When to Schedule Your Maternity Shoot

Eeeek! You are expecting and want some photos to cherish this chapter of your life. I am THRILLED you’re here reading this and hope I can help answer this question. Because honestly, every photographer is different.

But it isn’t really about MY preference. I want you to be comfortable and able to move & groove when we’re together. So 39 weeks might be a little too late haha! Most expecting mamas that I’ve worked with have scheduled their photoshoot for between 30-36 weeks (this falls between months 7 & 8 of pregnancy). Having your maternity session during this window *typically* is the most flattering as your bump is the roundest!

This is JUST a guideline, though. As your maternity photographer, I’m here to talk through scheduling with you! Your pregnancy is likely much different than Paige’s (pictured above). If your doctor has talked about the possibility of an early delivery, then maybe we want to look at an earlier window of your pregnancy!

The beauty of these sessions is that they are catered directly to your needs. This is such an exciting time in your life and I want to capture it, bottle it up and create moments & memories that you can look back on forever.

If you’re ready to book your maternity session, contact me today and we can get to planning! OH and if you’ve read this blog post and are wanting to book, be sure to mention in your inquiry form the code ‘MATERNITY50’ for $50 off your session as a thank you to visiting my blog!!
