The Best Time to Book Your Maternity Session
(+ Location Ideas & Easy Tips!)
Pregnancy is such a fleeting and beautiful chapter—your body is growing life, and that’s worth celebrating. A maternity photoshoot is the perfect way to capture the glow, emotion, and excitement before baby arrives. But when should you book?
Let’s break it down…
When to Book Your Maternity Session
The best time for your maternity session is between 28–34 weeks. Your bump is usually round and visible, but you’re still comfortable enough to move and pose.
Expecting twins or multiples? Aim for 24–28 weeks, since babies may arrive a little earlier.
Pro tip: Book your session during your second trimester to make sure you get your ideal date!
