You're pregnant and dreaming of a maternity photoshoot

and you're also wondering when to set the date?

You're not alone in this!


One of the most common doubt expectant mothers have is, "When is the best time to schedule my maternity session?"

While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, we typically recommend aiming for 29th and 33rd weeks of pregnancy. Why this timeframe, you may wonder? Around this time, the baby bump is beautifully prominent, creating a stunning visual centerpiece for your photos.


Most expecting mothers tend to feel more comfortable during this stage of pregnancy, making it an enjoyable and relaxed photoshoot experience. Additionally, photographers like Barbara recommend scheduling your photoshoot during this period to ensure you capture this special moment, just in case the baby decides to arrive earlier than expected. Furthermore, during the last weeks of pregnancy, it's common to experience more swelling and fatigue than before.


However, it's essential to remember that pregnancy journeys are as unique as the individuals experiencing them, even the same person can have different experiences from one pregnancy to another. What works perfectly for one person may not be the ideal timing for another. Some may prefer to schedule their session earlier for many reasons, especially if it's their second pregnancy, as the bump seems to appear faster than before. While others may opt to wait longer to capture the most of it!


Ultimately, the best time for your maternity shoot is when you feel confident, comfortable and ready to embrace this special moment in your life. Whether you're glowing at 27 weeks or at 35 weeks, trust your instincts and choose a timing that feels right for you.
