Maternity Photography Services in Singapore

My maternity photography services are all about creating beautiful, meaningful portraits that celebrate the journey of pregnancy. I work with both private individuals and companies, producing everything from natural, candid shots to more high-end, polished portraits. Whether you prefer natural light or something more dramatic with flash, I've got the skills and equipment to bring your vision to life.

I specialise in bespoke photography, meaning every shoot is tailored to your unique preferences and ideas. We can work at any location you like—whether it's in the comfort of your home, outdoors or even at night, using professional lighting to create striking, creative images. My goal is always to deliver impactful and memorable work, capturing this special time in a way that's just right for you.

Studio Maternity Photoshoots

In my maternity portrait studio, I offer a comfortable and relaxed environment where you can feel at ease, with no distractions—just you, me and the camera (and possibly some snacks). The studio offers complete control over lighting and backgrounds, which is perfect for creating beautifully polished, high-end maternity portraits.

One major advantage of studio photography is consistency; we won't have to worry about the weather or unexpected visitors (unless you count my overly excited tripod). Whether you want something simple, elegant or more artistic, I can tailor the session to your preferences and we have all the gear on hand to make it happen.

Home Maternity Photoshoots

If you'd prefer the familiarity and warmth of your own home, I'm an expert in making interiors work in your favour. I've spent years mastering how to make even the most unexpected corner look Pinterest-worthy.

Home maternity shoots have a wonderful, personal feel and can include lifestyle photography—think candid moments of you preparing for your little one's arrival. Plus, there's nothing like having all your wardrobe options just steps away, in case you want to switch things up. And hey, if the lighting's a bit tricky in some rooms? Don't worry—I've got it covered, both literally and figuratively!

Indoor Maternity Photoshoots

For indoor maternity shoots, whether at your place, a hotel or any indoor venue, I use a combination of natural light, ambient lighting or my professional equipment to achieve the desired mood.

Do you want something soft and intimate? Natural light is our best friend. You're going for a bit of drama? Ambient light and some well-placed flashes can do the trick. I'm like a light whisperer, coaxing the perfect glow out of any space (and yes, I sometimes talk to my lights—don't judge me). Whether you're looking for a casual, lifestyle feel or something more elegant, indoor shoots give us endless possibilities to play with.

Outdoor Maternity Photoshoots

If you're more into the beauty of nature or the vibrant city vibe, outdoor maternity shoots are always a fantastic option. Parks, gardens, beaches, urban spots or iconic attractions around Singapore—I've shot at them all.

We'll take advantage of the natural light, but I also bring my professional lighting setup to ensure we're not relying on Singapore's unpredictable weather or the occasional overly curious pigeon. Want a soft, sunset glow or something bright and lively? We can do it all and we can even incorporate a gentle breeze for that perfect pregnancy goddess hair moment (though I can't promise to control the wind!).

Night Maternity Photoshoots

Looking for something unique? Night maternity photoshoots offer the chance to create dramatic, captivating images with a completely different vibe. Using my professional lighting setup, I'll blend ambient lights from the surroundings with soft flashes to create a stunning atmosphere.

Whether we're shooting under the city lights, at a beach with the moon in the background or even in your backyard with fairy lights, the photos will have that "wow" factor. And don't worry about it getting too dark—I bring enough light to ensure your baby bump is glowing, even if the sun has already checked out for the day.

About: Skai the Maternity Photographer

Hello, I'm Skai, a passionate professional maternity photographer based in vibrant Singapore. My photography journey is fuelled by my unwavering dedication to capturing the beauty and emotion of pregnancy through my lens.

I'm not just about snapping pictures; I'm all about creating meaningful, 3-dimensional portraits that tell your unique story. Whether it's a relaxed, heartfelt moment or a high-end, elegant shot, I'm here to transform your maternity photoshoot into an unforgettable experience.

My expertise extends to both natural light and flash photography, ensuring that we can craft the perfect lighting for your desired look. What's more, I specialise in on-location photoshoots, providing the flexibility to choose the backdrop that resonates with you, whether it's the comfort of your home or the beauty of the great outdoors.

