YOUR MATERNITY SESSION WITH SIMPLY ANIA, YOUR OKINAWA MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

The memories of motherhood begin way before the birth, while you still feel refreshed, beautiful and excited about your new arrival.

Sometimes we may think that we do not want to capture this time. For whatever reason you may have, this is a moment in your life that you will treasure forever.
You will always remember the day you first heard your baby’s heartbeat, the first kick or the tiny little hiccups. But will you remember the beautiful baby bump or how gorgeous you looked?
I know it is not always comfortable, the cramps, the swelling… It is ok! It is may job to make you feel amazing even if it is just for an hour or so.
For the perfect maternity session I recommend scheduling the shoot between 30 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. Some mommies start showing very early and choose to do their sessions earlier,
as soon as 28 weeks while others stay tiny and do not show as much and will wait until the last few weeks.

I am asked a lot about the best places to do the maternity sessions. There are so many different options, depending on what you have in mind for your images. I am always open to different locations around the island. We are spoiled for choices here for location sessions: beautiful beaches, fields, urban street and markets areas… I always suggest aiming for the golden hour, which is an hour prior to the sunset for an outdoor session on a sunny day. I love everything about the warm sun rays backlighting the round belly.

On location maternity session is not the only option for your maternity photo session here on Okinawa. I have a fully equipped studio in Yomitan, where we could plan a fine art session.

To complete planning the special photo shoot, I suggest using a hair and makeup stylist for your maternity shoot for absolute pampering.  I highly recommend Sydney Ito Make-up Artist

When it comes to clothing, I have pinned outfit inspiration on my Pinterest board in case you decided to plan your outfit to coordinate with your husband or your family. I also have a wide variety of amazing maternity gowns and accessories for all my expecting mommies to use during the sessions. From simple through boho to glam, there are a lot of options to choose from to make your day super special. I would love to discuss the look you are going for for your maternity session.

If you’d like to purchase your own gown for the session, I love the quality and look of gowns by Sew Trendy Accessories, Mii Estilo, Silk Fairies  or Chicaboo.

I actually have my referral code for additional 20% off for Sew Trendy Accessories if you wish to purchase your own gown. Please feel free to head to their page here to activate the discount.
