I just love these two! I have known Lauren since she was a child (I am reeeeealllly aging myself here, haha) and she has officially been family ever since I married her cousin Jason. :-) She is also a super talented hair stylist, and before we moved to Kiowa, I would pop over to her house while my girls were in school and she would fix my hair. One morning in November, I showed up on her doorstop and I was terrified that I was going to throw up during my haircut, so I told her my news: I was pregnant! She smiled and told me that SHE WAS PREGNANT TOO! Our due dates were only a few days apart, and we soon found out that we were both expecting boys. It was so fun to go through my pregnancy with someone her, and I was SO happy to be able to photograph their pregnancy announcement!

We chose Casey Jones Park in Elizabeth, Colorado for their session because it has gorgeous pine trees as a backdrop. It was a freezing cold and snowy December day, but luckily we were both pregnant and hot so it didn't matter, haha.

Lauren planned the adorable tricycle and bike props as part of their reveal, and we all loved the way that it turned out! She printed one of these photos out and used it on their Christmas card to announce their pregnancy, and it was so sweet and special!

Our boys were born a couple of weeks apart over the summer, so I didn't have a chance to photograph sweet Maverick when he was born. Now I will have to wait for baby #2 to be born (whenever that may be) so I can photograph him or her. ;-) Until then, enjoy a few of these pregnancy announcement photos!
