When Should You Book Your Maternity Session?
Pregnancy has a way of feeling slow and fast at the exact same time. In the beginning, it can feel like you have forever to plan everything, and then suddenly you’re in your third trimester wondering where the time went.
For maternity photos, I typically recommend scheduling your session somewhere between 28–34 weeks. By that point, your bump is usually nice and round, but you’re hopefully still comfortable enough to move around, walk, and actually enjoy your session.
The biggest thing I always tell expecting moms is not to wait until the last minute to book. My calendar fills months in advance, especially for golden hour and weekend dates, and I’m currently booking into 2027.
Booking early also gives us time to actually plan everything without feeling rushed. We can talk about location, outfits, the overall vibe you’re going for, and what will feel the most like you.
You only get this version of your story once. If maternity photos are something you know you want, get your date on the calendar early and give yourself one less thing to worry about later.
