BEAUTIFUL ANTICIPATION

A BELLY-ONLY SESSION

Sometimes, all you need may be a maternity session to capture your journey into parenthood. Our standalone Beautiful Anticipation session is a maternity-only session meant for mummies and daddies who won’t be giving birth in George Town, mummies and babies who won’t be able to leave the house after birth, or those who simply haven’t decided on whether they need a newborn session just yet.

Beginning of a journey

Maternity sessions are a wonderful means for expectant couples to capture all the enjoyment and anticipation you’ll feel throughout pregnancy. As your body goes through several changes, expectant moms are noted to possess a “pregnancy glow”, whereas expectant dads have the tendency to smile a lot.

The simplest time to schedule your session is around 28-32 weeks once the belly is good and round. this can vary with every woman– and a few ladies who carry small, or gain little or no weight may like better to wait till 33-35 weeks.

Your Session

Our sessions are done in our boutique lifestyle studio using all natural light. Should you want it to be done at your place, please ensure your home is adequately lit by natural light. Our shoots will typically take place early in the morning, to make the most of the neutral color temperature of early morning sunlight. We usually conduct the session between 10:30am to 12:00pm. These sessions are done over weekends.

Styling your session

planning before your session

We will plan your session to ensure our expectations for its overall look and feel are perfectly aligned. By understanding what’s important to you, we will then style your session with our signature rustic aesthetic while incorporating personal elements that are meaningful to you.

From choosing a colour palette for your session—which includes your own outfit (and lingerie) or dresses and robes from our Studio Wardrobe Collection—to books you’re currently reading or even your favourite flowers!

We will have a 15-minute consult over the phone to plan our session and to run through the questionniare you will receive once your booking has been confirmed.

After Your Session

  • Images take two (2) weeks to process for the first viewing. You will receive a password-protected online preview gallery where you can view the photographs from our session. We typically process about 10% to 15% of the images achieved during a session.
  • You will be given two (2) weeks to select your favorite photographs.
  • Final images are in full resolution, canvas-ready and will be available for download minimum of four (4) weeks after you have selected your photographs from your online gallery.
  • All final images will have been individually hand-edited by us, and are never outsourced, to ensure that they meet our highest artistic and consistency standards. This may result in occasional delays depending on our workload, but this is because each and every image is created entirely by us, from our camera to your final gallery.
