Booking Your Maternity Session
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, and capturing this special time with a maternity photoshoot is a wonderful way to celebrate. Booking your maternity session at the right time and preparing thoughtfully can make all the difference in creating stunning, memorable images. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your maternity photoshoot.
Ideal Booking Time: Between 30 and 36 Weeks
Why This Window? The sweet spot for booking your maternity session is typically between 30 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. During this time, your baby bump is beautifully pronounced, and you’re likely to feel more comfortable and radiant. This timeframe allows you to capture your pregnancy in its most beautiful stage while still having plenty of time to work with if any adjustments are needed.
Plan Ahead We recommend booking your session at least a few months in advance to secure your preferred date and time. This also gives you ample time to prepare and discuss all the details with us.
Styling Advice: Looking and Feeling Your Best
Choosing the Perfect Outfit When it comes to styling for your maternity photoshoot, comfort and confidence are key. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect outfit:
- Flowing Dresses: Long, flowing dresses can beautifully accentuate your bump and create a dreamy look.
- Fitted Tops: If you prefer a more form-fitting look, choose tops that highlight your belly while remaining comfortable.
- Soft Fabrics: Opt for soft, stretchy fabrics that move with you and add a touch of elegance to your photos.

The Magic of Golden Hour
Why Golden Hour? Golden hour, the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset, is renowned for its soft, warm light that creates a stunning, natural glow. Scheduling your session during this time can add a magical quality to your photos, enhancing the overall mood and making your images truly unforgettable.
Tips for Golden Hour Shoots
- Timing: Plan your session around the time of day that golden hour occurs, which varies depending on the season and location.
- Location: Choose a scenic spot that takes advantage of the beautiful light. We can help find the perfect location that complements the golden hour effect.
Additional Tips for a Seamless Photoshoot
Prepare Ahead
- Hydrate and Rest: Make sure you’re well-hydrated and rested before the shoot to feel your best.
- Practice Posing: While our photographer will guide you, practicing some simple poses in advance can help you feel more confident.
Include Loved Ones
- Family and Partners: Maternity sessions are a great opportunity to include your partner, older children, or even pets. These additions can make your photos even more special and personal.
Personal Touches
- Props and Accessories: Incorporate meaningful props or accessories that add a personal touch to your photos. Whether it’s baby shoes, ultrasound images, or a favorite blanket, these details can make your session unique.
