Gender Reveal Party Photographer | Abilene, TX | Phelps Twins Gender Reveal

Gender reveal parties are so exciting to me! I love any excuse to get together with friends and family for a cookout. For me, pregnancy was such a magical time. I was blessed not to have sickness or any complications, so I was a very happy pregnant lady. I loved the little growth milestones and feeling the baby move and dreaming of all the possibilities of what the baby might be doing, what he/she might look like, what to name him/her... such a magical and creative time.

Something seems to solidify once you know the gender, though. We intended to go the entire pregnancy without knowing the gender for our first two kids (I figured I might need a little more motivation to finish labor), plus I liked the idea of the old-fashioned surprise. But with #3, we felt we needed to know in advance to prepare our home and our two older kids. After all, with one wanting a sister and the other wanting a brother, someone was going to be disappointed. I loved finding out about our baby being a girl during our 4D sonogram in the family room at Stork Vision with our children there next to us. It was a special time, and it definitely marked how I thought throughout the remainder of the pregnancy (no more "it", but rather "she").

Tara & Tony Phelps had a Thing 1, Thing 2 Twin Gender Reveal Crawfish Boil. With 3 daughters and 1 son, they eagerly bit into their gender reveal cupcakes to see what gender each of the twins were.

Tara and Tony each bit into a cupcake to reveal the color of the filling indicating the baby's gender, then they showed one another the color of their own cupcake (one had Twin A and the other had Twin B). Once they knew the gender, they let siblings Tyler & Ali release the balloons from the box to reveal the gender to their family and friends... All blue would be both boys, Blue and Pink would be one of each, and All pink would be both girls....

And although Tyler looked and looked for where the blue balloons might be, they were ALL PINK! Congratulations to Tara & Tony! Carleigh and Caleigh arrived in July 2012.
