When Should I Take Maternity Photos?

While pregnancies can be full of ups and downs, there is always one thing that can help capture this beautiful time in your life - maternity photos. Maternity photos are the perfect way to remember these quick 9 months before your little one arrives. These types of photoshoots help to document the journey into motherhood and give you confidence when you're having to buy larger clothes and not feeling like yourself.

When Should You Take Maternity Photos?

While most maternity photos are going to be done around the 7th or 8th month of pregnancy (30-36 weeks), it is always best to do them when you feel comfortable. At this stage of the pregnancy, your belly should be nice and round and your baby has not dropped down too far, giving you a higher belly appearance. You can also speak to a maternity photographer to help figure out when is going to be the best time for you.


All Pregnancies Are Not The Same

Since everybody is not made the same, not every pregnancy will be the same either. While you can use the timeframe above as a guide, you will need to pay close attention to your body to determine when you think you are ready. This will be especially important for those who are on their second or third child as you may feel totally different at 32 weeks.
