The recent significant increase in maternity shoots has made me reflect more on the meaning of motherhood.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have never considered shooting maternity until 2-3 years ago. I just wasn’t ready for it when I couldn’t understand the feelings of being a mother.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was not until when my close friends started getting pregnant - and as I journeyed with them emotionally through it, and witnessed them transform through pregnant months and being new mothers - that I truly came face to face with it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes it’s true that all portraits need to deliver aesthetic beauty. But what’s more to maternity photos (for me) is about capturing the strength and softness of surrendering.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The giving up of our old self and priorities (and our old body!), the letting go of certainty and control, and the anticipating of having our hearts stretched and expanded in often painful but rewarding ways.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This, I believe, is what every mother wishes to remember as they embark on their forever-changed lives.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their strength, their softness, their transformation - and all the beauty that arises from it.

🤰❤️ And there again, we are in the last trimester which means a few weeks/days to d-day, as today marks my #37weekspregnancy! #timeflies #imhavingababy!!
Nervously Counting down 🙃 as this waiting game starts now! When do you think we will meet our Baby E? Though its my 3rd time but it stills feels so strange.. 😳😳, not sure what to expect honestly. Wish me luck pls!
Special thanks to @suwen_newus our photographer from @bloomphotographysg the sister company of @ashleylowphotography for our awesome (my 1st ever studio horr) maternity & family shots! Photos are way beyond gorgeous, seriously cant wait to share more, thanks 谢谢!
And a shout out to my mua Tracy from @a2imakeup who made the mama 🦛 looked liked a goddess. Really, all I wanted was a natural look with curls to contrast my usual style. She made me looked way better than I expected and I truly appreciate the fuss free experience - no need to do it myself is really a relief to my aching backs & swollen limps etc.
So if you are looking for professional help for your own shoots, feel free to code my name to get the exclusive discounted rate of $180 with @a2imakeup for hair & makeup instead of their usual price of $220!
