When Should I Book My Maternity Photoshoot?

when should take maternity photos

The best time to take your maternity photos is typically anytime between 28-34 weeks pregnancy. There are many factors to consider. Here are a few things to consider about when to book your maternity photoshoot.

  1. We want you to have a bump: The whole point of this photoshoot is to capture your beautiful pregnant belly! Be sure to schedule it accordingly. If it is your first pregnancy, you likely won’t be showing as much until a little later in your pregnancy. If this is your second or third pregnancy, you will likely be showing much earlier.

  2. We want you to be comfortable: I suggest between 28-34 weeks pregnant because that is typically long enough to be able to have a good size baby bump, but not waiting too long to where you become too uncomfortable or swollen!

  3. We want you to feel beautiful: With our wardrobe selection, planning consultation, and hair and makeup, we are setting you up for success to feel so beautiful the day of your photoshoot. If for some reason you still have areas you are self conscious about, please let me know so I can help address them with lighting, posing, and last but not least post production! My goal is to help you look back at the images with fond memories and realize what a miracle pregnancy really is!

It’s best to reach out in your first or second trimester so that we can be sure to have room for you on our photoshoot schedule! If you have any other questions for me, please reach out here so we can get you scheduled for a consultation!

Reach out here to book your newborn photoshoot! And don’t forget to plan ahead, as the best time to take these images is within the babies first two weeks!
