Maternity photoshoot Singapore
Capture your special maternity moment for future memories
Hi, my name is Gunilla, I’m a Swedish maternity photographer based in Singapore since 2006. I specialise in unique and customised natural light maternity photography where you will feel beautiful and empowered. Every pregnancy is unique and I will guide you through the whole experience creating the most beautiful maternity images. All my maternity sessions are relaxed and fun while capturing your motherhood journey.
As a mother myself, I understand how quickly time passes by. Before you know it, your pregnancy will become a distant memory. To make sure that doesn't happen, let's create some beautiful maternity photos that you can treasure forever. I know I regret not having any photos from my own three pregnancies, and I don't want that to happen to you too. That's why I am so passionate about capturing these special moments for my clients. Don't let your memories fade away.
Pregnancy is a journey filled with beauty, fear, joy, excitement, and love. Every pregnancy is special and deserves to be documented, regardless of whether you're radiating with joy or facing difficulties like hormones, swelling, or stretch marks. Each pregnancy has its own unique beauty that is worth capturing and preserving.
Soon, the tiny human within you will transform into a walking, talking person with their own personal traits, thoughts, and feelings. Your child will cherish the moments spent looking through the pictures from their time in your womb. A maternity photoshoot serves as a reminder of the strength of your body, preserving the memories of the incredible feat of pregnancy, long after it is forgotten.

Every pregnancy is unique; some women may have a prominent bump at six months while others may barely have one at eitht months. Generally speaking, the ideal time for your pregnancy photograph is when you feel your bump is lovely and round. It's important to remember that every pregnancy is unique, and how your belly grows and how you feel during pregnancy can vary. However, I usually suggest scheduling your maternity session between weeks 27 and 34. But if something unexpected comes up or if you don't feel well on the day of your appointment, don't worry! You can always reschedule for a better time. I stay in touch with my clients throughout their pregnancy and will make sure you're feeling your best before your photo shoot. If you're expecting twins, it's best to book your session even earlier. Let's create memories that celebrate your pregnancy journey!

Choice of colors - your maternity photographer Singapore recommends
When selecting undergarments for your maternity photoshoot, it's best to opt for neutral colors to avoid any noticeable lines or patterns that may show through the maternity dresses. If desired, you may also consider wearing a strapless bra for a seamless look

Maternity photographer Singapore - Which places in Singapore do I like to photograph best as a maternity photographer?
I have a few locations in Singapore that I love to photograph at, I know how the light is moving and times for when the light is so beautifully soft and gorgeous. A few of my all time favourite maternity photos has been photographed at East Coast Park. Another favourite location is Botanical Garden at sunset, big tropical leafs at sunset in a gorgeous maternity dress is pure bliss.
Maternity shoot East Coast Beach
This photo location is absolutely MAGICAL! I absolutely love maternity photos taken here. The smooth light with sunset become an absolutely beautiful background. There are also very few people here during the time we are taking pictures and it has only been me, your "pregnancy photographer Singapore" on site.
Maternity photoshoot at Botanical Garden Singapore
Beautiful tropical greenery, that we can make as gorgeous as we want. The big leafs, trees that are hundreds of years old and the small pathways makes Botanical a gorgeous location for your maternity photos.
Bodysuit in water
When I bought the exclusive bodysuit that you can borrow, I had a clear plan for it: water photography! With this bodysuit in a fantastic location, the pregnancy photos really become something completely different from the typical pregnancy photography. A maternity photo shoot in Singapore with this beautiful bodysuit, and floating flowers next to it, well then you will get such beautiful pregnancy photos that no one else has! We can photograph both at the beach and swimmingpool.
What I like most as a pregnancy photographer is that not many people can offer this type of photography and that the pictures turn out to be so fabulously beautiful!
