How Does Our Self Photo Option Work?

Read Our Detailed Guide & Prepare

Take your photos in your own time, from the comfort of your home. When you’re ready, simply follow our easy-to-use photo guide, which we’ll email to you once you’re all set to go. There’s no need to travel or book an appointment – just choose a moment that suits you.

Find a well-lit space and make sure you feel comfortable, whether standing, sitting, clothed or bare. This is your special moment, and we’re here to help you capture it beautifully.

Don’t worry if you’re unsure how to capture the best photos – we’re here to guide you through the process to ensure all the details we need are captured. The key to creating a perfect 3D model is taking a clear, steady set of photos from multiple angles, and following these simple steps will make it easy:

Stay Still: While the photos are being taken, it’s crucial to stay as still as possible. This ensures that your 3D model is accurate and smooth. You can either stand or sit comfortably – just try not to move during the photo session.

Capture a Full 360-Degree View: We recommend capturing a complete 360-degree view. This means taking photos all around you or having someone move the camera around you to capture all angles, including the front, back, sides, and slightly higher and lower positions.

Angle Variety: Start taking photos from eye level, then adjust to different angles—above, below, left, and right. This helps us capture all the curves and details of your body for a detailed model.

Lighting is Key: Natural daylight is ideal. Ensure you’re in a well-lit area with minimal shadows and avoid overly dark spots for the best result.

We’ll provide a simple guide with example photos to show exactly how to capture the images. Whether you have someone assist or use a tripod, just follow the instructions, and you’ll be all set!

Once we receive your photos, our team begins lovingly crafting your 3D model. Using specialist software and photogrammetry, we carefully shape a beautiful, lifelike digital version of you – capturing every curve, contour, and unique detail of this special time.

We know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident, so before anything is printed, we’ll send you your virtual model to preview. This gives you a chance to see it from all angles and let us know if you’d like any gentle tweaks.

Only once you’re completely happy, we move on to the next step – turning your digital keepsake into a stunning 3D-printed sculpture you’ll treasure forever.

With your approved digital model ready, we move on to the final stage: turning it into a beautiful, physical sculpture. Using high-quality 3D printing, we carefully recreate every detail with precision and care.

Once printed, your sculpture is gently sanded, polished, and hand-finished by our skilled team to create a smooth, elegant surface. The result is a timeless, lifelike piece that celebrates the beauty of your pregnancy and preserves this precious moment for years to come.

Once your sculpture is complete, we carefully package it in a soft protective bag to ensure it arrives safely. You’ll receive your beautiful, handcrafted piece delivered straight to your door, ready to be displayed and cherished.
