When to Book Your Maternity Shoot

When to Book Your Maternity Shoot- the 28–34 Week Window

Timing matters more than most expecting parents expect. Here's why the 28–34 week window is the standard recommendation, and what happens outside it.

Maternity photoshoot timing

Why this window works

Defined, but still comfortable

By 28 weeks, the bump is clearly defined without yet being at its most physically demanding stage. Most clients can still comfortably hold poses, move between setups and sit through a full session- which gets harder for many people past 36 weeks.

Booking ahead of the window

Because due dates shift, we recommend booking your session slot 3–4 weeks before your target date, with a written understanding that timing can move. One free reschedule is built into every maternity package for exactly this reason.

Shooting outside 28–34 weeks

Earlier or later sessions are absolutely possible- some clients specifically want an early-bump or very-late session. We'll talk through what's comfortable for you at that stage and adjust posing and pacing accordingly.
