TIPS FOR SCHEDULING MATERNITY PHOTOS

  • Maternity photos are best taken during the third trimester, between 27 and 34 weeks of pregnancy.
  • For twins, consider scheduling between 24 and 28 weeks.
  • First-time pregnancies may benefit from later bookings to showcase a more defined bump.
  • Subsequent pregnancies may require earlier bookings, typically before 30 weeks.
  • Avoid scheduling too early to ensure a well-defined bump in your photos.
  • Consider your comfort level and avoid waiting too long, as fatigue can set in towards the end of pregnancy.


SCHEDULING YOUR SESSION

Most women opt to have maternity photos taken during the third trimester, specifically between 27 and 34 weeks.

For first pregnancies, bumps may show later, so embrace the wait. Scheduling after 35 weeks might risk missing out on capturing your pregnancy.


EXPECTING TWINS OR HIGH-RISK PREGNANCY

Twins or high-risk pregnancies often lead to earlier deliveries, so plan your session between 24 and 28 weeks.

If you've been pregnant before, consider booking before 30 weeks to account for quicker belly growth.


PRIORITIZE COMFORT

Don't delay scheduling too long due to common pregnancy discomforts.

Book early, ideally around 2 months into your pregnancy, especially for fall maternity sessions in New Jersey.
