Gender Reveal & Baby Announcement Photography
BABY ANNOUNCEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY
Announce Your Baby to the World
Some families want to keep the gender a surprise. Others want to simply celebrate the exciting news that a little one is on the way.
At PhotoUncle, we specialize in **Baby Announcement Photography** — perfect for couples who want elegant, emotional, and creative photos to share with friends and family.
Whether you’re announcing your first pregnancy, sharing rainbow baby news, celebrating IVF success, surprising grandparents, or revealing your pregnancy to the world—we’ll help you create timeless announcement images you’ll treasure forever.
Perfect Timing for Baby Announcement Sessions:
Most families schedule their baby announcement photos between **10-16 weeks pregnancy**.
This gives you enough time to comfortably share the exciting news (after first trimester) while still capturing the early excitement of pregnancy before a visible bump.
GENDER REVEAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Find Out If It’s a Boy or Girl!
The moment you find out your baby’s gender is unforgettable. Pink or blue? Brother or sister? Prince or princess?
We’ll capture the anticipation, the reveal, and every reaction—from your first gasp to your partner’s happy tears to your family’s excitement.
Perfect Timing for Gender Reveal Sessions:
Most families schedule gender reveals between **16-22 weeks pregnancy**, right after the anatomy scan confirms the gender.
YOUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBERS ARE WELCOME TOO 🐾
Many couples include their dogs in pregnancy announcement and gender reveal sessions for adorable, meaningful photos.
Your pets are part of your family story. Whether it’s your dog wearing a “Big Brother” bandana, your cat photobombing your ultrasound reveal, or your pup holding a sign that says “Guard Dog Duty Starts Soon”—we LOVE including your furry friends.
We’re a pet-friendly studio. Bring your dog, cat, or any well-behaved pet to your session!

Gender Reveal & Baby Announcement PhotographyFrequently Asked Questions
1. When should I book my baby announcement or gender reveal session?
Baby Announcement: Book as soon as you’re ready to share your news, typically between 8-12 weeks pregnant. Sessions happen between 10-16 weeks.
Gender Reveal: Book as soon as you schedule your anatomy scan (usually 16-20 weeks). Gender reveal sessions happen within days or weeks of finding out the gender.
Both types book quickly, especially on weekends, so early booking ensures your preferred date!
2. Can I do both baby announcement AND gender reveal?
Absolutely! Many families book both:
- Baby Announcement (10-16 weeks): Reveal you’re pregnant
- Gender Reveal (16-22 weeks): Reveal the gender
We offer a bundle package (save 20%) for families who want to document both milestones.
3. Can you keep the gender a secret from us until the reveal?
Yes! We coordinate with your doctor (once you arrange the meetup/communication) to receive the results in a sealed envelope. We’ll plan the reveal setup without spoiling the surprise. You’ll find out the gender at the exact same moment as your guests—and we’ll capture your authentic reaction!
4. Can we bring our dog or cat to the session?
ABSOLUTELY! We LOVE including pets in baby announcements and gender reveals. Your furry family members are part of your story!
Popular pet setups:
- Dog with “Big Brother/Sister” bandana or sign
- Cat photobombing ultrasound reveal
- Pet holding letter board announcement
- Dog with pink/blue bow for gender reveal
We’re a pet-friendly studio. Well-behaved pets are always welcome!
5. What if we don't want to find out the gender?
Perfect! Many families skip the gender reveal and do a baby announcement session instead. You can announce your pregnancy without revealing the gender—keeping it a surprise until birth.
6. How long does each session take?
Baby Announcement: 1-1.5 hours (simpler setups, just couple or fewer people) Gender Reveal: 1.5-2 hours (includes pre-reveal, reveal moment, post-reveal celebrations)
We build in extra time so nothing feels rushed.
7. Do you provide announcement/reveal props and supplies?
Yes! We have balloons, confetti cannons, smoke bombs, letter boards, signs, frames, baby shoes, onesies, ultrasound frames, and props for pet announcements – on need basis, you need to give us heads up.
If you have specific items you want to include (heirloom baby shoes, special ultrasound photo, custom signs), bring them along!
8. Can family members and friends be included?
Absolutely! Baby announcements and gender reveals are meant to be shared.
Baby Announcements: Often just the couple (intimate), but grandparents/siblings welcome Gender Reveals: As many people as you want!
9. What's the best location for announcements/reveals?
We offer flexible location options including our professionally equipped San Jose studio, outdoor locations (parks, beaches, or scenic Bay Area spots), or the comfort of your own home.
10. When will I receive my photos?
Once your payment is completed, you’ll receive the first set of images the very next day for selection. You can then choose the photos you’d like us to edit through our online portal. Editing is a detailed, time-intensive process and typically takes a couple of weeks. As soon as the edits are complete, we’ll notify you, and you’ll be able to download all the original images along with the fully edited ones.
11. Can we share the photos right away on social media?
Yes! We’ll send you the shareable link within 24 hours specifically to share with friends and families and to take it to social media announcements.
12. What if weather is bad for our outdoor session?
We always have a weather backup plan:
- Move indoors to our studio or covered location
- Your deposit is fully transferable
- Reschedule to a new date
13. What if we're having twins or multiples?
Double (or triple!) the excitement! For gender reveals:
- Identical multiples: One big reveal
- Fraternal multiples: Sequential reveals (first baby = boy, second baby = girl!) or simultaneous (two balloons, two cakes)
14. Do you offer baby announcement + maternity bundles?
Yes! Many families bundle:
- Baby Announcement + Maternity (save 15%)
- Baby Announcement + Gender Reveal + Maternity (save 20%)
- Complete Pregnancy Journey: All sessions from announcement to newborn (save 25%)
15. What's included in the packages?
Our packages include all unedited photos plus selective professionally retouched images of your choice. High-resolution digital images are delivered in an elegant online gallery. Optional prints and albums are available.
