As some of you guys may know, I did my recent maternity shoot with Ashley Low Photography and basically almost all of my family shoots with her!
She did such an awesome job with Aidan’s newborn photoshoot that it’s a no-brainer that I would return to her!
Do check out pics of Aidan’s shoot here!
Prior to the shoot
We discussed about themes and concepts. Questions posed to me were:
– Do you have any colour preferences like “neutral”, “pastels only”, “bright” or you are fine with any colour choice?
– Do you like usage of flowers, floral themes?
– We have the following set ups: basket/fabric ; beanbags ; themes – do you have preference over any kind of set ups?
I also viewed their website to have a sense of what types of set ups were available. Back then, for Aidan’s shoot, I wanted colourful. For Davina, I wanted more neutral and girly colours. I also opted for more beanbags and baskets/fabrics as compared to concept themes.
Ashley’s team also shared with us to consider neutral coloured outfits for our family shoot and to avoid big logos etc. Like with Aidan’s, we decided to go with all white again!
They also sent across the location map for our easy reference.
On the day itself
Ashley has shifted studio to a stone’s throw away from her previous one. The new studio is bigger and more comfy!
There was a huge bunch of props and also an area for kids to have fun, which Aidan definitely did! He had so much fun with all of the toys!
A pantry area where cold and hot drinks are available. Plenty of snacks were available too!
Some of the other props available such as cloths, swaddles, baskets etc
A changing table where diapers and wet wipes are available.
I was extremely excited when I walked in as I saw all of the themes prepared for me.
I soon sat back and just let Ashley and her team to work her magic. She took care of outfit changes, to coaxing Davina to even changing her diaper when Davina soiled it! Here are some behind the scenes pics I sneakily took of Ashley and team!
We managed to finish the photoshoot within 1.5 hours despite having to stop for 2 times, to breastfeed and also having to coax a temperamental Aidan who did not want to take pics and wanted to continue playing LOL.
All I can say is… Ashley really knows how to coax kids! She got Aidan smiling in no time!
Final results
Love the sky background!
Florals! Huge fan of florals

I had to do this shot as we did a similar one for Aidan back then! I also customised the name banner for Davina.
