Welcoming a little life is such an exciting time. Scheduling your maternity session at the right time van make all the difference in how your photos come out and how you feel during the session. Here’s a few tips on when to book your maternity session to make the most of this special occasion.

The Ideal Time Frame: 28 to 36 Weeks

The best time to schedule your maternity photoshoot is generally between 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. During this period, your belly will have a lovely, full shape that’s perfect for photographs, but you won’t be too uncomfortable to enjoy the experience. Here’s a breakdown of why this window works so well:

Prominent Baby Bump: By the third trimester, your baby bump is beautifully round and prominent, making it an ideal focal point for maternity photos.
Comfort: While every pregnancy is different, most expectant mothers still feel relatively comfortable and mobile up until around 36 weeks. After this point, physical discomfort might increase, and you might not feel as inclined to participate in a photoshoot.
Avoiding Last-Minute Surprises: Booking your session between 28 and 36 weeks helps you avoid the risk of an early delivery. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your session is scheduled well before your due date.

Booking your maternity session in a natural light studio is also a great idea! Specially during the summer months. Read my blog on natural studios here.