Let's work together to create timeless memories that you'll cherish for a lifetime!

Skai's Vision & Goals in Maternity Photography

My vision and goals in maternity photography are deeply rooted in the recognition of the significance of mothers in the continuation of our human story. Mothers often make profound sacrifices, including their careers, changes in their body shape and the challenges they face during pregnancy and childbirth. These sacrifices are a testament to their strength and dedication in bringing new life into the world. Therefore, my primary goal is to document this joyful and transformative process, celebrating the incredible journey that mothers undertake.

I am fully aware that maternity photoshoots often involve revealing moments, depending on the client's preference. It's crucial to strike a balance between capturing the beauty of pregnancy and maintaining professionalism, taste and artistic expression. I understand the importance of creating images that are not only visually stunning but also respectful and free from negative feedback. Every maternity photoshoot is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many women and even men who want to be part of this beautiful journey. Thus, my goal is to ensure that these moments are preserved with the utmost care and artistic sensitivity.

Beyond traditional maternity photography, I aspire to embark on more creative maternity projects. These projects will push the boundaries of conventional photography, resulting in captivating and inspiring images that encourage more women to consider and cherish the idea of starting a family. By blending artistry with the celebration of motherhood, I hope to inspire and empower women on their unique journeys to motherhood, celebrating the beauty, strength and joy that come with it. My vision is to create a legacy of maternity photography that not only documents but also elevates the experience of motherhood, spreading positivity and inspiration to all who witness it.

How Skai Began Doing Maternity Photoshoots

My journey into maternity photography began unexpectedly, driven by a passion for creating captivating portrait work. It all started when a good friend's wife recognised my talent and dedication to photography. She approached me with the idea of capturing her maternity journey and I accepted the opportunity in my busy schedule.

With a deep commitment to giving my best, I embarked on this new photographic endeavour. Together with my friend's wife, we created a series of captivating and meaningful albums that beautifully documented her pregnancy, showcasing the joy and anticipation of this special time.

However, as my maternity photography gained attractions, a challenge arose. I didn't have a permanent studio space. This limitation meant that I had to decline requests from clients who preferred a studio photoshoot instead of capturing their maternity moments outdoors or in the comfort of their own homes.

I hold the belief that renting an external studio space may not always be the best choice for clients. Many studios come equipped with CCTV surveillance, which records the entire photoshoot process. This surveillance can be invasive and may not always capture flattering moments for the client. Therefore, I tend to favour outdoor or at-home photoshoots, where we can create a more relaxed and private atmosphere, ensuring that the focus remains on celebrating the beauty and significance of the maternity journey.

Why Skai Loves Doing Maternity Photoshoots

As a professional maternity photographer, I love capturing the beauty and joy of pregnancy through photographs. The creativity that comes with finding the perfect poses, lighting and compositions to create unique and beautiful images is something that I find extremely fulfilling.

Being able to capture the emotional and special time in a woman's life is truly rewarding. I love being able to give expecting families beautiful and timeless photographs that they can cherish forever. The bond that I form with my clients during the shoot is something that I cherish and it makes me feel connected to them and their journey.

From a technical perspective, maternity photography can be challenging but it's something that I find exciting. Finding ways to create flattering images while draping the mum-to-be's figure and experimenting with lighting and poses is something that I enjoy.

Overall, being a maternity photographer is a truly rewarding experience for me. I get to be creative, capture special emotions and moments, and build relationships. I couldn't be happier with my career choice.

