I was really looking forward to meeting up with my new clients, Blake and Mark, for their pregnancy announcement/gender reveal photos! Before I share some of their images and details from their shoot, I would like to thank them for their permission to do so! You see, Blake had mentioned the pictures would be extra special for them because they had suffered a devastating miscarriage previously. They are so thrilled to be expecting their little rainbow baby (a child conceived following the loss of a baby) and I’m thrilled they picked Coco Alley to document this time in their life! On the evening of their session, they rolled up with huge warm smiles and 5 giant pink balloons in tow! It was a fun development for sure and added a great element to the shoot.
This sweet couple is so awesome together and an absolute delight to be around! Their excitement was infectious and the 3 of us shared some laughs, soaked up the sunset and got to know each other while we flew through our time with ease. As we were nearing the end of the session, Mark asked what the heck they should do with the balloons since we were done with them. “Should we just let them go?” Taking the comment as a sign, a short pow wow ensued. With strong smiles stretched across their faces, a spontaneous decision to release the balloons in memory was made. The pink bubbles sailed off into the sunset and upwards toward the heavens as a tribute to their sweet angel baby and the precious rainbow she led them to.
