Bump Sculptures – What to Expect
Welcome!
I’m so excited to create something beautiful with you. Here’s exactly what you can expect during your Baby Belly Sculpture experience:
Booking Your Session
-
Sessions are best done at 30-36 weeks, though is just a guide.
-
When you select your appointment, a completed booking form and a $50 deposit are required to secure your spot. Full payment isn't required until about 8 weeks after your appointment.
-
Once your deposit is paid, your booking is secure and it's time to get excited!
Your Appointment
-
When you arrive, we’ll start with a warm meet and greet.
-
We’ll chat about pose ideas to make sure you feel comfortable and confident.
-
The scan result is best when you are nude, but you are welcome to wear a seamless nude g-string, and you can cover your bust with your hands or arms. We will talk through this all before removing the robe so you are comfortable.
-
I have beautiful robes available for you to wear while we practice the poses, or you can bring your own!
-
Once you’re ready, you’ll remove the robe and hold your chosen pose while I use scanner to slowly move myself around you to capture your gorgeous bump - similar to taking a video.
-
(You’ll need to stay as still as possible during the scan.)
-
After the scan, you can pop your robe back on, and together we'll review the scan on my computer so you can see what we have capture.
-
If you’re happy with it — perfect! You can get dressed and we chat options.
-
If we feel a rescan is needed, we’ll redo it until you're 100% happy.
-
After Your Session
-
Once your scan is finalised, we’ll talk through finishing options.
-
Your final sculpture is lovingly crafted in stone giving it a beautiful mix of strength, earthiness and timeless beauty. — a process that takes approx 8 weeks to complete, allowing time for perfect drying and finishing. I finish it by hand, smoothing edges and applying your chosen colour and finish.
Each sculpture takes time, care, and craftsmanship — the result is a lasting heirloom, created just for you.

I’ll let you know as soon as your sculpture is ready for collection or delivery!
-
You’ll have a truly timeless piece ready to cherish forever.

Bump Sculpture – Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a session?
Via www.firstdays.co.nz, and navigating to the bump sculptures page. Or click here
Where does the session take place?
My home in Halcombe, or at a pop-up location closer to you (if one is available).
How do I prepare for the session?
-
Wear loose fitting clothing before the appointment to avoid any skin lines/marks.
-
Make sure you have something to eat and drink
What happens at the session?
-
We'll meet, greet and chat, then you’ll change out of clothes, and into a robe
-
We chat about your pose ideas, and practice together while you wear a robe.
-
Once you’re ready, you’ll remove the robe and I’ll take a 3D scan of you in your pose. This involves me walking right around you a couple of times with a small device which is similar to a regular camera, and which captures thousands of images of you to make you into a 3D image.
-
After scanning, we’ll review the result together to make sure you love it. If not, we’ll simply rescan until it’s perfect.
What will I wear?
-
The scan is best done in the nude. That said, you are welcome to wear a nude, seamless g-string. I have these available if required. You can have your chest covered or uncovered (by your hands/arms).
How long does the scan take?
The scanning process itself is very quick — usually only a few minutes — but we’ll take our time setting up and ensuring you’re fully comfortable beforehand. Usually 1 hour.
What should I bring?
-
A water bottle is a must. The room is kept very warm so you are comfortable, plus, modelling is hard work, right!
-
A hair tie and/or clips. Your hair needs to be completely tied up and off your neck
-
You are welcome to bring a partner or a buddy. Just make sure you are comfortable with them seeing you topless/nude!
What happens after the session?
-
We’ll finalize your finishing options
-
Your sculpture will then be crafted in stone — a process that takes approximately 6–8 weeks to complete.
When will my sculpture be ready?
-
Your sculpture will be ready in approximately 6-8 weeks. I will contact you as soon as it is finished!
