Jessica’s Maternity Session & Baby Shower!

On 9/1, we met up with Jessica for her maternity session at her home in Terre Haute! We’ve been photographing her and her family for almost a decade now, so it was super special when she told us that she was pregnant and wanting to book her maternity shoot with us. She also scheduled her baby shower the same day so that we could photograph that during the trip down there as well! 🙂 She looked so cute in her maternity outfits and her nursery for Ramsey is ADORABLE! Before her session, she mentioned that she’s been keeping a journal throughout the entire pregnancy process so that Ramsey would have an account of his journey from the very beginning and see just how much she & Chris love him already. I thought that was the cutest thing ever! Jessica also made these adorable treat bags to hand out to all of the nurses that she encounters during her hospital stay. What a thoughtful idea!!

After we finished taking pics at their home, we drove to St. Mary-of-the-Woods (my alma mater!) 🙂 to take some outdoor pics of her in her party dress, then it was time for the baby shower!! Her mom, sisters and friends set up the formal parlor in Le Fer and turned it into an adorable blue & orange owl-themed party! They made carmel apples for the favors, had adorable cupcakes with cute cupcake toppers (Jessica even made the cupcake stand herself!) and they rented a photo booth that included baby boy props and an owl curtain background. It was so cute!! Everyone had a great time and it was good to see all of her friends and family again! Can’t wait to meet Baby Ramsey soon! 🙂
