When to Schedule Your Maternity Photography Session: A Timeline for Expecting Parents

Maternity photos are a beautiful way to celebrate your pregnancy and the journey to parenthood. But when should you book your session to get the most flattering and comfortable photos? Here’s a timeline to help you plan.

The Best Time for Maternity Photos

The ideal time to schedule your maternity session is between 28-34 weeks, or in months 7-8. During this period, your baby bump is beautifully round, and you’re still comfortable enough to enjoy the experience. Waiting too long may result in not feeling your best or putting it off till the very end of your pregnancy may mean baby comes before you get a chance to have your session.

When to Book Your Maternity Session

Since maternity sessions are best scheduled in the early third trimester, it’s recommended to book in your second trimester. This ensures availability and gives us time to plan the perfect session.
