When to take pregnancy photos?

My husband and I are expecting our first baby, and we want to do a maternity photoshoot. What's the ideal time during pregnancy to take these photos, so my bump looks good but I'm also comfortable?

Oh, pregnancy photos are such a beautiful memory! When my daughters were expecting, they got theirs done usually in the seventh or eighth month. That's when the belly is nice and round, but you're not too uncomfortable yet. Enjoy this special time, beta.

This is so helpful! I'm just starting to think about this. So, after 36 weeks is too late? And does it matter what kind of clothes you wear, or if you do it indoors or outdoors? I'm wondering what looks best.

It's totally okay to feel excited and maybe a little overwhelmed about pregnancy milestones, I get it! For maternity photos, generally, the best time is between 28 to 36 weeks. Your bump will be beautifully prominent by then, but you'll likely still feel energetic enough for a photoshoot. Don't worry too much, just pick a time when you feel your best!

For working professionals, planning is key for pregnancy photos. Aim for between 28-34 weeks. Your bump will be visible and cute, but you won't be too tired or uncomfortable from the final weeks. It gives you enough buffer time to get the photos back before the baby arrives. Book your photographer in advance, they get busy!
