Elise. Baby Bump.

I had the pleasure of photographing Elise and Dennis’ wedding a few years ago.  Now I get to watch them become parents.  <3

Woot!  A shout out to Blowdry Cafe for doing this beautiful hair and make-up.  Ladies, it’s totally worth the investment to get some pampering before your photo session!  Mention Crystal Jo Foto at check-out for some savings on your services.

The baby shower theme was books.  All of the guests brought books and wrote a message to the baby.  How cute is that?!

A future reader in that bump.  Readers make leaders.

And where the sidewalk ends, you will find these two lovebirds with a bundle on the way.

I know you will rock it out, Elise!  I’ll see you real soon at the hospital.  XO!

Some fun facts about this adorable couple..

How did you find out you were expecting?
We were planning the baby for around the time Elise finished graduate school, and the timing was perfect! Nothing special about the way we found out, but we couldn’t be more excited!

What’s your favorite thing about being pregnant? Least favorite?
My favorite part of being pregnant is definitely feeling him move. It’s so much fun to feeling him kicking around! Least favorite has probably been the reflux… and feeling so huge in the last few weeks! It has been fun, but I’m ready for it to be over so we can meet our baby.

Did you find out your baby’s gender?
Yes we did, we are planners and the stress of not knowing was too much!

Is there a nursery or shower theme you’d like to share?
We tried to keep the nursery neutral, but it’s all about books! The shower was book-themed, so everyone brought a favorite book for the baby and wrote a note on the inside. It’s so special to have so many books that mean so much! We can’t wait to read them to him.

A baby is coming! What are you looking forward to the most?
We are looking forward to meeting him! We are excited for everything!

How did you find Crystal Jo?
Crystal Jo did our wedding photography 4 years ago. We are excited to have her capture this next chapter in our lives!
