I just came across this link-up tonight, at and then, she snapped, and couldn't resist the urge to show off a shot I took this week!
I did a photo shoot with my sister, Katie, and her family, while they wait for the arrival of the third child, currently called “OMeGa” (My money's on a another girl, but who knows?!?! Darn these Team Green people! LOL)
I'm really happy with how most of the shots came out, but I especially love this one!
thanks so much for showing off your shot. what a great family photo. but yeah, I don't "get" why people like to be surprised!
I love the style of your page, I’ll surely come back before long!
great photo of her and her family! I understand wanting to be surprised, even though I never was 😛
Our first's gender was a surprise. After that, my engineer husband said he had to know for planning and problem-solving purposes, not to mention his sanity. How could I argue?? Love the pure happiness you captured in this shot.
that picture is FULL of happy!!!! and I love it, look at all those smiles!
xo
great subjects and awesome photography skills. the lighting is beautiful in this!
Lizz's Sister, Katie, here.
We don't find out for a number of reasons.
1) Having my husband tell me that we have a daughter (so far…) instead of some random ultrasound tech is awesome.
2) When we "sign up" for a pregnancy, we don't get to choose the gender. God does that. Knowing at 20 weeks or 40 weeks doesn't change that fact, but Reason #1 makes it nicer to hear.
3) I'm a "planner", and really, babies need love, diapers, and boobie milk. I've got all of that and more. Planning Done.
4) My husband and I both like surprises and the gender of a child is the ONLY (I challenge you to come up with another one as happy as that one!) surprise two people in a couple can enjoy without the other having had a hand in it.
And thanks, Bib, for my pictures. I love them and love you even more.
