A lot can happen in a year. Last summer I photographed their surprise proposal, then in January I photographed their destination wedding, and now I’m sharing their gender reveal!

Chesni’s friend Tiffany gathered a small group of family and friends at Tin Cups Caddyshack in Galveston for a Sundae Funday themed gender reveal. Everyone was asked to wear either pink or blue based on what they thought the gender would be. Party goers loaded up on ice cream and sherbet at the build your own sundae bar. It was complete with every topping you could imagine including chocolate sauce, nuts, fruit, tons of different candies and mini oreos! Once the sugar highs set in, we were all ready for the big surprise!

At sunset we gathered everyone outside on the deck to get ready for the reveal which was unveiled via smoke bombs. We blindfolded Chesni and Travis while the smoke bombs were lit. They were palpably excited and nervous and I can only imagine all the emotions they were feeling. Once the smoke started spreading, everyone started cheering as they pulled off their blindfolds. As you can see, Chesni could barely contain herself! She was jumping up and down so fast…my favorite photo looks a little shaky (you’ll see it below) but you can see the pure, unadulterated joy in her face as her hair flies up on the air! Love it so much!

This was only my second gender reveal shoot, but I think I might be getting a little obsessed. Really I just love any reason to celebrate!
