Marisa + Andrew (Part 1)

I spent this past weekend in VA Beach,  where I did two photo sessions!!!  I will start with Marisa and Andrew’s “gender reveal” session.  It was an exciting shoot and we all had a blast!  I met Andrew and Marisa this past Christmas.  To keep a long story short,  Lee and Andrew a relatives,  and so we got to spend some time with them over the holidays!  When Andrew and Marisa told me they were pregnant,  and then asked me to do their session,  I was thrilled!

Marisa and Andrew kept the gender of their baby a secret…  even from themselves!  Say WHAT?!  They took a note to the doctor’s office and had the staff circle “Boy” or “Girl” on a piece of paper,  and then put it in an envelope.  Then Marisa made an AWESOME box and took it to the balloon store.  She gave the box and the envelope to them,  so they could fill the box with pink or blue balloons.

As we drove up to the beach Marisa got a little nervous because in a few moments she was going to find out if baby Muhs was a boy or a girl!  We grabbed the box and scouted out a spot on the beach.  There was a little pause and then Marisa and Andrew opened the box!!!  Pink and blue balloons FLEW out of the box and into the sky!  After a moment there were three BLUE balloons that were tied to a weight.  Blue…  IT’S A BOY!  It was such an exciting moment to share with Andrew and Marisa!

We took a moment to celebrate,  and then Marisa and Andrew made a few phone calls to tell their family.  We spent the rest of the morning walking on the beach and taking pictures.  It was a very special session and I’m glad I had the opportunity to be apart of it!
