30-35 weeks is usually the best window for maternity photos, but it doesn’t have to be exact. Listen to your body and plan around how you’re feeling.

30-35 weeks is usually the sweet spot for maternity photos, but it’s not a hard rule. Some people feel great at 35 weeks, while some prefer to do it much earlier. I’d rather plan around how you’re actually feeling than try to hit a perfect week.

If you’re due this summer and want to plan your session, now’s the time to reach out.

If you’re due this summer, here’s a general timing guideline for when you should take your maternity photos:

When I show up for a newborn session, there’s no expectation for what should be happening—your baby can be asleep, awake, eating… their needs come first and then we take things one step at a time. I want this to be an enjoyable l, relaxing experience for everyone. There’s no rush, and your baby is perfect just as they are.

Such a proud big brother!
