Baby Showers & Gender Reveals in San Jose: 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.

San Jose is one of the largest cities in North America, home to roughly 1 million people. Whether your baby shower or gender reveal is at Hayes Mansion, The Tech Interactive or a family home, your MacroSnaps crew arrives early to check light, angles and any venue rules.

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 San Jose 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 San Jose costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
