When should I book my maternity photo shoot?
Maternity photos often take place towards the end of the second trimester/beginning of the third trimester, so it is best to reach out and book with your photographer in the early part of your second trimester.

How do I pick a maternity photographer?
Pick someone who shows a good variety in their portfolio, someone who knows posing well, and has good reviews. It’s so important that clients are happy with their photos – so a photographer’s reviews should show that! They should be able to offer you assistance with clothing choices (perhaps even offer a client closet), and give guidance on location.

When do maternity photos take place?
I greatly feel this all depends on the person. I am short, so I showed early! But longer torso, taller women can hide babies in their bellies for a long time! The “ideal” timeframe is around 28-34 weeks, just depending on the mama. I like to pick a date around 30-32 weeks or so, that way we have wiggle room if we need to bump it up earlier or later.
