I have had so much fun this year with my maternity sessions.
It really isn’t hurting that Tara is a gorgeous mama-to-be!
So this ribbon with Jaxson’s name on it is always going to have an added story behind it.
You see, Josh and I had been planning for weeks to do their session just before Tara’s surprise shower. Well, the weather called for snow on “Surprise Shower Day”, so I moved the session to the day before and conjured up a lie that tied in with this ribbon during the session.
The ribbon had a gazillion tiny glitter sparkles on it. In the end, it was those sparkles that allowed me to help out Josh with a story to ‘reschedule’ our session for the day of the surprise shower. I happened to put the ribbon into my camera bag to carry for the couple as I shot. I noticed that I was starting to get covered with sparkles as our time went on. That evening, I called and told Tara that the sparkles got INTO my camera and ruined our photos. She was devastated but clueless about her upcoming event. That little lie distracted her from worrying about anything but getting her photos retaken. She was able to arrive to her shower totally surprised and not in her sweatpants (a fear for both her and Josh since she knew that the surprise was going to happen, she just didn’t know WHEN).
I’m glad to have helped out with an awesome surprise!
I am in love with the love in this field.
This was my favorite location by far. It just really, really felt like Tara and Josh.
Thank you cute couple. Your baby boy is sure to be adorable!
