Bump, Newborn & First Year

Maternity Photoshoot in Bangkok
From the Bump to the First Birthday

Each stage has a window that closes. The bump in those final weeks, the curled-up sleep of the newborn days, the cake going everywhere at one year old. You can photograph the whole first-year story with us, or just the stage you're in right now.

We take the time to catch what's actually happening. The way your partner looks at you and the bump. Your toddler giggling halfway through. The small expressions you almost miss in real time.

Real Bangkok Families,
Bump to First Birthday

One Photographer, Every Stage

Your Maternity Photographer in Bangkok,
Before and After the Birth

We've spent years shooting bumps, newborns, and first birthdays across this city, which means we know what to do when a baby fusses, when a toddler hides, and when a mom needs to sit down for a minute. The same photographer stays with your story from planning through the final gallery.

Booking the whole chapter with us has a practical benefit: your bump session, your newborn session, and your cake smash come back looking like one body of work instead of three unrelated sets. Plenty of families book them one at a time as they go.

What's included in every session:

  • A chat before the day to plan outfits, location, and timing
  • Direction throughout so you never have to know how to pose
  • Full editing on every delivered image
  • A private gallery link
  • Flexible rescheduling when babies decide otherwise

Safety stays non-negotiable with newborns. We sanitize equipment between sessions, keep handling gentle and supported, and use composite methods for any pose that needs extra head or neck support.

What We Cover

Four Stages, One Photographer

Book whichever stage you're in. Each one runs on the same three packages, so you can mix and match as your family grows.

30–36 weeks · 24–30 for twins

The Bump

The sweet spot is 30 to 36 weeks, when the bump is well defined and you can still move easily. A 28-week bump and a 36-week bump need different angles and support, so we plan posing around your stage rather than a fixed shot list.

  • Solo bump portraits with flowing fabrics and soft late-afternoon light
  • Couple frames that include both partners
  • Silhouettes and graphic, fine-art bump frames
  • Gender reveals with confetti, smoke, balloons, or your own twist
  • An intimate maternity shoot in Bangkok, staying entirely in your own home or hotel suite

If you practise, we also shoot prenatal yoga sessions in the city's green spaces, and you're welcome to bring your own instructor.

Birth · First 2 weeks

Newborn

For the curled-up, sleepy look, a newborn photoshoot in Bangkok is usually best in the first two weeks. Later sessions work just as well up to three months, with a more alert baby and a different feel.

As a lifestyle newborn photographer in Bangkok, we shoot mostly at your place, around feeds and naps, rather than working through a rigid set of props. Sibling frames happen in short bursts with breaks between, which keeps everyone calm.

If you want the delivery itself covered, we also work as a birth photographer in Bangkok. We take a small number of due dates each month and go on call from 38 weeks, so tell us early if you want it. Hospital permission is arranged by you in advance, and we quote it separately from the packages below.

3–11 months

Baby & Milestones

A baby photoshoot in Bangkok during the sitting-up and crawling months catches a personality that didn't exist a few weeks earlier. These sessions are short by design and run entirely at your baby's pace.

Older brothers and sisters are welcome. We can run a children photoshoot in Bangkok alongside the baby portraits, so siblings get their own frames as well, and we direct kids of any age so nothing feels stiff.

Around 12 months

First Birthday & Cake Smash

A cake smash photoshoot in Bangkok gives the birthday kid a small cake and lets them go at it. We agree on a color theme, set a clean backdrop, and let them explore. Most sessions finish with bath-time frames, because frosting goes everywhere.

  • A clean-backdrop studio in Bangkok, fully air-conditioned
  • Or at home and on location, if you'd rather have your own space in frame
  • Family frames while everyone is already dressed and together
Client Stories

What Bangkok Families
Are Saying

We were nervous about our newborn session, but the experience really showed. They were patient with our baby girl, and careful with her the whole way through, which put us at ease as new parents. They worked around feeding times without any rush.

Ines Moreau France

They documented our family from my bump through our son's first birthday cake smash. The relaxed approach captured genuine moments instead of stiff poses. So happy to have these real images saved for life.

Kai Jun Lim Singapore

Jay photographed my bump at 33 weeks in Benchakitti Park. He chose a shady path, gave me water breaks and kept the cues simple. My husband hates cameras, and he loved the photos too.

Emma UK

Tell us your due date or your baby's age and we'll take it from there.

Investment

One Set of Packages,
Whatever the Stage

Sessions start from 11,000 THB. Bump, newborn, baby, and cake smash sessions all run on the same three tiers. Location counts are a ceiling, not a target: with a newborn we usually stay in one place the whole time.

About 1 hour

Sabai Session

11kTHB / $330

For families who want it done well without the fuss

  • Up to 200 edited imagesMost 1-hour sessions deliver at least 100 edited images. The final count depends on the locations and variety of shots. If you'd rather have a curated selection of the 10 to 20 best images, we can make it for you.
  • Up to 2 Bangkok locationsWe plan locations in the same area, so travel between them is usually 5 to 15 minutes and most of your time goes into shooting.
  • 7 to 12 different photo spotsA location is a separate place we travel between. A spot is one setup inside it: a doorway, a staircase, a stretch of railing. One location usually gives several spots.
  • Up to 3 looks, in your own outfitsOptional. Most people shoot in one outfit. If you'd like more looks, this is the total, including the one you arrive in. Changes happen within your session time. We don't provide outfits.
  • Standard 3-day delivery through a private gallery linkYour full edited gallery arrives within 3 days through a private link. Sanook and Sawasdee include express 24-hour delivery instead. Here you can add it for 2k THB / $60.

