Gender Reveal Photoshoot


Dreams do come true, pink or blue?

Hi there! I’m Charlotte, a photographer with a passion for capturing life’s most memorable moments. I’ve been living in Dubai for six years, after spending the previous four photographing weddings in Europe. Now that I’m back in Dubai, I’ve discovered a new love for gender reveal photoshoots – a perfect way to celebrate the joyful anticipation of welcoming a new little one into the world. Whether it’s your first gender reveal or a tradition you’re adding to with each child, a photoshoot is a wonderful way to mark this exciting moment and create memories you’ll cherish forever.

The journey to finding out your baby’s gender is filled with excitement, wonder, and sometimes a few nerves! It’s a special time for both parents, and capturing it through a gender reveal photoshoot allows you to preserve the surprise, joy, and celebration of the day. Whether you choose to reveal with colored smoke, confetti, or a simple announcement, these moments will become part of a beautiful family story.

In Dubai, with its stunning beaches, neverending dunes, and year-round sunshine, we have endless opportunities to create extraordinary gender reveal photos. At Shots by Charlotte, we specialize in gender reveal sessions that capture the emotions and excitement of this unique time, and we’d be thrilled to help you create unforgettable memories as you reveal your baby’s gender to the world.

Why a Gender Reveal Photoshoot Is So Special

A gender reveal photoshoot is a memorable way to celebrate and share the happiness of expecting a new family member. The thrill of sharing the news and the happiness radiating from both parents-to-be create a lasting impression that shines through each photo. With Dubai’s stunning views as the backdrop, your photos will be filled with a timeless beauty, capturing the energy and joy of this incredible moment.

These images will also be cherished not only by you and your partner but also by your child in the years to come, showing them how much they were celebrated even before they were born. Many families include siblings or close family members to make the shoot even more meaningful, surrounding the new baby with love from the very beginning. With breathtaking locations, your gender reveal photos will showcase this special announcement in a way that’s as unforgettable as it is heartfelt.

When Is the Best Time for a Gender Reveal Photoshoot?

A gender reveal photoshoot can happen anytime you choose, whether you’re newly expecting at five weeks or a few months into your pregnancy. There’s no “right” time to reveal your baby’s gender—just the moment that feels perfect for you. Some couples want to announce early on, sharing the news as soon as they know, while others may wait a few months, especially if they want to tie the reveal into a family gathering or special event. And if you find yourself a bit further along and still wanting to celebrate with a reveal, it’s never too late to capture that excitement with beautiful, timeless photos.

For the best photos and experience, we recommend scheduling your gender reveal session in the early morning. During sunrise, temperatures are cool, and you’ll have the desert or beach all to yourself, allowing for a calm and private atmosphere perfect for these special shots. Plus, the soft, golden light of sunrise adds a beautiful warmth to the photos, highlighting the landscape and creating a unique glow that complements your reveal moment in a way that sunset light simply can’t match in Dubai.

How to Prepare for Your Gender Reveal Photoshoot

Planning a gender reveal photoshoot is all about capturing that thrilling moment in a unique and memorable way. Here are some tips to help you prepare:

  • Add a Touch of Fun with Props: Bringing props can make your gender reveal photoshoot even more exciting. Popular choices include “mom and dad” hats, balloons rising from a box, or powder canons (note that smoke canons aren’t allowed in Dubai). We also avoid confetti at the beach or in the desert to protect the environment. For an extra memorable experience, we recommend our balloon box reveal. This setup creates a stunning visual as balloons rise from a box to announce your baby’s gender. To keep it a surprise, we can handle everything from sourcing to setup and supply the balloons for 300 AED.
  • Wardrobe Choices: Choose outfits that are comfortable and make you feel confident. For those expecting, flowing dresses or fitted tops highlight your baby bump beautifully, while family members can wear coordinated colors with a beachy vibe for that Dubai feel. This makes your reveal photos both relaxed and stylish.
  • Stunning Dubai Locations: Dubai’s landscapes provide an unforgettable backdrop for your reveal, especially early in the morning when the light is soft, the temperatures are cooler, and the surroundings are peaceful. Whether at the beach or in the dunes, sunrise creates a magical setting for your reveal moment. If you’re unsure of where to go, we’re here to help you choose a location that matches your style.
  • Professional Hair and Makeup: A simple touch-up or full styling can make a big difference, enhancing your natural look for photos. We recommend opting for a professional hair and makeup session to add a little extra glow.
  • Relax and Enjoy the Moment: Our goal is to create a relaxed, fun experience for you. Let us handle all the details, from the location setup to timing the reveal, so you can be fully present for this special moment. We’ll capture every reaction and emotion, so you’ll have photos that feel as real and joyful as the day itself.

Fun Fact about Charlotte

My very first photoshoot took place in the stunning desert of Dubai, with golden sand dunes as the backdrop! I was still relatively new to the profession and wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but what an experience it was. Surrounded by the breathtaking landscape and the soft light of the setting sun, I found my passion and knew that this was what I wanted to do. That day, amidst the calm and beauty of nature, shaped me into the photographer I am today.
