a childhood friend + her partner announced to us all on boxing day that they were expecting a baby. through tears, cries, clapping + giddy excitement we hugged congratulating them - it was indeed a miracle! my friend had been told that she may not be able to have children due to a chronic illness, but despite that, they were a few months in + we were all deliriously happy for them.
and so the preparations began...
baby shower :: save the date
the ironic thing with this photo, is that they had decided to dress up as juno + bleeker the halloween the year before (even before they were together). this is the money shot. given their love for films + pop culture, the juno poster was perfect for the save the date. there are a lot of personal inside jokes throughout, but that's what makes it even more special!
baby shower :: the invite
having had something a bit more 'decent' requested for the invite, i happily used photos from a photoshoot taken by laku @ lovetruelight. the first one was a bit of fun, going for a diesel look or should i say chisel - for welcomed miracles. the second is what we went for - something very clean with strong imagery.
thank you e-card
lots of pink, balloons, ribbons + baby bottles adorned the baby shower venue. even the mother-to-be was wrapped up! there were lots of gifts, love + cupcakes. success!
finally :: the baby announcement
for the past nine months she had been affectionately known as "baby c" + now she had finally arrived! receiving messages throughout the night, we rushed up in the morning before work when she had popped out. hello little cwensuela danielle chan :) we've been preparing for your arrival, and you're most welcome into our lives. yay!
