LOOK: Neri Naig's simple and pretty maternity shoot
"Wala akong stylist, yung nagmake up sa akin, friend ko lang, tapos yung damit ko nabili ko lang sa ukay. Gusto ko yung mga simpleng kuha lang. Yung pang normal na tao lang."
A month before she's set to give birth to a baby boy, Neri Naig commissioned a simple, relaxed maternity shoot right in the home she shares with husband, Parokya ni Edgar frontman Chito Miranda.
Nice Print Photography described the shoot as easy, fun, and relaxed---just the way Neri likes it.

Neri shared some photos from the shoot, commending her photographers for keeping it simple. She also took time to describe her outfits.
"Kanya kanyang trip kung gustong bago o nabili na dati, branded o galing ukay ang mga gustong suotin," she wrote, adding that although she buys branded things, she prefers to share her bargains on social media. "Mas pinipili ko lang mag post ng kung saan ako mas nakakatipid kase nakakatuwa eh. Kumbaga naibabahagi ko sa ibang tao yung way ko ng pagtitipid."

She also shared how husbands have even thanked her through social media for how her "Wais na Misis" posts have helped their wives."Nakakatuwa talaga at nakakataba ng puso," wrote Neri. "Nasabi ko na din dati sa mga old posts ko at sa blog ko kung gaano ako kagastos before kaya nakakatuwa na nakaka ipon ako at nakakatipid."
In the same post, Neri confided in her followers how some netizens have even criticized her for buying branded and brand new things for their baby, accusing her of putting on a falsely humble image.
"Sila ang affected. Naku, mas grabe pa siguro kapag pinanganak ko na si baby, haha! Kumusta kaya mga buhay buhay ng mga 'to? I hope mas gawin pa nilang positibo ang environment nila," lamented the expectant mom. "Buti na lang napaka-positive ng pananaw ko sa buhay at tinatawanan na lang yung mga ganyan. As long as wala akong ginagawang masama sa ibang tao, pera ko ang tinitipid ko at ginagastos ko... patuloy pa rin akong mag spread ng good vibes sa lahat."

Unlike the shoot, her pregnancy hasn't been an easy breezy. Neri shared how the constant monitoring of her blood sugar has been a struggle due to her fear of needles. Her pregnancy has also been made more delicate by her past miscarriage.
Despite this, Neri chooses to remain positive. "Yung iba feeling nila, napaka OA na ng happiness at positivity ko sa buhay. Mas gusto ko naman yung attitude kong ganito. May choice tayo. At ang choice ko ay maging happy at laging mag spread ng good vibes. Makikita naman sa aura naming mag-asawa," she wrote, clarifying that the goal of her social media posts is not to get people to like them as a couple.
"Kung di nyo kami trip, wala kaming magagawa dun," she emphasized, adding that they're not trying to impress anyone. "Kaya nga napakasimple ng buhay namin eh, walang kumplikasyon. Sarap sarap kaya ng maging masaya at nagmamahal at minamahal ka. Sarap ng life! Masaya!"

"Wala akong stylist, yung nagmake up sa akin, friend ko lang, tapos yung damit ko nabili ko lang sa ukay. Gusto ko yung mga simpleng kuha lang. Yung pang normal na tao lang," explained Neri.
"Hindi ko naman kase bagay yung pang glamorosa. Ayaw ko ipilit din ang di ko bagay, hehe! Gusto ko din i-share sa inyo na hindi nyo kailangang gumastos ng mahal para sa maternity shoot," she shared. "Kuha lang kayo ng magaling na photographer at make up artist. Mas maganda kung mga kaibigan nyo para free o kaya makadiscount ka."

"Isang buwan na lang! Ilang linggo na lang! Ilang araw na lang! Lapit naaaaaaaaa! Sobrang excited na kami ng tatay mo na makita ka, anak ko! Mahal na mahal ka namin, sobra sobra!" gushed the mom-to-be.