Your Photographer

Who Will Photograph You

One photographer stays with your family for the whole session, and you can ask for the same person at every stage. Our team has run 1,250+ sessions since 2021. Read more about each Lukfoto photographer.

Bump, newborn, families · English, Russian

Jay

Jay has been behind the camera since 2018 and spent his first three years as a photojournalist. That taught him to wait for real moments: a partner's glance, a toddler's giggle.

His cues are calm and simple, which helps if this is your first shoot. He watches how light falls on a face, so he plans bump sessions around soft late-afternoon light and shade.

Female photographer · Thai, English, Mandarin

Kitsana

If you would feel more relaxed with a woman behind the camera, ask for Jami or Kitsana. Kitsana comes from documentary work and reporting for Business Insider.

She notices the small details of your home and family life, which suits newborn sessions at your place. She also shoots on film.

Sessions Across the City,
On Your Terms

Our documentary approach focuses on the unguarded moments that make your family feel like yours. We work mostly in natural light so the images stay soft and timeless instead of trendy. Knowing this city helps too. From Lumphini Park's gardens to Benchakitti Park's skyline views, we know the corners most lists never mention.

We also come to you. If you'd rather be at home, we'll guide you through poses that feel right in your own space. If you'd rather be out in the city, we plan around late-afternoon light and shaded spots so the heat doesn't drain you.

How a typical session runs:

  1. We chat about your due date or your baby's age, the mood you want, and any cultural touches.
  2. We pick the setting: your home, a location in the city, or an indoor studio.
  3. We schedule for late afternoon when the light is softer and the heat is usually easier to manage.
  4. We direct the session with clear, easy cues so nothing feels stiff.
  5. You receive your gallery within 3 days, or 24 hours on the express packages.

Thailand's climate shapes the plan as much as the light does. Sessions start once the harsh midday sun has softened, water breaks are frequent, and we keep an indoor option in mind if the weather turns. If rain stops a session out in the city outright, you can cancel or move it and your deposit comes back in full.

Family Sessions Bangkok Studio
Indoor Option

A Maternity Studio Photoshoot in Bangkok?
That Works Too

The heat here is no joke, and not every baby or toddler handles being out in it. Some newborns sleep better in a controlled indoor setting, some little ones get fussy in humidity, and some moms simply feel more relaxed inside.

For those families we book a studio in Bangkok. A studio session is the package plus the room, from 11,850 THB: 11,000 THB for the Sabai Session plus room rental from 850 THB per hour. The rooms are fully air-conditioned, with clean controlled lighting and a quiet space with no traffic noise or hard sunlight. The same relaxed direction carries over to the studio.

The studio is often the better choice when:

  • Your newborn is under 3 weeks old and needs warmth and quiet for those curled-up sleepy frames
  • It's the hot season in April or May and afternoons in the city feel too intense
  • Your toddler does better in a quiet, contained space than out in the heat
  • You want a clean, neutral backdrop instead of a park or city setting
  • Privacy matters and you'd rather not pose in public

Sessions out in the city have their own strengths: atmosphere, natural light, a sense of place. The studio has comfort, control, and consistency. Neither is better, and you can split a session between both if your package allows.

FAQ

Your Questions Answered

Bump sessions work best at 30 to 36 weeks, or 24 to 30 weeks for twins, so book during the second trimester. Newborns look sleepiest in the first 2 weeks, and sessions still work up to 3 months. Message us before the birth so we can hold a flexible window around your due date.

11,000 THB for the 1-hour Sabai Session, 19,000 THB for the 2-hour Sanook Photoshoot, and 34,000 THB for the 4-hour Sawasdee Deluxe, all with full editing. A studio session is the package plus room rental from 850 THB per hour. Hair and makeup at your place start from 4,000 THB.

Standard delivery is 3 days, while Sanook Photoshoot and Sawasdee Deluxe include express 24-hour delivery (2,000 THB extra on Sabai Session). Sabai Session gives up to 200 edited images, Sanook Photoshoot up to 400, and Sawasdee Deluxe usually 700 to 1,200.

We sanitize our equipment between sessions and keep handling gentle and supported. Any pose that needs extra head or neck support is made as a composite of safer frames.

Flowing fabrics in solid colours suit afternoon light best. Avoid busy patterns and anything tight enough to leave marks on your skin. We send a styling guide once you book.

Yes. We can book a fully air-conditioned studio with quiet, controlled light, which suits newborns under 3 weeks and the hot months of April and May. Many families shoot the newborn stage indoors and go outside later.

If rain stops an outdoor session, you can cancel or move it and your deposit is refunded in full. For other reasons, give us at least 48 hours notice and we move your deposit to a new date. Newborn dates stay flexible either way.

Jay, Jami or Kitsana can shoot your session, and you choose: Jay works in English or Russian, Jami in English or Hindi, and Kitsana in Thai, English and Mandarin. If you prefer a female photographer, ask for Jami or Kitsana.
