When Should You Book Your Maternity Photos?

Hey there, mama-to-be! It’s More here, your friendly neighborhood maternity photographer. Let’s chat about something that’s probably been on your mind lately – when to book those gorgeous maternity photos.

As a mom of three littles myself, I know how quickly time flies during pregnancy. It doesn’t take much time for you to go from staring at that positive test to waddling around like a penguin! So, let’s make sure we capture this magical time before it slips away.

The Perfect Time: 7-8 Months

The ideal time to take your maternity photos is usually between 28 and 36 weeks. That’s right in that 7-8 month when your bump is beautifully round and you can still feel relatively comfortable. Trust me, at this stage, you’ll have that gorgeous pregnancy glow without feeling like you’re carrying a watermelon everywhere you go!

But here’s the thing – you don’t want to wait until you’re 7 months pregnant to book your session. By then, your favorite photographer (ahem, yours truly) might be all booked up! So, when should you actually reach out to book?

Book Early, Breathe Easy

My advice is to reach out early in your second trimester. I know it might seem early, but booking early gives you plenty of time to plan all the fun details – like what to wear, where to shoot, and how to convince your partner that matching outfits are totally cool (kidding… unless you’re into that!).

Plus, booking early means one less thing on your to-do list as you get further along. I promise that you’ll feel happy and relieved by how organized you were!

But What If…?

Now, I know what some of you might be thinking. “But More, what if I deliver early?” or “What if I’m not showing enough by then?” Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!

If you’re expecting multiples or have a history of early deliveries, we can always schedule your session a bit earlier – around 24-28 weeks is usually perfect. And if you’re worried about not showing enough, don’t be! I’m a pro at finding the most flattering angles and poses to highlight your beautiful bump, no matter its size.

The More Magic Touch

When you book with me, you’re not just getting photos—you’re getting an experience. I’m all about capturing those genuine, joy-filled moments. No stiff poses or awkward smiles here! We’ll laugh, we’ll chat, and before you know it, you’ll have a gallery full of images that truly reflect this incredible journey you’re on.

And remember, every pregnancy is unique. Some mamas are all belly at 6 months, while others barely show at 8 months. That’s why I always say – listen to your body and your heart. If you’re feeling particularly radiant at 25 weeks, why wait? Let’s capture that glow!
