~ We’re Having A Baby – Page 12 – Anna Gonda Photography

I just adore Jackie and Averell. I can’t say enough about what genuine, funloving, people they are! For as long as I’ve known them, they never seem to allow stress or worry to invade their lives. They’re just so calm all the time, which is what I expect their little girl to be.

Jackie is due in about a month (around New Year’s!), and the two have spent the last few months preparing for Baby Elle’s arrival. Her cute, tiny little clothes are all hanging in her closet already, organized by size of course. She’s got a drawer full of headbands and shoes. A painting of a giraffe, by dad himself, is hanging on her bedroom wall and a homemade mobile with individually sewn birdies is in the works.

Jackie and Averell – you are going to make such WONDERFUL parents! Thank you for allowing me to document such important moments in your life together! Can’t wait to meet Elle!

When I asked them how they met, they looked at each other and laughed.

“Do you really wanna know the whole story?” Andrea asked. I really did!

Long story short, she said, they’ve known each other since junior high.

Honestly, that’s all I needed to know. It doesn’t take a psychic to see there’s a whole lot of history between Andrea and Bo. The way they look at each other, the comfort and calm they seem to radiate in each other’s presence – it’s the makings of a deep and loving romance, wrapped in the blanket of friendship. That’s just the best kind of love, isn’t it?

Wedding plans are on the horizon, but with a little boy on the way, Andrea and Bo are holding off for a bit. Regardless, it was as great a time as any to take photos to just reflect their love, wedding date set or not.
