Maternity Session Tips – when to schedule your session

One of the questions I get asked most often is: “when should my maternity session take place?”

The best time to have your maternity photos taken is when you are around 28-36 weeks (7 or 8 months). You want your belly to be big enough to be seen when sitting or laying down, but still be comfortable enough to move around. If you are a first time mom and not really showing yet, I would recommend booking the session around 32 weeks. If you are having multiples, you’ll have to do your session earlier, around 6 months (before 24 weeks). I know for my own twin pregnancy, I was done like dinner around 18 weeks, and *just* managed to stand up long enough for my maternity session at 20 weeks. Ahh – memories! haha!
