Tip 1: Pick a photographer that can work with a short timeline, especially if you want to surprise grandparents-to-be with a print. Keep in mind the time it will take your photographer to edit the photos and get the proofs to you, as well as the time it takes for ordering and shipping the prints. Josh and Sarah are ordering prints and two-day mailing them to family who live out of state so that all the packages arrive on the same day.
Tip 2: Ask if the photographer will do a "mini-session" rather than a full-priced session. Many parents-to-be want photos of a pregnant belly, but reveal photos are usually taken well before the momma starts to show. Thus, a good solution is to pick a mini-session for the reveal and a full session for a time in the last trimester.
Tip 3: Choose a personal way to reveal. Think about something unusual about you as a couple that could offer a clue that a pregnancy is brewing. Remember that you are telling the story through visuals. And it should be specific and personal to you. Josh and Sarah are avid scuba divers and decided on mini flippers as their visual clue.
Tip 4: If you don't have a good way to reveal, touch base with your photographer. They may have a few great ideas in their back pocket.
Tip 5: Think about the tone of your reveal. Would you like a sophisticated reveal, a sweet reveal, or a humorous reveal?
Tip 6: Ask your photographer if they offer pregnancy reveal announcements. Many photographers enjoy a little graphic design on the side.
