We'll be posting our latest Engagement Session real soon so keep an eye out for it this week.  Now on to today's HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT/POST... Last Monday we went to our 21 Week doctors appointment and got a chance to see our baby once again =)  Remember our last post?  Well that was only about five weeks in and now we're 18 weeks in!!  Remember this same shot in the first post?!  Notice how her belly is more of a "belly" now than before... So the baby is definitely bigger, no longer our little Gummy Bear...even big enough to where Lauren, as she puts it, feels it "punch her belly" =)  If you're ever around her enough you might catch her saying "Aw, come on dude, chill out!".  That's her telling our baby to relax =) hahah Can you distinguish the shape of the baby on the monitor?  That's its head to the right... So to the heart of the matter.  As I assumed from the start, with all "signs" pointed to this happening, here's the answer to our family's "gender battle" as well as our new family photo! =) WE'RE HAVING A BABY GIRL! =D  And if you look closely, I'm a little taller than Lauren in the image hahah. So now that you know what we're having...Time for our first ever John Lauren Photography Contest! woohoo! Ever since we found out we were having a baby we have shot blanks when it comes to baby names.  That's where you come in! From now until December 1st, we'll be accepting entries for our "Great Names Derive from Great Inspiration" contest.  Our only rule is in order to submit a name, you need to also submit a photo of what inspired you to come up with that name along with a brief explanation.  Easy enough right?!  We're so excited to hear what you come up with! Because this is such a big deal for us, if your entry gets picked, you, as the winner, will receive a GC of $100 to a restaurant later TBD. Submit your entries to contest@johnlauren.com and remember, you have all the way till Dec 1st! We can't wait to hear what everyone comes up with!  Oh and feel free to use our blog posts as inspiration too...hopefully by now there's enough about us in here that it'll trigger some ideas! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you're curious to see what type of photography we do, click here! or If you have any questions you'd like to ask, you can email us at weddings@johnlauren.com
