The first maternity session for the year was Sakiko, she reached out to me just before the lockdown to have her maternity session done. I am so blessed to be the one getting to capture her beautiful body and journey to become a mother for the first time.

I am amazed at how relaxed and calm she was, anything from how she feels and to labour she said that I am sure it will be fine, I don’t have anything to compare it to so I am not worried. It’s true we just have to follow our body and do our best. Our body is after all designed to give birth and we are lucky to live in the part of the world where healthcare is fantastic.

We had a wonderful session that we started up in my studio and then took a short little walk into the park and captured some outdoor photos for her. My studio is just a few meters away from a big park and golf course with a lot of green areas and places to photograph at. I can’t wait for the spring to come along and be able to go out and shoot there more often.

If you are pregnant and are looking for an outdoor photo session I am here for you, I would love to book you in and make magic happen and yes you can have both studio and the outdoor if you wish and there is no extra charge for it.

I hope you will enjoy the images below and the dresses she is wearing in the studio are from my studio closet ready for you to use if you like.

Colour or Black and white, which is your favourite?

Super cute little Imaan, who did so well during the shoot. We managed to capture some very special images that his parents will adore forever and ever, which is my goal. The beauty of images and it’s memories and they are worth so much for us. Make sure to keep them safe and don’t let them get dusty on only a USB stick make sure to buy a wall frame and hang them up in your home to see everyday. It will make it so much more powerful.

We went for a simple look of white and solid blues, that would go well in their home and to keep the focus on Imaan. I am very happy with how they turned out. He had the most gorgeous hair and was for the most part very relaxed. I love the simplicity in simple colours. We didn’t use that many props this session which is fine, there is no need to use loads of props, even if I love all my props.

Let me hear what you think and if you are due soon get in contact and we can plan your perfect photo session. Love Veronica x
