The shoot and day with Valent was absolutely amazing. He gave us a great feeling and nice environment to let us feel comfy as much as possible. The outcome was amazing, we love all the photos and are grateful. We will definitely come back for the next shoot!

I felt relaxed during the photography session and I liked the different styles and ideas for getting a nice shoot. The result of the photographs was wonderful, the photos was a result of the professional job.
I would like to recommend the Valent Lau Photography to all my friends. It is professional photography.

We were looking for a simple but personalised photography session to capture some memories of my pregnancy and our newborn baby girl later in the year and are happy that we found Valent Lau Photography.
Valent has the patience of a saint and his calm and relaxed demeanour allows for a peaceful and pleasant shoot. We're very happy with the outcome of the photos. The maternity shoot featured us as the type of couple we were and the newborn shoot captured our daughter Anjali very well.
Having liked portrait photography for a long time, the outcome of the photos are well satisfactory. We'd (...)

I am expecting my second baby and I was really keen to make a good memory of this period of my life. I was looking for a photographer who can show how much this pregnancy mean for me and my family. I am really happy I found a Valent Lau as I liked their work from the first sight.
Valent is a professional photographer and a very nice person. He put lots of effort during the prep time trying to understand our character. Photoshoot itself was very easy and comfortable.
I loved all the photos even before they became an art work. The only disappointment was that I couldn't have them all.(...)

Valent was our photographer for both our maternity and newborn baby session. It was our first child and a very exciting time for us.
We firstly captured some stunning pregnancy shots with the sunrise over the beach. We got up early and arrived when the sky was still dark! We loved the beautiful colors of the sky that Valent captured.
For our baby session we made a combination of some clean simple shots of her as well as some of the family together. We ended up making a beautiful album from each session.

Hi Valent! It has been our second time with you, and I can say it has been even better this time. My family and me cannot be happier about the results, which show a very important moment of our life and that you captured amazingly well. I especially love the way you captured our son's vitality and happiness when being with us, as well as my wife's pregnancy. It is truly magic. We are definitely going back for a third one once our new son is born. Thank you!

May I know when do I expect to receive all the rest of them? My mum just can't wait to see them all.
Why Have Pregnancy Photography?
If you’re unsure about having a photoshoot, you’re not alone. Many mums feel self-conscious as their bodies change, but also want to remember this amazing time.
We understand what you’re going through, which is why we spend time to learn about your journey, excitement, hopes, dreams – then help you bring these out in beautiful memories in a calm, relaxed session.
All our mums have shared how they were so grateful after seeing how their love and connection was captured.
Hear what Reana & Rodrigo had to say about their session with us.
The best time to capture your pregnancy is between 30-34 weeks. Your belly is a good size, but not too big. Check our blog for a detailed explanation why this is the best time. But also don’t forget your progression sessions can start from the 2nd trimester. If you are ready to schedule your session, you can contact us to book your maternity photos today.
Where does the pregnancy session take place?
Maternity sessions can be held in our Eastern Suburbs studio, or a range of outdoor locations in Sydney. We have sessions at Coogee and Maroubra beach, Little Bay, La Perouse, and some park sessions at a range of locations within Centennial Park. It all depends on the story you want to tell.
What is a pregnancy progression session?
Progression sessions capture your belly regularly from as early as 12 weeks all the way to your main session. You can see your belly grow in a beautiful way. This is included as part of your maternity experience with us.
How long does a photoshoot take?
It depends on our planning and what you want to wear. Most sessions last 1-1.5 hours. A little longer if you’re also doing boudoir & glamour as part of your session.
Do you provide props?
We have some sheer materials and wraps you can use. We also have simple timeless props we can show you when you visit the studio. However, the best things to include in images are items that have meaning for you. We’ll explore with you and give you ideas of what to use in your session. We’ve also partnered with a rental company so you can have access to a huge range of dresses for your photoshoot, should you wish.
When do I get to see my photographs?
No more waiting for weeks. We have your Design Consultation in the studio the same afternoon of your shoot. You will see all the beautiful images we’ve created and order your artwork. We’ll guide you on the different finishes and materials, and you’ll see it all in life size. Everything is fully guided, and you can go home with one less thing to worry about.
