A maternity shoot is a lovely way to mark a pregnancy, and it pairs naturally with a newborn session a few weeks later. The best studios make an expectant mum feel genuinely beautiful, with flattering light, flowing gowns and a calm, unhurried session, whether in a controlled studio or out in the green. If you want the best maternity photoshoot Singapore mums-to-be book in 2026, this is my shortlist.
The main choice is studio versus outdoor, and the styling that goes with it, elegant and gown-led, warm and natural, or editorial. I weighed each studio on their maternity portfolio and styling, whether gowns are provided, studio and outdoor options, and what is included. The seven below are the ones I would trust to capture a bump beautifully.
This is one of my Terris Recommends photography guides. For the wider picture see my best photography studios in Singapore guide, and to plan the shoot that follows see my newborn photography guide.
Key Takeaways
- 1 The best window for a maternity shoot is around 28 to 34 weeks, when the bump is beautifully round but you are still comfortable.
- 2 For elegant studio work White Room and Tomato are my top picks. Orange Studios and Meadow Lullabies lead on warm, natural styling, and Oh Dear on natural-light shophouse shoots.
- 3 Decide studio versus outdoor early: a studio gives controlled, gown-led elegance; outdoor spots like the Botanic Gardens give natural light and a sense of place.
- 4 Many studios provide maternity gowns and styling, so ask what is included before buying an outfit, and confirm the edited image count.
- 5 This is part of my Terris Recommends photography series. Most of these studios also do newborn shoots, so you can bundle the bump and the baby.
What to look for in a maternity photographer
Start with style and setting. Decide whether you want an elegant studio shoot, controlled lighting, flowing gowns, a clean or moody backdrop, or an outdoor session at a spot like the Botanic Gardens or East Coast Park for natural light and greenery. Look at each studio's maternity portfolio specifically (not just newborn or family) to check the look is consistent and flatters real mums, not just models.
Then the practicalities that make a maternity shoot comfortable. Ask whether gowns and styling are provided, since a good studio's wardrobe saves you buying an outfit you will wear once, and many include hair and makeup or can arrange it. Check the session is unhurried and that partners and older children can join for a few frames, and confirm timing advice for your stage of pregnancy.
On cost, maternity sessions typically run S$400 to S$800, often with edited images and sometimes a gown, hair and makeup included, and many studios offer a maternity-plus-newborn bundle that is better value than booking separately. As always, the number of edited images included is the real cost driver, so confirm it up front.

White Room Studio is my top pick for elegant, natural-light maternity work.

3. Orange Studios
Orange Studios brings its emotion-led approach to maternity. Ryan and Wini focus on genuine feeling over posed perfection, which suits a maternity shoot that should feel warm and personal rather than like a glossy magazine shoot, and they carry it through to the newborn session too.

Meadow Lullabies applies its signature rustic, neutral-tone styling to maternity as well as newborn work. The muted, earthy palette makes for soft, calm bump portraits that feel organic rather than staged, and it flows straight into a matching newborn session.

6. Oh Dear Studio
Oh Dear Studio is the pick for a bright, airy natural-light shoot. Set in a naturally lit colonial shophouse and recognised by Tatler and Channel 8, its daylight-led approach gives maternity photos a fresh, clean, unposed feel, and the studio also offers outdoor sessions for a change of scene.
For a mum who wants light, breezy bump portraits rather than a heavy studio look, the space suits it. A strong choice for daylight maternity work.

When is the best time for a maternity photoshoot?
Around 28 to 34 weeks is the sweet spot. By then the bump is nicely round and photogenic, but most mums are still comfortable enough to move and pose. Leave it much later and it can get tiring, and there is a risk of an early arrival. If you are expecting twins or carrying larger, aim for the earlier end. Your photographer can advise based on your pregnancy, so mention your due date when booking.
How much does a maternity photoshoot cost in Singapore?
Maternity sessions typically run S$400 to S$800, often including edited images and sometimes a gown, hair and makeup. Many studios offer a maternity-plus-newborn bundle that works out cheaper than booking the two separately, which is worth asking about since you will likely want both. As with any shoot, confirm how many edited images are included, since that drives the real cost.
Are maternity gowns provided?
At many studios, yes. A good maternity studio keeps a wardrobe of flowing gowns and styling pieces in various sizes, so you do not need to buy an outfit you will wear once. Confirm what is available in your size and whether it is included or an add-on, and ask whether hair and makeup are provided or can be arranged. Bring a couple of your own outfit options too for variety.
Studio or outdoor maternity shoot, which is better?
Both are lovely, it comes down to the look you want. A studio gives controlled lighting, gown-led elegance and no weather risk, ideal for a polished, timeless set. An outdoor shoot at the Botanic Gardens, Gardens by the Bay or a beach gives natural light, greenery and a sense of place, but depends on weather and timing (soft morning or golden-hour light is best). Several studios offer both, so pick the setting that matches your style.
Can my partner and children join the shoot?
Yes, and it makes for lovely frames. Most maternity sessions welcome your partner and older children for part of the shoot, so the bump photos sit alongside a few family ones. Mention it when booking so the photographer allows time and plans the setups, and if you want a proper family portrait as well, ask whether that extends the session or the package.
Need a website that brings in more bookings
The studios that stay fully booked do it on a website that shows their portfolio off beautifully and makes enquiring easy. That is the part I work on. I design and build websites for photographers and studios across Singapore that turn a Google search into a booking, like the result in my Arcade Rental case study.