How Doing Maternity Photography has Helped Skai Grow

Engaging in maternity photography has been a remarkable journey that has profoundly contributed to my growth as a photographer and as an individual. Here's how it has shaped and enriched my life:

Unique and Engaging Photography Genre: Maternity photography is a truly unique genre that injects a captivating dimension into my work. This uniqueness keeps the flame of my passion for photography burning brightly. Each maternity photoshoot is a story waiting to be told, a canvas where emotions, beauty and anticipation are intricately woven together. This uniqueness has breathed fresh life into my photography, making it a constant source of inspiration and creative energy.
Technical and Problem-Solving Skills: Maternity photography has not only honed my technical skills but also fostered a deeper sense of creativity and adaptability. During each photoshoot, I'm challenged to think on my feet, seeking innovative solutions to capture the best possible images. Whether it's dealing with varying lighting conditions or finding the perfect angle, every session pushes me to refine my technical abilities and keeps my creative instincts sharp.
Connecting Through Stories: One of the most rewarding aspects of maternity photography is the opportunity to connect with clients on a personal level. Through their stories, I've gained insights into the diverse experiences of motherhood, each narrative carrying its unique joys, challenges and dreams. These stories have enriched my life, expanding my understanding of the beautiful tapestry of human experiences. It's a privilege to be entrusted with these intimate moments and it reminds me of the power of storytelling through imagery.
Client Trust and Motivation: The trust bestowed upon me by my clients is a constant source of motivation. Knowing that clients choose me to be part of their journey, to capture moments that are deeply meaningful to them, fuels my dedication to photography. It's a humbling experience that reinforces my commitment to delivering the highest quality work and ensuring that each photoshoot is a memorable and cherished experience.

In essence, maternity photography has not only enhanced my technical and creative skills but also provided a window into the rich tapestry of human experiences. It has reignited my passion for photography, transformed the way I approach challenges and deepened my connection with clients. Through these experiences, I continue to grow as a photographer and as an individual, grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a beautiful and meaningful aspect of life.

Should I Hire a Professional Maternity Photographer?

Hiring a professional maternity photographer can be a wonderful decision but it ultimately depends on your preferences and priorities. Here are some factors to consider when deciding whether to hire a professional maternity photographer:

Quality of Images: Professional photographers have the expertise, equipment, and skills to capture high-quality and beautifully composed images. If you want stunning, well-crafted photographs that you can cherish for years to come, a professional photographer is a great choice.
Experience and Creativity: Professional maternity photographers often have experience in posing, lighting and creative composition. They can suggest unique ideas and settings to create memorable and artistic images that truly reflect your pregnancy journey.
Comfort and Guidance: Professionals are skilled in creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere during the photoshoot. They can provide guidance on posing and expressions, ensuring that you look your best while feeling at ease.
Personalisation: Professional photographers can tailor the photoshoot to your preferences and vision, ensuring that the resulting images are meaningful and reflect your individual style.
Equipment and Editing: Professionals use high-quality cameras and professional-grade editing software to enhance and retouch images, ensuring a polished and flawless final product.

However, if you have a limited budget or prefer a more casual and spontaneous approach to photography, you may consider taking maternity photos yourself or having a friend or family member capture the moments. Smartphone cameras can produce decent results, especially in well-lit environments.

In the end, the decision to hire a professional maternity photographer depends on your priorities, budget and the level of quality and personalisation you desire for your maternity photos. It's essential to research and choose a photographer whose style aligns with your vision and values to ensure a successful and enjoyable photoshoot experience.

How to Plan For a Successful Maternity Photoshoot?

Planning for a maternity photoshoot can be an exciting process, here are some tips to help you plan for your photoshoot:

Choose a location: Decide on a location for your photoshoot. You can do it outdoors or in a studio, or even at your home.
Plan your outfit: Decide what to wear for your photoshoot. Wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident, and bring a few different outfits to change into during the shoot.

FAQs

It's important to ask any question you may have to me in order to make sure you are comfortable with the process and know what to expect. I will be happy to answer your questions and work with you to make sure you are satisfied with the final product.

Here are some frequently asked questions that clients may have about a maternity photoshoot:

When is the best time to schedule a maternity photoshoot?

The best time to schedule a maternity photoshoot is between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. This is when the belly is prominently rounded, but the mom-to-be is still comfortable enough to move around and pose.

How long does a maternity photoshoot take?

