What clients say about Meadow Lullabies
Lizhen Huang
We engaged James for both our maternity and newborn shoot and i must say that we are really pleased with the service and the photos provided. Initially, we have engaged him as we love the rustic type of photography as saw from his website. After the sessions with him, i must say that he is a very dedicated photographer who really cares about providing high-quality photos back to his clients. He is also so good and patient with my baby that makes the whole experience very assuring. Will definitely recommend his services to anyone who are looking to have their maternity/newborn shoot; you will certainly not regret doing so:)
Melisa Ong
My husband and I are glad we engaged Meadow Lullabies for our Maternity and Newborn photoshoot. James’ responses and deliverables were prompt, his service is excellent.
James is passionate about his craft and it shows through his attention to the set up and props. He is also patient and helped us feel comfortable throughout the session and we looked natural in the photos. Our baby was cranky during the shoot but James gently calmed him. The photos turned out beautifully and were well received by our friends and family.
James’ ability to capture me as a glowing mama despite all the pregnancy bloat is a testament to his skill. Highly recommend his service and will return again if we have another baby!
Shara Wong
We had a great experience doing the maternity and newborn shoot with James! He made us feel very comfortable during the maternity shoot and also provided the outfits for the shoot, making it really convenient. His home studio also felt like a professional studio with the backdrops and set up/props. For our newborn shoot, he showed a lot of patience when our baby girl was fussing in the first few hours, and the shots turned out amazing. We’re super happy with the photos and would highly recommend Meadow Lullabies!
FAQ
What is the best time frame for a maternity photo shoot?
The best time will be between 32-35 weeks where your belly begins to develop more of a nice round shape that’s perfect for showing off in photos. Some clients choose to do the shoot in the 30th week which is fine too.
Are the maternity dresses provided?
Yes! Currently, there are about 10 dresses/gowns (collection size is growing!) for you to choose from.
Do you have maternity dresses that don't expose the belly?
We understand that some individuals may have reservations about exposing their bellies, we do have regular maternity dresses that don’t expose the belly area.
What are the sizes of the maternity dresses?
The sizes of the dresses range from Free size – Medium size. Most of the dresses are stretchable which makes fitting easy.
How many maternity dresses can I change?
You may change up to 2 dresses for the shoot.
Can I bring my own maternity dresses?
After all, you know best what suits you. While you’re welcome to get your own maternity dresses, I would like to suggest that you show them to me first before placing an order. As much as possible, we want something that goes well with the decor.
How long will the session take?
A session typically takes approximately 2 – 2.5 hours. That excludes the time for trying out/ changing of dresses.
What do we need to prepare?
- Inner-wear: The maternity outfits come in an array of colors including white, army green, dusty pink, and khaki. To complement these outfits, it is advisable to select complementary inner-wear for a coordinated and put-together look. Opt for colors such as beige, white, dusty pink, or black for your lingerie. A suggested choice would be a matching lacey bralette paired with either panties or safety tights for a cohesive look. This becomes particularly crucial if your chosen attire exposes your belly or features translucent fabrics. Additionally, for off-shoulder dresses, it’s advisable to consider strapless bras for a seamless look. To ensure versatility and flexibility in styling, it’s wise to bring along a variety of lingerie designs.
- Hairdo: During the photoshoot, there may be poses where you’re required to bend your head slightly downward and face the camera from the side. To ensure your facial features are visible in these poses, it’s recommended to communicate with your makeup artist (MUA) or hairstylist about styling your hair accordingly.
Ask your MUA to create a hairstyle that keeps the sides of your face open and doesn’t obstruct your features when you tilt your head downward. This way, you can maintain a clear view of your face and showcase your natural beauty from all angles. - Husband’s outfit: To match the overall theme of the shoot, plain light neutral-toned apparel such as white, light pink, brown, khaki, grey is recommended. A classic pair-up will be a loose white casual shirt and khaki color pants. Try to avoid outfits that appears too formal or contains distracting graphics or text.
