GENDER REVEAL FAQs

Questions?

Imagine blindfolding your partner, then covering them head-to-toe in vibrant pink or blue paint to reveal your unborn child’s gender. The suspense builds as the final touches are made, and when the blindfold comes off – surprise! We capture that priceless reaction in a fun, unforgettable photo shoot. It’s a playful and creative way to share the big news, turning an ordinary moment into a splashy celebration. So get ready for some laughter, a bit of mess, and a whole lot of joy as you unveil your baby's gender in the most artistic way possible!

Why settle for a simple gender reveal when you can turn it into a colorful masterpiece?

When should I book my Gender Reveal?

Many parents book gender reveals as their pregnancy announcement. You may do it as early as you like, but we recommend waiting until 2nd trimester. 

Professional hair and makeup is nice, but I will not be requiring it. Can I pay a lower creative fee?

Unfortunately, we do not have special pricing that does not include hair and makeup as part of our full experience. However, we can offer you a $100 print credit towards the collection you build.

How do we inform you of the baby's gender without knowing first?

We ask that you have your caregiver who determined the baby's sex to write the information on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope. Bring the envelope with you on the day of your shoot and let us read it for you. We will give you the appropriate color or colors (if it's twins!!)

What should I budget for photography?

Create-A-Collection begins at $1650 and digital-only collections begin at $1350. Building your own collection has its benefits because you buy only what you love! Depending on your choices, you should budget anywhere from 2-6K for a complete collection with an album and digital files.

I just want digital files and don't need any prints. Can I just buy that?

Yes, you may choose a digital only collection rather than Create-A-Collection. You will make your selections and purchase only the ones you love. Begins at $1350.

What do I wear? Will my clothing be ruined?

Yes. This paint will not wash out well and will stain. We suggest wearing something with the intent of not ever wearing it again. Purchase outfits for both yourself and partner in white - such as leggings, loungewear, t-shirts.. We also recommend bringing a change of clothes to change into after your shoot.

Do you provide a video of the experience?

Yes! We believe this is an exciting part of your pregnancy and your reaction deserves to be documented. We offer a complimentary video for social media.

How it works

If you are booking in advance, this allows you to secure a day in my calendar when you are between 28-34 weeks" or 1-2 weeks within your due date. No products or digital files are included in the creative fee. The creative fee covers the planning and preparation for your shoot, professional hair and makeup and the time it takes to shoot. There are 2 options for obtaining prints and digital files; Create-A-Collection OR Digital only.
