Baby Liang Gender Reveal
My good friend and fellow photographer Masson Liang is expecting his first child with his wife Jessica. They are donut and dog enthusiasts, as well as generally wonderful human beings and I am so excited for this next chapter in their lives. To publicly announce the gender, they threw an intimate get-together at their home with family while live-streaming the reveal on Facebook for everyone to see. The Salty Donut made a custom set of donuts with color filling as a fun and edible way to deliver the news! Baby Asher Kai Liang will be a boy and is expected to arrive in November.
