Baby Gender Reveal Video

by carly on March 17, 2012

About 4 months ago Carly and I saw a photographer/cinematographer create the most amazing video birth announcement. When a client approached us about doing a creative gender reveal, Carly had the idea of doing a video announcement. We searched YouTube, Vimeo, and Google and no one had done a video like we were envisioning. We wanted to tell a story of a family’s experience of discovering the gender of their new baby, and help them share this joy with their friends and family.

We filmed this from 12:30-2:30 and had it up on our Vimeo page at 5:00 that same day. The video went up on Facebook and within 24 hours, the video had 300 views, 50 comments and 11 reposts. People loved the experience of feeling like they were with their friends as they discovered their new babies gender.

Here are some of the comments:

Maternity portraits are a must have, especially when you’re expecting your first child.  So many of my clients tell me that they didn’t initially know how special their maternity photos would end up being, and that they’re so glad they had that part of their lives documented.  It’s something most people realize after their precious [...]

Maternity Photography Orange County

March 2, 2008 Maternity

Almost 5 years ago, I photographed Amy and Mike’s wedding at a gorgeous private estate in the hills of Orange.  Now they are expecting their first child- a baby girl!  Amy’s belly was nice and round, and she was the calmest pregant woman I’ve ever worked with.  This shoot was especially fun because Amy was [...]
