Expecting { Ling and Anton }

This has been a long-awaited blessing for Ling and Anton. Soon they will be welcoming a bouncing baby boy. Ling and I know each other through a common friend and have seen each other occasionally in events and gatherings in the past. It was only this warm but nice Saturday afternoon that I got to sit and talk with her and her hubby ever since we were introduced.

This maternity shoot allowed for us a chance to chat about her anticipating a child and a few stories about the world of weddings and event photography. A friend of mine was with us that afternoon who is also a mom, which was great because it was a perfect time for them to exchange stories of motherhood and anticipating the journey of caring for a child.

Ling and Anton are not used to having photo sessions and they told me they chose not to have a pre-wedding shoot. I thought of giving them a little bit of those couple moments along with intimate shots with Ling's beautiful baby bump. They were willing to go an extra mile for the photos but I kept it safe and relaxed because I wanted them to be comfortable and not feel shy or awkward. This was a very low-key session, no fuss at all. Actually just the way I liked it.

We wrapped up after an hour. We spent the rest of the afternoon over pizza and pasta, enjoying the sand in our feet and the breeze under a shade. We're sending warm congrats to both and we look forward to meeting this baby boy, praying for a safe delivery for Ling!
