the fun saturday morning…
i have been secretly praying that the baby won’t pop out that soon because i very last minute decided to sign myself up for a maternity shoot to capture some memories of this pregnancy.
because it’s so last minute, i haven’t really done my research and really think about how i want the shoot to be. i enlisted der’s help in checking out some maternity shoot packages, decided on one, made an appointment that fit into our schedule and viola, the next thing we know.. we are on set.
we did the shoot yesterday morning, the only saturday that’s available since our antenatal class ended last weekend, and being totally clueless on what to expect, i think the pictures came out rather nice! errrm.. i ended up buying the entire CD of pictures just for memory’s sake.
here’s some of my favourites. warning, pictures heavy!
well, the boy insisted on having a “watch” version of copy.
well, the last one was taken nude.. there’s another semi nude picture that i love, but i won’t share till i get the edited ones from the photographer.
and in case you are keen in the maternity shoot, i had them taken at the studio loft . considering that the shoot was done mostly in au naturale state, i think it’s pretty well done though there are shots where i think i look totally FAT (unsightly double chin, fat arms etc) but then again, i guess the focus is on the tummy where jerry is wriggling in most of the time.
ok. running late for my dinner date. am outta here!

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

Wow how far along are you? I did mine at week 33 which was too early I think, had to forcibly push my bump our. Think I’ll wait till at least week 35 for our 2nd.

i’m 38 weeks as of today! i am so so scared that i’ll bomb before the shoot so it’s so late..
🙂 even i had to push out my bump in some of the shots, just so it make it look bigger.

Gorgeous! I especially like the series with you in denim skirt.
cherieladieblogs

missustay
the photos are very nice! i thought of doing this but i looked too frumpy.
cherieladieblogs
thank you. they turned out better than i expected them to be! but actually, my skin was bad also (pimple prone and loads of little oil bumps).
I don’t remember seeing you look frumpy at all! no worries, you can always do a family shoot with baby T! 🙂

Love the outcome, last picture especially! 😀
cherieladieblogs
hahha. there’s one more with a really ‘see-thru’ cloth not shown here. that’s my favourite..but too much nudity for a public post. maybe when i get the edited pictures, i’ll post it up – locked. 🙂

Hahaha! I love the conversation ones.. so cute! Can’t wait for Jerry’s arrival!
cherieladieblogs
Haha. the photographer was telling me that she had one couple with the following:
husband: i am the man of the house.
tummy: wait till i come out!
hilarious! i think you’ll see him real soon.. or at least i think.