A maternity photoshoot using natural light typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the location. Be expected to spend more time for a high-end photoshoot that uses flash because the flash will be re-positioned to ensure you get the best angle for every pose and even the angle that you rotate.

What should I wear for my maternity photoshoot?

It's best to wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Many moms-to-be choose to wear a flowing dress or a fitted top and a flowing skirt to show off their belly. It's also a good idea to bring a few different outfits to change into during the shoot. Some bold moms-to-be may even go for an implied nude photoshoot, which is more artistic.

What location should I choose for my maternity photoshoot?

The location of your maternity photoshoot is up to you. Some popular choices include a park, a beach or a natural setting. You can also choose to have the photoshoot in a studio or even at your home.

Can I include my partner or other family members in the photoshoot?

Yes, many expecting families choose to include their partner or other family members in the photoshoot. This can be a great way to capture the excitement and love of the entire family as they prepare for the arrival of a new baby.

What should I expect from the editing process?

The editing process is done by me and typically includes colour correction and exposure adjustments for basic editing, and minor retouching such as removing blemishes, smoothing skin, and removing unwanted objects for advanced editing.

How long will it take to receive my photographs?

The time it takes to receive your photographs will vary depending on my schedule. Be sure that I won't want to drag the process because I don't want to keep a big backlog.

How will I receive my photographs?

Your photographs will typically be delivered to you digitally, via a private web link. I do not offer the option of a physical album or prints because I just want to focus on my photography for now, and not to make additional income out of photography.

Are there any additional costs beyond the photoshoot fee?

If you suddenly ask for anything beyond the package that we have agreed on, there will likely be an additional cost. Please read properly and be sure that anything that's not listed on the package means it's not included.

Can I bring my own props for the photoshoot?

Yes, that will be good. It's always best to check with me first to ensure that the props will be useful.

Will you be able to help me with posing during the photoshoot?

I will be able to help you with posing and will work with you to ensure that you are comfortable and relaxed during the photoshoot. I will help you to find poses that are both flattering and comfortable for you.

However, it will be good if you can research some of the poses that you prefer. They will be a good head start for us to begin.

Can I bring my children to the photoshoot?

Yes. If you're planning to include your children in the photoshoot, do let me know earlier so that I can get prepared. I work with children often, especially during birthday parties.

Can I bring my furry friend to the photoshoot?

Yes, I'm a dognapper. However, it is also important to make sure that the location you choose for the photoshoot allows pets.

Can I have the raw images?

The raw images are the unedited images taken during the photoshoot and are not typically provided to clients. I only provide the final edited images that I have retouched.

Do you offer any packages or discounts?

My packages are listed on this page. If you have any enquiry, do approach me.

Your Goals: What Do You Want to Achieve by Hiring a Maternity Photographer?

In conclusion, maternity photography is a deeply meaningful journey that allows us to celebrate the beauty, strength and anticipation of pregnancy. As we embark on this adventure, setting clear goals for our maternity photoshoots becomes paramount.

Our first goal should always be to obtain beautiful and professional photographs that capture the essence of this remarkable chapter in life. These images become lasting treasures, cherished for years to come.

Beyond mere aesthetics, our second goal is to create meaningful photos that are unique and customised to reflect our individual stories. Every pregnancy journey is exceptional and our photographs should mirror that uniqueness.

A third goal is to explore the creative and impactful potential of maternity photography. It's an opportunity to push the boundaries of artistic expression, capturing images that not only showcase our changing bodies but also evoke powerful emotions.

While pursuing these goals, it's crucial to remember the importance of feeling respected and comfortable during the photoshoot. Communication with the photographer is key to ensuring that the experience is positive and empowering.

Lastly, as we celebrate our own pregnancy journeys, let's aspire to inspire other women. Our photographs can be a source of encouragement, showing that pregnancy is a time of beauty, strength and anticipation.

And if ever you decide that a professional touch is the right choice for your maternity photography, I'm here to offer my services in a humble and supportive manner. It's not about business; it's about ensuring you have an experience that's as memorable and meaningful as the photographs themselves.
