Baby Showers & Gender Reveals in Staten Island: 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.

Staten Island is one of the biggest cities in New York, home to roughly 469,000 people. We cover baby shower or gender reveal events at event and banquet venues across the area, from Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden, Historic Richmond Town and The Vanderbilt at South Beach to private homes, restaurants and community halls.

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