Mum-to-be surprises husband with big news in joy-filled photoshoot

When Bri Dow learnt that she was expecting, she immediately knew she wanted to break the news to her husband Brandon in a special way.

So she enlisted the help of her wedding photographer, Samantha Boos, to create something truly memorable.

Bri told Brandon they'd won a free couples photo shoot, and the couple duly turned up for the event.

Boos then gave them both a chalkboard, told them to stand back-to-back, and told them to write three words that describe each other.

Brandon got to work – but Bri had a surprise up her sleeve.

The resulting photos show pure emotions: shock, love, and true joy. (Click through the galley above to see all the photos.)

Boos told the Huffington Post that she was happy to see so many joy-filled responses to the photos online. 

"I hope people see love, and how much love two people can have for each other and the future," she said.

"So much in the media right now is negative – it's always nice to see something positive."

Baby Dow will join the family in February – and we're sure the family will celebrate with even more wonderful photos.
