Baby Showers & Gender Reveals in Indianola: photography & video
Baby showers and gender reveals are short, busy gatherings where the most important moment can be over in a few seconds. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers cover the parents-to-be, the guests, the games and gift-opening, and, for a gender reveal, the moment itself, whether it's a cake cut, a balloon box, confetti or a smoke cannon outdoors. We also take time for relaxed portraits of the parents-to-be, so you have photos from this stage of the pregnancy.
Indianola is a community in Iowa, home to roughly 15,000 people. We cover baby shower or gender reveal events in banquet halls, hotels, places of worship, restaurants and private homes throughout Indianola and nearby Norwalk and Des Moines.
Since most showers last two or three hours, we plan coverage to fit the program: portraits of the parents-to-be early, while everyone is fresh, candid photos during games, and a clear view of gift-opening. For gender reveals, we agree on a position and a countdown in advance so both photo and video catch the color and the reactions at the same time.
For a typical baby shower or gender reveal, clients in Indianola book about 2 hours of photography ($350) and 2 hours of videography ($500). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so Indianola costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.

Planning tips
Planning your coverage in Indianola
Book the 2-hour minimum
Most showers and gender reveals are well covered in 2 hours. Book 3 if the shower includes a longer meal or a large guest list.
Plan the reveal for us
Tell us exactly when and where the reveal will happen and how it works. A short countdown gives the photographer and videographer time to be ready.
Choose good light
Outdoor reveals look best in open shade or late afternoon light. For indoor showers, set the gift-opening chair near a window.
Add video for the reveal
Reveals are over in seconds. Video captures the full reaction and sound, and a second videographer can film the guests while the first films the parents.
Professional photography doesn't have to be expensive
