Around 3 years ago I did a very fun engagement session with the lovely Ashley & Kleo on a frozen Chicago day down in the park.
Recently Ashley contacted me with the news that she was expecting their first child and she had a special request for the maternity shoot.
Ashley had found some fun pictures online in which the Mom & Dad to-be had showered each other with paint reflecting the gender of their impending baby. Ashley was looking to do something similar.
I thought it sounded like great fun but wanted to add a little twist. I thought that it would be amazing if somehow we could arrange it so that when the paint was thrown. it would be at THAT moment when Ashley & Kleo discovered whether they were having a boy or a girl.
Well it took a little arranging but that's exactly what happened, with some help from Ashley's sister & Kleo's best friend. After their ultrasound the results were placed in a sealed envelope and given to Ashley's sister. When they all arrived at our place the correct color paint was carefully (& secretly) put into squeeze bottles.
We then took off to get our pictures.
After a quick stop at our local tot-lot we arrived at our 'reveal' location. The moment the paint started to fly was the moment Ashley & Kleo found out that they were going to be Mom & Dad to a brand new baby GIRL!
And they couldn't have been happier!!!
Congratulations guys, we cant WAIT to meet your baby girl!
