Candice (Maternity Photo Shoot)

Candice, Maternity Photo Shoot

I had a bad experience with my wedding photographer, leading to my misguided impression that photographers work only with their DSLR camera. I was hesitant to engage a photographer for a pregnancy photo shoot, but since I did not have one with my first child, I decided to have a maternity photo shoot for this second pregnancy.

So I checked out a few companies. Most do not return the soft copies or charge you an arm and a leg for them while others did not even respond to my queries about purchasing additional photos. Then I saw JJ’s website. What drew my attention was that he returns clients all their soft copies of their photo session so I decided to email him. He responded pretty fast, calling back personally and explaining that everything will take place at the convenience of my home. He also answered all my enquiries patiently.

On the actual day itself, we scheduled our photo shoot at 4 pm. I was late, but he waited patiently at my doorstep. (more…)

Costing a Maternity Photography Session

It’s Not As Expensive As You Might Think

Many people associate professional photography with costing an arm and a leg, but it isn’t the case. Most photographers these days have many options, or packages, which enable you to have a prints and digital copies of your images to use as you please. They usually have a sitting fee which varies, then you can choose prints or digital be it all the shots or selected shots on CD. Considering how much we might spend photographing a wedding day, a pregnancy photo shoot which is just as memorable costs a fraction of that.

Jiewen, Maternity & Newborn Session

7 months preggy, first-time mummy, I had been taking a number of selfies that featured my growing bump until one day, it dawned on me that I might as well have a maternity shoot!

So I started searching online, and JJ’s website stood out for its clarity on the packages available, as well as the fact that I could get all the soft copies of the photos! And of course, the possibility of having the shoot done in the comfort of our new home was a plus. (more…)

Arranging that Maternity Photography Session

Now that you’ve decided to go ahead with a maternity photography, when would be a good time to book your session? Naturally, you would save it for the last trimester when your baby bump is really showing. So, the 7th or 8th month. 8th if this is your first pregnancy, and 7th upwards if this is your second child onwards.

That Maternity Shoot

Maternity Photography SingaporeTo take or not to take. Pregnancy photos are all the rage these days, judging by the growing number of photography studios offering maternity shoots. You may, however, be self-conscious and embarrassed by how big and fat you think you are, and feel that a maternity photo shoot is definitely not for you. Well, think again. In time, all images of your pregnant days will be wiped out, and you will be hard put trying to remember what you looked like carrying your children in your belly. Your children, when they are older, will also get quite a kick from seeing their expectant mama, with the baby in her tummy, as it grows inside of her. These photographic memories will serve to remind them of the love you have for them, and your joy in having them. Even if you don’t care for the memory for yourself, do it for the kids.

Stephen (Maternity & Newborn Session)

Maternity PhotographyMy wife and I were looking for ways to capture the magic of the moments before the arrival of our first child. This seemed almost impossible given the logistics and anxiety around the birth, until we found JJ Photography.

JJ offered flexible timing and the convenience of a professional studio brought to our apartment.
The familiar surroundings made the maternity photo shoot more natural, restful and beautiful. JJ also took lifestyle shots of us around our home, thereby capturing poignant moments that we would have forgotten amidst the rush of early parenthood.

JJ is a very warm and engaging person, and was extremely generous with his knowledge and time during the shoot. (more…)

Peter (Maternity & Newborn Session)

Phyllis and I are first-time parents, and so the arrival of Phoebe was hectic to say the least. WE wanted to capture some moments from the first few weeks, but we weren’t too keen on going to a studio for a photo shoot. This is what sets JJ Photography apart, and why we were so happy with the shoot and with the beautiful photos of our family and of little Phoebe.  JJ understood how the shoot would have to revolve around Phoebe’s feeding times, so he was very flexible. He quickly transformed our living room into a living studio and it was fun and relaxing as we waited for Phoebe to get a little sleepy so that she would be more ‘pliable’ for the photos. Phoebe was a little star to say the least, and JJ kept us all laughing with his warm sense of humour.

Erin (Maternity & Newborn Session)

Maternity PhtographyPregnancy, for us, was a whole host of new and funny experiences. We wanted a photographer to help us capture not only the beauty of it all, but also to help us lighten the mood and find amusement in it. When we briefed JJ on our sometimes outlandish needs, he ensured we got everything we wanted – including both serenity and humour. He laughed through the session with us and showed the utmost professionalism and courtesy. His expertise was obvious from the moment he turned up and we are thrilled with the resulting shots.
