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.
What would your before-after maternity and newborn family photoshoot look like? :) If you’re interested, here are our secrets to getting beautiful maternity photos.
Kelvin and Shirley’s maternity portrait session had a lot of personality in it. Coming from a creative background, Kelvin had a few of his own ideas to contribute and they were naturally quite different from the usual. We had a great time experimenting with different poses, outfits, and furniture. Also love the soft 10am light that streamed through our studio windows that beautiful morning. Gorgeous and natural.

It all began when Amy contacted us for her maternity shoot. We soon found out it involved not just one mummy, daddy, and toddler as well… but eight people in total! Amy and her girl friends were about to have almost the same due dates and they wanted to capture this moment in photos together with their husbands and toddlers. What an experience for them, and for us too! They brought two sets of matching outfits, a few tiny props, and it became this uniquely wonderful “friends-maternity-family” photo shoot!
We love doing maternity portraits because it’s one of the most significant moments in the life of a couple and family. It also challenges our creativity. We get new opportunities to put their excitement into visual representation through photographs.
May and her husband Gentry spent an hour at our studio for this shoot. We had a couple of props and furnishings set up against different backdrops. They brought two little pairs of shoes and onesies to symbolise the twins they were expecting in December 2019. They also brought a few other accessories and the ultrasound scans too of course.
If you’re expecting soon, our founder Grace (who has two kids!) recommends scheduling your maternity portraits around 6-7 months into your pregnancy. You would probably have the most energy in your second trimester compared to the end of your third trimester. It’s the best time to look radiant and fresh in your photos too, much like how May does in hers. Scroll on to see how they “packaged” their Christmas gifts!
