When to Capture Your Beautiful Bump
One of the first questions we often hear is, "When is the best time for maternity photos?" From our perspective, the sweet spot for photographing your pregnancy is typically between 28 and 34 weeks. At this point, your bump will be beautifully rounded and prominent, showcasing your incredible journey. Most importantly, you'll likely still feel comfortable, energetic, and mobile enough to move around and truly enjoy your session. Of course, every pregnancy is unique, so we always encourage you to trust your body and choose a time when you feel your absolute best!
