03/04/2017 - Sarah and Nichole - Gender Reveal

Every so often, we have clients contact us that are friends. In the case of Sarah and Nichole, we could not be more excited that they are expecting! They messaged us on Facebook and asked if we could do a gender reveal session, as they were going to find out the gender of their baby soon. 

Sarah had advised they were not really 'park' people, which gave us the space to find an alternative spot to shoot. We chose a spot down by the graffiti wall in St. Louis, and decided to meet the weekend after they found out the gender of their baby. It was exciting to find out they were having a girl!

Since we had never done a gender reveal session, Johna and I started talking about ideas of fun things we could do. We settled on balloons, after confirming that neither Sarah or Nichole had a phobia, and decided to do something a little playful, as you can see below.

There were a few things I would have changed about this session. On of them was, if there is a next time, being sure to buy enough ribbon for all of the balloons, haha. However, we were super happy with how everything turned out!

The shots above were set up with one strobe, in a 22" white beauty dish, high and camera right. Then another strobe, bare, slightly behind the couple and camera left. Each were set at, I believe, 1/4 power. Next time, I would probably CTO the beauty dish strobe, to warm up the shots.
