Maternity Photoshoot - Do It Yourself

Hiring a professional photographer here in Japan is a bit expensive and we cannot speak and understand Japanese yet, so let's DIY mah friends!

Before our lives turned upside down, we're able to capture the important moments of Sharm's pregnancy. We're supposed to document Sharm's pregnancy from month 6 until labor, but things got busy moving in an empty apartment here in Osaka. The good thing is it's very convenient to purchase furniture in Japan. Items no matter how big or small can be delivered right to your doorsteps, so we settled in Osaka after a month. Sharm was already 7 to 8 months pregnant during this timing.

Finally, on late September, DIY maternity photoshoot started. We're far from professional photographers, and we only used my old OPPO smartphone. Got a little inspiration from Pinterest, schick the camera and tang da da da! - here's the result.

The images turned out to be good in my own opinion.😅 Sharm also approves so I'm convinced. Thank you for the support. 😆

On October 1, Sharm was admitted to the hospital. After an 11-hour labor, Aya-chan was born. "Welcome to the world baby Hiraya!" This is another opportunity for... "You guessed it right! It's time for DIY Baby Photoshoot. Yipeey!", but this will be for another blog - so stay tuned for the next blog! Ja mata ne!
