When Is the Best Time for a Maternity Shoot?
Most photographers recommend scheduling your session between 28 to 34 weeks — when your baby bump is nicely rounded but you're still comfortable enough to move around with ease.
Every pregnancy is different, so it’s important to choose a time when you feel your best. The key is to capture the moment while you're feeling confident and connected to your growing baby.
What to Prepare for your Maternity Shoot?
In preparation for your maternity shoot, it would be helpful to prepare a few key things to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Start by selecting 2-3 outfits to bring along — ones that make you feel comfortable and confident. Think flowing dresses, soft fabrics, and solid colours that complement your skin tone. Gather any meaningful items you’d like to include in the photos, such as ultrasound images, baby shoes, or keepsakes.
Don’t forget to bring essentials like water, snacks, and a small bag with personal items. If the shoot is outdoors, bring a portable fan or umbrella to keep cool. Lastly, consider inviting your partner and loved ones to join in some of your shots as well!
To look fresh and glowy during your session, keep your skin moisturized in the days leading up to the shoot. Be sure to drink plenty of water and get a good night’s sleep before the day of your shoot.
To help you prepare, here’s a handy checklist summarizing the key items mentioned above for your easy reference:
-
2-3 outfits to change
-
Meaningful items (e.g.: ultrasound images, baby shoes, keepsakes, etc.)
-
Water
-
Snacks
-
Small bag for personal items
-
Umbrella / portable fan (for outdoor shoots)
