Gender Reveal Portrait Session in Disney World Magic Kingdom


Pin It

Over Christmas I had the pleasure of photographing my second gender reveal session in THE most magical place on earth... Disney world! Mom and Dad already knew what baby's gender was but wanted to share the exciting news with their son and daughter in a special. It was a project and a half getting our crew up and adam super early only to discover the balloons we needed were not available at 7am as we had hoped but with some help from the excellent cast of Disney we were able to pull a few strings and set up right in front of Cinderella's castle. It was well worth the wait! Congratulations Sophia, Ricky, Ethyan and Zara on the upcoming arrival of...
















... a baby girl!

  3. Hi, we are going to be doing a gender reveal in magic kingdom next week. I wanted to do the whole open the box and either pink or blue balloons pop out. How did you set it up? Did you speak to someone before hand? And how did you manage to get so close to the castle without anyone rise in your pictures??

  4. How exciting! You will have so much fun! Are you the photog or the mommy to be? For the balloons we talked to guest services. One thing though that they forgot to tell us when we inquired the night before was that the balloon carts do not typically come out until 10 or so. This was a challenge for us as we specifically arrived at 7 when the park opened to get the lighting we wanted. Just be sure to plan ahead and be specific about your times when you ask them and maybe even try to get them packaged the night before. As for the background, they happened to have the castle roped off for a show that was starting soon and we asked for permission to have the kiddos stand just behind it. The cast member asked a manager for us and gave us the okay but we had to hurry. Good luck! I would love to get to see if you can send me a link! My email is melody@snookysmiles.com
