I am so excited that I can finally share these images! I had the honor of capturing one of the most special moments in a couple’s life. That moment when you stop being just husband and wife and become a family of 3! I met Camille before her wedding when I shot a pre-wedding session for her. During that session we talked about all the fun ideas I had for future sessions and it included a fun and creative way to tell your husband you are pregnant. So when she texted me with the line “remember that idea you had….” I almost couldn’t contain my excitement. We immediately set-up a session under the rouse of taking pictures for their first Christmas card together 🙂
About half way through the session, after what probably seemed like eternity for Camille, we got to the fun part. I asked them to “try something new” for me and gave each of them a piece of paper and a maker with the task of writing a sweet note to the other person. He wrote what can only be described as a short essay, while her message was simple “We are Having a Baby!”
I placed them back to back, counted to 3 and waited for the reaction. It was the most perfect reaction! I am so excited for this adorable couple and can’t wait to capture more priceless moments in their life.

What an incredible moment you captured with such grace! Kudos to the photographer and congrats to the parents (and guard dogs) to be!
This was the best photography session I have ever come across! Love it, everything about it was perfectly done! Wow, this was great, congratulations to the family!! 😉
Thank you! I had such an amazing time capturing this moment for them. They are a wonderful couple!
What an absolutely priceless set of memorable photographs!!! You know, the child she’s carrying will cherish it the most. Children always want to know about themselves before their own memory kicks into gear..somewhere around 5-6 yrs old. I have an 11 and 15 yr old & they still LOVE to hear fun stories of when I was pregnant. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE PHOTOS & of course, the guard dogs are too precious
What a wonderful idea and a priceless photo shoot! Think how much they will LOVE having these pictures years from now! Great job Kendra. (Only wish I lived near Dallas!)
That is such a cool idea. Way to go, Kendra for making this work out so perfectly.
This is so awesome! ! I love this idea!!!!
Why is the shot of his recognition of the message the smallest image on this page?
I agree it should be a large print to see his face I couldn’t zoom in
At one point I had added a larger picture of his reaction, but then it disappeared. I will add it again!
Wow! Wish you were in Michigan! I want to do something like that one day!
Absolutely the cutest announcement session ever!!!!
I can’t read what he put on his posterboard, can you tell us what it says, or blow it up so we can see that?

Exactly what I would like to know!
What did he write?
Oh my gosh, this is so sweet! I love it!!!

I’ve never seen “we’re having a baby” photo shoot before, but it’s a fantstic idea! Fantastic photo shoot too! You captured the love perfectly.
Strong work, really loved this concept and such a happy capture… Well done!
The couple photos are so awesome. I also think the three sets of boots are neat. A friend did a similar photo with 1 + 1 = 3. The dog photo is so cute. All five are going to have so much fun together.
I think I teared up when I seen his expression! !!! Fantastic!
I saw this on Parents FB and I have to say that this is theeee cutest baby announcement ever! Total tear jerker!
