I like to shoot maternity sessions when mom-to-be is 6-8 months along. Have I shot outside this range? Yes! But this estimate tends to be the sweet spot of a woman's pregnancy journey when it comes to photos. Baby bump is round in all its glory, and pregnancy glow is radiant. Mom-to-be is still able to walk, sit, and pose comfortably. Plus, I have had many expecting moms put on bedrest or even deliver their baby early after we hit that 8 month mark. The later in your pregnancy, the greater the risk of complications or rush deliveries.
Every pregnancy is different! You may have your own unique reasons why it would be best to shoot earlier or later, which we will discuss together as team upon your booking. The key is to get it on the calendar, because this isn't a milestone you want to miss!
