When to do my maternity shoot?

So you know you really want to do a maternity shoot to capture your pregnancy but now you’re wondering when is the best time to do that? Typically maternity photoshoots are done between 28-35 weeks of pregnancy. Any earlier, your bump might not be big enough. Any later, you’re getting very close to the due date running into the risk of missing your shoot because you went into labor! Also, after 35 weeks of pregnancy, many women start to feel more uncomfortable, tired and just not their best. Every woman is different so definitely follow your intuition.

A full-maternity shoot lasts about 2 hours plus add 90 minutes if you want professional hair and make-up. I start my shoot at 10 or 11 AM and usually wrap everything up by 2 PM. I have some healthy snacks in the studio but bring a lunch if you need more calories! I always do!
