A maternity photoshoot is a beautiful way to capture the anticipation and joy of welcoming a new life into your family. To capture this unique time in the best way, I generally recommend scheduling a maternity session during the third trimester, typically between 27 and 34 weeks. This timing allows for a lovely, well-rounded belly while you’re still comfortable moving around and posing for photos.
Why 27–34 Weeks?
At this stage in your pregnancy, you’ll have a noticeable bump that photographs beautifully, yet you’re less likely to feel the discomfort that often comes later in the third trimester. If you're feeling great and your belly looks exactly how you’d like, some moms-to-be also prefer waiting until around 36 weeks
Every Pregnancy is Different
Every person’s body changes at its own pace, so the best time can vary depending on how you’re feeling and when you’re most comfortable. If you’re expecting multiples or dealing with any physical discomfort, consider booking your shoot closer to 27 weeks to ensure you’re still feeling up to it.
