Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristian McCoy and Flor Ventura.
Studio O’Baby is the product of one woman’s wish to see the face of her unborn child, and share it with her family and friends. Flor was 28 weeks pregnant, and her family buzzed with excitement in anticipation of the new baby; especially her three daughters, whose eyes grew round in amazement when they felt the baby kick against her belly. Flor had heard of developments in ultrasound technology that allowed one to see Baby’s face in 3D and capture their movements on video for adoring family to see. There were not, however, any resources for 3D/4D ultrasound on the North Shore of Boston.
Flor met her business partner Kristian McCoy 19 years ago, where she worked as a clinical assistant. In 2012, she joined his practice as office manager. Flor’s dream found life with Kristian’s business experience and resources… and Studios O’Baby was born!
Flor knew that having such a special moment in a sterile and impersonal setting didn’t fit what she was trying to bring to other expectant mothers and their families. Flor used her own personal needs and taste to build a loving atmosphere where mothers and families can see Baby’s face for the first time. Flor and Kristian understand that 3D/4D ultrasound is more than just a photograph – it’s the first page in your baby’s life story, and the beginning of your family’s happily ever after.
Has it been a smooth road?
Flor and I have found that our greatest challenge is getting our message out into the communities of the North Shore area. Marketing directly to expectant mothers has been more difficult than we had originally anticipated. We find that each month we are a little bit busier than the last with more satisfied mothers.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Studios O’Baby story. Tell us more about the business.
We are the only 3-D/4D ultrasound studio north of Boston that also uses high definition equipment. Pregnant women between 20 and 32 weeks can see pictures and video of their child with so much more clarity and detail in comparison to the standard 2D ultrasound. Seeing your Baby’s face for the first time is such a special event! 3D ultrasound means still pictures that look nearly three-dimensional and 4D is video of your baby moving! We also offer gender checks of your baby over 16 weeks.
We provide an intimate and private setting for the family to enjoy seeing your baby for the first time. During your ultrasound the video and pictures are displayed on a large screen TV in front of you.
Because we are the only private facility in the North Shore area, expectant mothers no longer have to travel far to be able to see their baby. We believe that this sets us apart as well as our very affordable prices.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
Each year more women are interested in 3-D and 4D ultrasound to see their babies’ faces, hands and feet before they are born. As well ultrasound equipment continues to evolve with more complex imaging and detailed scans. It is our opinion at this industry will continue to grow in both quality of technology and experience of the sonographers performing these types of images.
