<\/a><\/p>\nThis particular day was a balmy 18 degrees with a hint of wind to take the feeling out of your cheeks. For the second time in my life I wore snow pants to a photo session (the first time was for this winter session<\/a>, interestingly that family ended up moving to a warmer climate!). \u00a0If you don’t live in the tundra – snow pants are like coats for your legs and very useful for situations such as these.<\/p>\n Braden works in heavy equipment rentals and I’m guessing spends a fair amount of time outside, and Amber brought along a personal space heater in the form of a baby-in-utero.<\/p>\n Amber is a pharmacist and works with Tracy<\/a>, Betsy<\/a> and Jaime<\/a>. Interestingly, she came across my website first and\u00a0then saw their photos. \u00a0Usually it’s the other way around!<\/p>\n When I started asking Braden if anyone can dig a hole in their backyard with heavy machinery like my pillow fighting plumber friend (blog post to come!), he said yes and he happened to know him too. \u00a0I learned that plumbers typically own and rent heavy equipment. \u00a0Who knew? \u00a0He said it was for any outside work and my mind was expanded. \u00a0The thought that plumbers work outside\u00a0was new to me.<\/p>\n Do they know the gender of the baby? They do not! It will be a surprise, so stay tuned. A friend of mine says it’s one of life’s few great surprises. I’m looking forward to finding out – and to hear the name they’ve picked out (it’s secret for now, and maybe not quite decided).<\/p>\n For their session they chose Shetler Tree Farm<\/a>, a beautiful Christmas tree farm in Brockport that is owned by a friend of theirs.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
