			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been fun shooting indoor maternity sessions, but I&#8217;ve been yearning for something different. then as luck would have it, I have an enquiry for fun &amp; outdoorsy styled maternity session!<br />
Nasreen &amp; Peter contacted me for a maternity portrait session during their trip back to Malaysia to have their child here. She&#8217;s already on her 37th week when we did the session. I salute her for her all her energy &amp; patience to still pose for me! It was an extremely fun session with Peter being an awesome model &amp; at the same time, class clown.</p>
<p>Enjoy the pictures below. I sure had tons of fun taking them!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is for sure one of my favorite session I have done this year. Kathey and me have discussed &amp; spoken about this maternity photo session for some months now, waiting for her bump to be more prominent to be showcased in the photos.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Instead of just a normal maternity photoshoot, we got together with a Henna (or Innai) artist to arrange for the a Henna session. It&#39;s an ancient tradition in some cultures to apply Henna on the belly near the end of a pregnancy to safeguard the baby &amp; mommy during childbirth, &amp; other mystical powers such as protecting against evils spirits <img src='http://www.aaronkok.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  She did it cause she&#39;s a hip mom-to-be.</p>
<p>Here&#39;s some of the selected shots from the day. </p>
