This was definitely one of the more exciting sessions I've had! When I redesigned my baby packages at the beginning of the year I thought, why not include a gender reveal session? There are a lot of different ways to do this. You can have pictures at the party where you either announce to everyone else in a cute way who is residing in your tummy, or you can find out yourself before the party. Kaitlyn and Philip decided to do my favorite way - find out AT the photo session!!! Sometimes it's hard to remember our feelings and reactions to finding out the gender because of the birth and all the exciting stuff after the baby gets here, so it's really special to have it all on camera where you can go back and look from time to time!

We agreed to meet at Hendrix College (halfway between us) for a lovely sunset shoot. They had brought both pink and blue paint, balloons, and outfits because they had no idea! The ultrasound tech had written it down on an ultrasound image in a "top secret" sealed envelope to be opened by yours truly :)

genrveal-1 genrveal-2 genrveal-3 Kaitlyn thought FOR SURE she was having a boy, and Philip thought it was a girl, so they wore blindfolds in the color of their guesses. I was so excited to open the envelope and discover what these two were DYING to know, and I picked up the pink paint and put it on Philip's hands. The heart-hands paint reveal is getting really popular due to Pinterest, but I thought it was new and refreshing to use the paint to reveal to the couple what they were having instead of using it to reveal to Facebook :)

genrveal-4 genrveal-5 genrveal-6 genrveal-7 And on the count of three they took off their blindfolds and found out what they'd been wanting to know for 20 weeks!!

genrveal-8 genrveal-9 genrveal-10 genrveal-11 genrveal-12 genrveal-13 genrveal-14 genrveal-16 genrveal-17 genrveal-18 genrveal-19 genrveal-20 genrveal-21 genrveal-22

I'm so excited to be able to document the rest of these special moments for the Prices and to get to meet little miss Preslie Kait!!
