Pregnancy is a time of anticipation, excitement, and transformation. A maternity photography session is the perfect way to capture the beauty of this incredible journey. But when is the best time to schedule your session? I recommend booking between 30 and 35 weeks gestation—here’s why!
1. Your Baby Bump is Beautifully Defined
By the third trimester, your belly has grown into that perfect, round shape, making it an ideal time for maternity portraits. At 30-35 weeks, your bump is prominent and well-proportioned, creating a flattering and natural silhouette in photos.
2. You’re Still Comfortable and Mobile
As exciting as the final weeks of pregnancy are, they can also be exhausting. Waiting too long for your maternity session (past 36-37 weeks) can make posing more challenging. At 30-35 weeks, you’ll still have the energy to move comfortably, try different poses, and truly enjoy the experience.
3. Less Risk of Baby Arriving Early
Every pregnancy is unique, and some little ones decide to make an early entrance! By scheduling your maternity photos earlier in the third trimester, you reduce the risk of missing out on the session altogether.
4. More Time to Plan for Your Maternity Photos
Booking your maternity photos at 30-35 weeks gives you time to plan the details, whether it’s selecting a stunning gown, choosing an outdoor location, or coordinating with your partner and family. I’ll guide you through the process to ensure you feel confident and prepared.
5. A Relaxed and Enjoyable Experience
A maternity session should be a time to celebrate this special chapter of your life. Whether we’re capturing you in a flowing gown by a sunlit creek or in the cozy setting of my Doylestown studio, the focus is on making you feel radiant and at ease.
What to Wear for Your Maternity Session
Flowy dresses or fitted gowns that highlight your bump beautifully.
Soft, neutral tones or rich jewel colors, depending on your style.
Simple accessories to keep the focus on your natural glow.
If your partner or older children are joining, choose complementary outfits for a cohesive look.
Final Thoughts
Maternity photography is about celebrating you, your strength, and the incredible life you’re creating. Booking your session between 30 and 35 weeks ensures the best experience—both in how you feel and how your images turn out.
