What is the Best Time for Maternity Photoshoot?
Maternity portrait photoshoots are generally done somewhere between 30 and 36 weeks (seventh or eight months of pregnancy).
For twins or more, it is better to schedule it somewhere between 26 and 32 weeks (sixth or seventh months of pregnancy).
“What is the best time for maternity photoshoot?” is something I get asked a LOT. One thing you undoubtedly need is a bump sufficiently large to nearly be the superstar yet slick enough so you can comfortably stand, pose and enjoy with your other half without it causing any hardwork for you.
Maternity photoshoots are about you, capturing you as you sprout into parenthood. There’s a wonderful aura about you when you are pregnant, an internal concentration and satisfaction, that you are accomplishing something so unfathomably stunning, you’re making new life inside your body.
It’s likewise about your journey as a family. I expect you must be having some gorgeous photos of your wedding, since that is the place your family’s journey started. A maternity photoshoot is about capturing the next step, those prior weeks you and your spouse become a family, bound together perpetually through the awesome moments and, let’s be honest, preliminaries of parenthood.
So despite the fact that you need a decent measured bump to flaunt, during the end of last tri-semester your baby will grow a great deal and your energy levels will be low. We do want to capture the beautiful glow on you and well shaped bump but ensuring that baby is safe and without too much hassle or exhertion for you.
As you can envision, planning your professional pregnancy photography requires a touch of creative workmanship and ideas brought to life through technical aspects of photography – I go much more beyond arranging the ideal poses, props and lighting for you, as I love to weave in all little details to make the whole experience stand out for you. You really need to schedule your session to experience that beautiful feeling.
Babies have their own thoughts regarding when they’re entering the scene, which can mean moms can get into labor weeks before they aniticipate. While it’s never too late to take newborn baby photographs, it’s impossible to capture maternity photographs after the baby is born!
Thus, we advice to plan maternity photoshoots between week 30 and week 36. There are extra reasons why this timeframe makes the perfect window for the most amazing and precious photos.
While this is an average, a few variables may impact that time period:
- If you’re hoping to utilize your maternity photographs for baby shower invitations, I suggest doing your maternity photoshoot as ahead of schedule as 27 – 28 weeks.
- If you are anticipating twins or more, I suggest doing maternity photoshoot during your second trimester (between week 26 and week 32). Your baby bump will seem greater since you are carrying mutiple babies and you will still feel good.
- Any pregnancy issues, if you have will also impact when to schedule the session and usually taking advise from your gynaec is ideal in such cases.
- Your accessibility is another factor which impact the time frame.
Exceptional note: The ideal time to book your maternity photoshoot is towards the start of your second-trimester; and during the maternity photoshoot, you can schedule your newborn baby photoshoot – making it as a combo plan, which gives you an excellent incentive for your investment with us.
You feel extremely extraordinary, can move around serenely and securely and are not stressed to give birth between week 30 to week 36
The objective of a maternity photoshoot is to capture the most undiluted essence of your pregnancy – the glow, the bump and the enchantment of a body that can develop and feed a baby. This implies if everything is fine we would like to hold up until the third trimester.
The precarious part about holding up is that most mothers find the third trimester a bit cumbersome. Mostly you might feel extraordinary, can move pretty easily and appreciate the sensations of your baby’s movements in the first half. While in the second half when resting for extended lengths is testing, your body starts feeling somewhat bulky and tiring.
By focusing on the first half of the third trimester – between weeks 30 and 36, we commend the forms of your beautiful baby bump – during a timespan when you’re feeling extremely extraordinary and not stressed over and you can move serenely and securely.
Exceptional note: In the event that you understand that you need to do a pregnancy photoshoot when you are 38 weeks, I generally attempt to accommodate the request if the schedule permits and advice to only have a studio shoot and not outdoor. Eventually, tuning in to your body and how it is changing is vital and timing your maternity shoot as needs be is the most ideal choice.
Ease of moving around is important
During the maternity photoshoot it is very vital that you can move securely around the photography area. Most of my maternity photoshoots occur in excellent, open air areas around beaches or green spaces (no light is better than that given by the Mother Nature). In this way, your physical solace and wellbeing are a first concern.
In the event that you are 36-week and ahead, the stomach feels too-huge for-your-comfort, you will make some hard memories moving around and holding infrequent stances without breaking a sweat as you would have half a month earlier (A run off the mill maternity photoshoot takes around one and a half hour. Also, since security is very important at this juncture, your strong balance and comfort is proportional to your comfort of the movement.)

Hence, there’s no compelling reason to buy anything. Simply book your session with ours or your preferred hair and make-up artist and wear something comfortable – our outfits will do the rest.
