A few things to keep in mind

01
When to schedule each session
Session Timing
Maternity
Best between 29 – 34 weeks where bump is beautifully rounded and mum is still comfortable.
A session takes about 2 – 2.5 hours, including outfit changes and breaks. I don’t impose a strict cut-off, so the session may run slightly longer when needed.
Newborn
Best within 7 – 12 days of arrival where baby is most sleepy and poseable in this window. A session duration depends on the package tier.
The pace is baby-led and relaxed, with time for feeding, resting and settling whenever needed. Some poses may take a few attempts, and the session may run a little longer depending on how settled our little model is. View newborn photography rates and details

02
Makeup & hairdo
Do you provide makeup and hairdo services?
I don’t provide makeup services directly, but I work with several talented makeup artists specialising in maternity photography. I’m happy to recommend them and help coordinate your makeup session with your photoshoot.
Is professional makeup and hairdo necessary?
While professional makeup and hairdo isn’t required for a maternity photoshoot, it can help you feel more confident in front of the camera. If you prefer to do your own makeup, I recommend going slightly more defined than your everyday look, particularly around the eyes, brows and lips, so your features remain naturally defined in photographs.

03
Kids & family members
Can I include my kids(s) in the session?
Absolutely! Children are welcome to join the session for family photographs. An additional fee of $60 applies when including children beyond the standard maternity session.

04
Maternity Β· How it’s counted
What is a Setting?
Each maternity setting= 1 unique outfit + 1 unique decor arrangement.

05
Newborn Β· How it’s counted
What is a Style?
Each newborn “style” represents a unique creative direction. A new style is counted when we transition to a new setup or focus, including:
–Props changes: Moving between setups (e.g., basket, crate, bucket, or beanbag).
–Wardrobe transition: A change in outfit or a distinct new wrap style.
–Subject focus: Dedicated sibling portraits.
–Detailed focus: “Macro” detail shots (close-ups of lashes, lips, ears, and profile).

06
Newborn Β· Good to know
What goes into a set of family portraits?
This segment typically includes:
–Family group portraits
–Individual portraits of Mum with Baby
–Individual portraits of Dad with Baby
* We typically capture approximately 7 – 8 pose variations during this segment.

07
Your images Β· How they’re finished
Signature Style vs Hand-Retouched
Every image is finished to my signature style. Hand-retouching goes further – treating specific areas of an image individually, so unaffected areas are left untouched.
Signature Style Β· Every image
–Color grading
–Overall image exposure adjustment
–White balance restoration
Individually Hand-Retouched Β· In addition to the above
–Uneven skin tone adjustment
–Skin flakes reduction
–Skin smoothening
–Shadow refining
–Backdrop smoothing

08
Your images
Image Deliverables
Your images are uploaded to a private gallery for selection. Once the hand-retouched images are completed, you’ll receive a downloadable link to the complete set.
The full process typically takes 2–3 weeks from the session and image selection. All final images are delivered in high-resolution JPEG format only. Unedited RAW files are not provided.

* Rates are subject to change without prior notice.

Engaged James as I love his aesthetic for newborn photography. James was very patient with baby and has excellent attention to detail. He was also able to direct us for the family photo as we are not good at posing. Love the photos!

We had a great experience with James on our daughter's newborn shoot. He was very calm and patient with her, as well as with our 1.5 year old toddler. The shoot was conducted in our home which made things much more comfortable, and James was able to set everything up so we didn't feel like the shoot was compromised from not being in a studio. Most importantly, he managed to capture lovely photos of my two children that we will cherish for a long time. Thank you James!

We recently engaged James for a newborn photography session after reviewing several photographers, and we were drawn to his beautiful style. The photoshoot took place at his cozy home, where everything was thoughtfully prepared for us. James was incredibly meticulous and patient with our newborn, ensuring the baby was comfortable before starting each shot. The photoshoot took longer as baby took a while to settle down but James was not rushing through and was so patient throughout. We are absolutely thrilled with how the photos turned out β€” his editing work was outstanding as well. We highly recommend meadow lullabies

James is professional, attentive and patient to deal with newborn. My family and I had a good time taking our newborns (twice) and family photos by James and we love the results. Beautiful photos and memories!

