Scott + Jonya (Southern Illinois Photographer)

Now that it's Facebook official, I can share this session from a couple months ago.  Jonya contacted me about doing a surprise maternity reveal for her husband, Scott.  This was such a fun session, and I truly do feel honored to have been asked to be a part of it (and be the first to know about Baby Lockart!).  Here are some highlights from their session!  

On the day of the session, it was a cold winter day.  Scott had just been told she wanted some family pictures of the two of them so he didn't question it.  ​ We started by just taking some pictures of the two of them together.  They turned out so sweet!

For the reveal, Jonya had been doing a little research online and had found this adorable idea!  She just had to get me the stuff so Scott wouldn't suspect anything.  She asked her mom (who also didn't know yet) to drop off some chalkboards at school for me to bring to the session.  After a few couples pictures, I told them I had an idea I had found on Pinterest that I wanted to try and they were going to be my guiena pigs.  I told them they were to each take a chalkboard and write three words that described the other.  They sat back to back and wrote this down.

Here's what they wrote - soooo  sweet! :)

I told them to turn around and show the other what they had wrote.  Surprise!! :)

So excited!! :)

Baby Lockart - Coming August 2017!  Congratulations Scott & Jonya!!  :)
