Isabel Oli


Isabel Oli described the maternity shoot as “one for the books.”

Since the announcement in March, soon-to-be-parents-of-three Isabel Oli and John Prats have slowly been preparing for its birth very soon given the fact that the former is set to deliver in July.

But with the coronavirus pandemic still upon us, the celebrity couple showed that a little imagination and resourcefulness can come in handy when it comes to the most-awaited maternity shoot.

In a post made by Isabel and John on their Instagram accounts, the two shared that the maternity shoot was made possible at the comfort of their own house garage.

Isabel wrote, “Definitely one for the books! I will certainly treasure this in my heart forever (not just me but our little Pratty who's in the way).

“We did our maternity shoot in our garage. My husband @johnprats and my sissy @naomiprats took the photos. I did my makeup and hair. Say, teamwork.”

While the shoot was special in its own way, it was the people, according to Isabel, who made it all the more extraordinary.

“I'm so used to having my own glam team, stylist, photographer, and studio. So imagine how overwhelmed we were while doing the shoot, but it was all worth it. I would say that it made it all the more special --- doing it with people who matter to me.”

Prolly definitely one for the books. Will certainly treasure this in my heart forever. (Not just me but our little Pratty who's on the way 😍) Consider this a part of the new norm, but I'm really praying and hoping for change and miracle. Instead of idly waiting for the medicine and vaccine of COVID 19, we have a choice to be creative and productive, right? And this is us, the Pratties, squeezing our creative juices to make this photoshoot come to happen. Anyway, we did our maternity shoot in our garage. My husband @johnprats and my sissy @naomiprats took the photos. I did my makeup and hair. Say, teamwork!!!😂 I'm so used to having my own glam team, stylist, photographer and studio. So imagine how ovewhelmed we were while the doing the shoot, but it was all worth it. I would say that it made it all the more special - doing it with people who matter to me. So going to share with you some photos my hubby and sissy took. ☺️ And yes, I know, some of you will comment on my big tummy but please, spare me the bashing. ☺️ OB said baby #3 and I are healthy, normal and doing okay. 😊 Huge shoutout to @flourishandfrills who styled and did everything beautiful. Made our garage look magical!☺️ And @larosanovia for making me like a super girly momma! Beautiful robe by the way!!!☺️ #PreggyLiv #35weeks 🤰🏻👶🏼 #MaternityShoot

For his part, John also shared a couple of photos from the shoot and shared how he's grateful to be able to give a proper maternity shoot for his wife and future child.

“Kahit papaano may magandang shoot kami para sa 3rd baby bamin and sa malaking moment na 'to sa pamilya namin.

“Salamat Lord God for keeping us safe.”
