When’s the Perfect Time for Your Maternity Photoshoot?

Pregnancy is one of life’s most beautiful adventures — full of excitement, anticipation, and that incredible glow that deserves to be celebrated! A maternity photoshoot is your chance to pause and soak in all that magic before baby makes their grand entrance. But one question comes up again and again: When’s the best time to schedule it?

Let’s find that sweet spot! 

The Golden Window: 28 to 34 Weeks

For most expecting moms, this is the prime time to step into the studio. By this stage, your bump has that perfect, round shape that looks absolutely stunning in photos — and you’re usually still feeling comfortable enough to move, pose, and enjoy every minute. It’s the moment where your pregnancy glow truly takes center stage (and trust me, the camera loves it!).

A Little Sooner or Later? That Works Too!

Every pregnancy is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. If you’re expecting multiples, you might want to come in a bit earlier — closer to 26–30 weeks — since your bump will be beautifully pronounced sooner. If you’re feeling fantastic and want to wait until 35 or 36 weeks, we can absolutely do that too!

The Best Time Is When You Feel Amazing

Here’s the real secret: the best session happens when you feel your best. Whether that’s during the early third trimester or closer to your due date, our cozy studio is designed to help you relax, feel beautiful, and celebrate this special chapter in style. From flattering lighting to curated gowns and backdrops, we’ll make sure your photos feel timeless and elegant.


No matter when you book, your maternity photos are all about celebrating you — your strength, your beauty, and your growing love story. Let’s make some studio magic together!
