weekend.

I am just in love with this set of images.  From all the love I have for this wonderful family to Hadley’s cute little personality to the excitement that was in the air to the personal growth I see in my photography, I just LOVE these images and think they will always remain a favorite.

Love you Rizzos 😉
