A maternity session never fails to delight us, especially when we get to work with couples like Iris and her husband. They were relaxed, lovable, and totally excited about the coming of their little one. I mean, who wouldn’t be!
Speaking of which, did you know that fetus is the Latin word for “little one”? How adorable!
A maternity photoshoot is always exciting and special when you’re a new mother. If it’s your second child, the photoshoot could turn into a family session! For Sebastian and Yan, this maternity-family shoot was for their fourth child! Still as special, even more so because she says it will be their last.
We went to their home for this one and it was beautiful! Yan clearly has an eye for home styling. There were so many beautiful corners to photograph with! It was easy to photographer her and her husband. She’s a go-getter while he’s calm and a little more introverted. They make a good team, which is great because they work together professionally too.
Their three other kids, Isaac, Sophie, and Lucas joined us for the shoot as well. The coming of a fourth child will be a big change for Lucas as he will soon learn to be an older brother too. It’s a whole family affair!
What do you get when you have a pregnant dancer and an enthusiastic partner? These gorgeous maternity shots of course! Jacques and Pei Shing were expecting their first child together – the youngest of siblings from this beautiful blended family. This photoshoot, like so many others, was special in its own way. For them, this marriage they now have together was like a second chance after going through many challenging life lessons from the past.
It was Jacques’ idea to have the photoshoot, and to be included in it as well. More photos below!
University group mates turned lovers, Ewe Jin and Ming Lee first met in Melbourne back in 2009. Five years later the got together upon discovering that they are truly soulmates! In Ming Lees’s own words, “He’s my husband, my best friend, my everything.”
So on a beautiful spring day in October 2015, Ewe Jin got down on one knee and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. The were registered as husband and wife in February 2016, and had the ceremony in 2017. Every year since, they would celebrate their anniversary with a photoshoot. This particular one was extra special because not only were they celebrating four years of marriage, but they now had another little family member on the way!
Ming Lee told us how excited they were about sharing this journey together and we could see that! The couple brought along handwritten notebooks filled with love letters to each other that have been collected over the years even through marriage. It’s wonderful to see couples grow more in love with each other than ever before as the years pass.
How cute is this before and after photoshoot? Danny, Jennifer and Wyatt came to our studio for the maternity shoot and brought a few props. A month later, Prue was born! We headed to their home so that it would be comfortable for mom and baby. Prue’s grandparents joined in too! More photos below.
