For Your Inspiration: The Recent Celebrity Maternity Shoots We Loved

Isabel Oli

The joy and excitement of motherhood remain the same no matter how many kids a mommy welcomes into her life. For Isabel Oli, wife to John Prats and super mom to daughter Feather and son Freedom, this couldn't be more true as they wait for the arrival of their third child. She announced that she was expecting in March and will give birth in July.

To celebrate the special milestone, Isabel became the star of an even more special maternity shoot (this photo was one of the many taken). It wasn't done in a studio, however; this whole set up was done in her home garage with her husband and sister-in-law, Naomi, as well as event stylists Flourish & Frills pitching in to achieve the look! She called it a great display of teamwork, but more than that, it was a lovely showcase of the love in the Prats family that will soon be shared with their littlest member who's on the way.

Here's another take shared by proud dad John. Isabel did her own hair and makeup for the shoot, too!

Kryz Uy

While we're used to seeing Kryz pose for photos in beautiful settings, this one is definitely one for the books as it holds a hundred and one memories. She and her husband, Slater Young, enjoyed a maternity shoot that features bare essentials yet is still stylish and meaningful. They welcomed their baby boy, Scott Knoa, last June 2.

She shares another photo of her and Slater, one of the last ones of them taken together as husband and wife, before they officially became mom and dad, too.

This outdoor, sunny layout looks so simple yet chic too!

Cristalle Belo-Pitt

It's baby number two for Cristalle Belo and Justin Pitt! Already a mom to Hunter who turned two this year, Cristalle was all smiles when she gave birth to her daughter, Siena, in April. This photo was taken during one of her maternity shoots with her family, with this particular shot highlighting Hunter who would soon become a big brother.

The mother and son duo also had another layout, where Cristalle is in a more formal outfit that stylishly showcases her baby bump.

The husband and wife also had their own time in front of the camera, with a sexy, classy concept shoot.

For her second pregnancy, Cristalle also had one of her mommy dreams come true: enjoy a milk bath maternity shoot! Here she is doing just that, soaking in a nourishing bath while lovingly cradling her belly.

Anne Curtis-Smith

Looking back at Anne Curtis' journey, she honored her body that remained strong for her and her baby Dahlia Amélie throughout her pregnancy. She chose to highlight her changing figure and how it wasn't simply indicative of purely physical change, but of a spiritual one, too, by becoming a vessel of new life for the very first time. For Mother's Day, she posted these black and white before and after photos.

Here is one of the first photos Anne shared of her pregnancy journey. She released photos from her maternity shoot in time for her birthday last February and captioned them with "Birthday Suit." She gave birth to her and Erwan Heussaff's daugher Dahlia last March.

Regine Tolentino

Regine Tolentino sure knows how to make coming motherhood look like a time in a woman's life when she feels her best. As she learned that she was expecting for the third time last year, Regine made sure to immortalize this pregnancy with a dramatic black and white shoot. But that's not all she had up her sleeve...

...she also injected a sense of humor into the experience by contrasting an old photo with one where she was pregnant and donning the same accessories. "Now and then" and "expectation versus expecting" were some of the things she labeled the image with. She gave birth to daughter Rosie last April 6.

Coleen Garcia

The creativity award for gender reveals definitely goes to Coleen Garcia and Billy Crawford for surprising their fans via a live streamed gender reveal party held last month that came with a witty hashtag: #BabyCisaHe! The celeb couple revealed that they were parents-to-be in May, and a month after, Coleen shared snaps from her fitness-inspired maternity shoot.

Staying physically fit and mentally strong has always played a big part in Coleen's life, so it makes total sense for her to have picked this theme for a once-in-a-lifetime shoot! There's also the fact that spiritual strength, which she often references, is needed in these times when a global health crisis makes the future uncertain.

Previously, Coleen also shared a super unique concept for a different maternity shoot during her baby's gender reveal. Using only her arms as cover, she left her belly bare and had her sonogram projected onto her. She also wore blue lipstick to share the big news: that a son was on the way!

Solenn Heussaff

Solenn Heussaff and Nico Bolzico's baby Thylane was born on January 1st, making it one heck of a New Year's Day for these first-time parents. But in the months leading up to that, Solenn was the subject of a striking Mexican-themed maternity shoot where she dressed up in bold outfits, even getting dolled up to transform into feminist icon Frida Kahlo.

Here are more shots from Solenn's Mexican-inspired shoot as well as another maternity photo session that's fashionable and edgy...

These black and white before and after photos are particularly stunning.

We're obsessed with how effortlessly stylish Ryza's maternity shoot is. Her androgynous outfits complement her new edgy hairstyle.

Dianne Medina

Dianne Medina and her husband Rodjun Cruz announced that they're parents-to-be last April. Last month, they held a gender reveal party via Zoom, where they shared that they're going to welcome a baby boy soon! And recently, Dianne shared photos from her maternity shoot that was done at home.

One layout shows her in an outdoor setting, dressed up in a matching nude dress and face mask, which she captioned with "the new normal maternity shoot."

Rodjun joined Dianne in the shoot, too, and the happiness on the dad-to-be's face is evident as he hugs her baby bump.

The couple also gamely posed for the camera in their living room. This one's an easy-to-do concept for couples who are planning to do a DIY maternity shoot now considering the limitations set by the quarantine rules and regulations and the safety issues surrounding COVID-19.