James is a very professional photographer who has high expectations of himself and one who puts his heart into the work he delivers. He ensures that his client feels comfortable by providing a briefing on how the photoshoot would be conducted, engaged in small talks and patiently guiding my husband and I on the poses etc throughout our maternity photoshoot. Intermittently, he would check the quality of photos taken to ensure that the photos captured only the best of us - expression, mood and lightning, instead of rushing through the photoshoot to be completed within the allocated photoshoot duration.

Appreciate James patience and guidance in doing our maternity and especially our newborn photoshoot. He didn’t rush and was incredibly patient to guide us in our posing and to wait for our baby to settle down for him to take the perfect shots. Love the way our photos turned out. Heartmelts❀️ Thank you James for a wonderful photoshoot experience and for all the beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. Highly recommended!! 😊

I recently had a newborn photography session with James, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the start, the booking process was straightforward, and James was very responsive to my questions. During the session, they created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making both my baby and me feel comfortable. The way he handled my newborn was incredibly reassuring, and their attention to safety was evident. The final photos were breathtakingβ€”beautifully composed and perfectly edited. We received our images within the promised timeframe, and the quality exceeded our expectations! I highly recommend James for anyone looking for a friendly, flexible and professional newborn photographer. I will definitely be booking again for future milestones!

We’ve engaged James twice for our 2 kids and he has always done such a great job with the newborn photography! He is super patient and is willing to work with the babies and give them time to settle down so he can take the perfect shot. He never rushes us and always checks in to ensure the baby needs are met - well fed, needs a diaper change etc. His professionalism and dedication to his craft never ceases to amaze me. I also like that his shots are more artistic and whimsical than the typical newborn shoots. He also shared with me that he spent a lot of time procuring the newborn fits to make sure they are high quality. I would highly recommend engaging him!

FAQ

Maternity Outfit

Are the maternity dresses provided?

Yes! I provide a curated collection of about 10 maternity dresses and gowns (and it’s constantly growing!) for your maternity photoshoot. These pieces are specially selected to complement my rustic bohemian-style home studio decor, ensuring your photos have a cohesive aesthetic. The collection includes both belly-baring styles and more covered options, ranging from bold statement pieces to conservative, elegant designs. This variety ensures there’s something perfect for every personality and comfort level, all while flowing naturally with the warm, earthy tones and textures of the space.

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.

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.

Preparation/ Misc

How do I book a session?

Upon confirmation, a deposit amount of $180 will be required to secure a session slot. Meadow Lullabies is flexible with switching dates, subject to availability.

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.
  • Hairpins (optional)
  • Hair gel/wax/spray (optional)
  • Makeup (optional)
  • Baby apparel such as rompers/ socks (optional)
  • Custom-made items such as baby birth announcement signboards/ letterboards (optional)
  • Ultrasound scans (optional)

What outfit should my husband put on?

To match the overall theme of the shoot, plain light neutral-toned apparel such as off-white, army green (muted sage / olive), khaki (beige / taupe), warm grey is recommended. A classic pair-up will be a loose white casual shirt and khaki color pants. Try to avoid outfits that appear too formal or contains distracting graphics or text.

We have bought a few items for my baby and would like to incorporate them into the shoot.

You are welcome to bring meaningful personal items such as baby clothing, ultrasound scans or announcement signs. Here are a few suggestions:

  • 3 – 5pcs x 4R size photos of your family
  • Baby apparel such as rompers/ socks.
  • Custom-made items such as baby birth announcement signboards/ letterboards
  • Ultrasound scans

What is the studio's decor like?

Embracing soft neutral-toned colors, our minimalistic nature-inspired home studio is furnished with Nordic and boho influence in mind which brings about a rustic yet modern touch.
