Sweet Mess with Msan Collective
Sweet Mess with Msan Collective
There is something quietly extraordinary about carrying new life — a softness in the way you move, a depth in your eyes that wasn't quite there before. This is a chapter that deserves to be remembered exactly as it feels.
Together with Msan Collective, we've created a space for you to simply be — unhurried, held, and seen. Their lens has spent years following families through the seasons of life, from the very first heartbeats to the ones that arrive years later. They don't just take photographs. They tell the story you'll want to return to, again and again.
Come as you are. Leave with something forever.

Things to prepare
What to wear
Clothing choices play a big role in how your photos turn out, so do take some time to plan your outfits. Choose a colour palette that compliments one another, and if your family members are joining, it's best for everyone to be colour coordinated.
The day before
Do stay hydrated and well rested before the session for a smoother experience.
On the day
Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so you have time to settle in, take a breath, and feel at ease before we begin. Eat a light meal beforehand and wear comfortable shoes to the studio — you can change when you arrive.

The session will be held at Joie by Joyours, 318 Tanglin Road Phoenix Park. The location is accessible by both bus and car, with parking slots available on site.
The ideal time is between 28 to 36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round and you're still comfortable moving around. We recommend booking early to secure your preferred date, as slots can fill up quickly.
We recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred date, especially if you have a specific week in mind during your pregnancy. Popular slots can fill up quickly, so it's best not to leave it too close to your ideal shoot window of 28 to 36 weeks.
You won't be left to figure it out on your own. Our photographer will guide you through every pose naturally — their approach is relaxed and conversational, so you'll barely feel like you're posing at all. The goal is always to capture you as you are, not how you think you should look in a photograph.
We recommend coming with outfits that feel like you — pieces you love and feel comfortable in.
Absolutely — this is your story, told your way. Whether you prefer something draped and flowing or something that celebrates your bump more boldly, you are welcome to wear whatever makes you feel most beautiful. Our photographer is female, so you can feel completely at ease throughout the session. Please note that our studio is equipped with security cameras that cover the shoot area. If you have any concerns or are unsure about outfits, our photographer is happy to advise you over WhatsApp before your session — just reach out after booking and she'll guide you through it.
We highly recommend coming to your session with makeup done — even a light, natural look makes a significant difference in how your photos turn out. If you'd like professional help, we work with a few trusted make up artists who specialises in looks that translate beautifully on camera.
Of course — personal touches make your photographs uniquely yours. Whether it's a pair of baby shoes, a meaningful keepsake, or a favourite blanket, you're welcome to bring along anything that holds significance to your family. Just let our photographer know in advance over WhatsApp so she can plan how to incorporate them beautifully into your session.
Yes — the maternity package includes up to 4 persons, so you're welcome to bring your partner, children, or anyone who is part of this chapter of your life. Do ensure everyone is dressed in coordinated, neat outfits that complement one another — it makes a big difference in how the final photos come together. If little ones are joining, a familiar snack or small toy can help keep them comfortable and at ease during the session.
We recommend that everyone joining the session comes looking and feeling their best — a light, natural look for all goes a long way in ensuring the photos look cohesive and polished. If you'd like professional makeup for the whole group, our MUA is happy to assist. Simply let us know when you reach out after booking and we'll help arrange it.
Our turnaround time is 3–4 weeks. This allows us to carefully select and edit each image, ensuring consistent quality throughout your gallery. If you need your photos sooner, a rush option is available at $100 for a 5 days turnaround after shoot date.
Every session goes through a careful culling and editing process. This means we select the strongest images and remove those that do not meet our delivery standards, such as blurred shots, closed eyes, test shots, duplicates, or otherwise unflattering images.
The number of images delivered varies depending on the session type, the flow of the session, and factors such as your baby's or child's comfort and cooperation. The estimated number of images included will always be stated in the package details.
Our focus is always on quality over quantity. Every delivered image is thoughtfully selected and professionally edited to ensure you receive the very best moments from your session.
Rest assured that we aim to return all good images captured during your session, including candid moments. Once your gallery is ready, you can choose the images that resonate most with you.
If your package includes a maximum number of delivered images and there are additional photographs that still meet our delivery standards, you may request to purchase extra images. We will first provide a proof gallery of the available images for your selection. Once you have made your choices, the additional images will be edited and uploaded to your gallery within 1–2 weeks.
For example, if your package includes 50 edited images and you would like to purchase 10 additional images, you may select 10 images from the proof gallery. These 10 images will then be edited and delivered, bringing your total gallery to 60 edited images.
We don’t provide RAW files as they are unprocessed and don’t reflect our final quality and style. We deliver all the best edited images from your session, including candid in between moments. Once your gallery is ready, you can take your time to go through it and choose the photos that resonate most with you.
Yes — beyond our studio at Joyours, we also offer outdoor and home sessions at the same package price. Simply select your preferred location when adding to cart, and we'll be in touch to coordinate the details with you.
