Selecting the right time for your maternity photoshoot is crucial. I typically recommend you try and schedule your session when you are around 28-34 weeks. Here’s why I think this window is ideal:

• Visible Belly: Generally by this time your belly is pretty round. This make for stunning photos that show off your bump.

• Comfort: You’re also still likely comfortable enough to move around and try different poses without too much difficulty or discomfort.

• Energy Levels: You’ll also have more energy compared to later on in your pregnancy, making the photoshoot more enjoyable for you.

Now, these are just a few reasons why I recommend this time frame, however every pregnancy is unique. So, if you’re expecting twins or triplets or have specific medical considerations, it’s essential to discuss with your photographer to find the best time for your shoot so you are still comfortable and can have your vision brought to life. Ultimately, you get to decide when you want your photoshoot so pick the time that works best for you.
