The best time to take maternity photos is when you are between 28–34 weeks. By 28 weeks you should be showing a nice round bump, but you won't be quite "full term" size. It is the best window of time because you will be at the end of your 2nd trimester / beginning of your 3rd, so you will likely still be feeling pretty good. By 34 weeks, you are at risk of early labor or may be ordered to be on bed rest by your doctor. It's never a good idea to wait until the last minute to plan your maternity photos as it is unclear how your birth story will play out.
Yes we do! We work with a few local area hair and makeup artists experienced with studio portraiture. You may add on these services with your session fee for an additional $200.
Between the magic of professional hair and makeup artistry, a beautiful gown, professional camera angles and your radiant cheeks, we will make certain that every shot is carefully crafted to be the most flattering version of you. These photos are more than just a "maternity session" - It's about creating everlasting memories of this season of your life. It's a wonderful way to honor the journey of parenthood in anticipation of the new life to come.
