Keep in mind that the best time to schedule a maternity photoshoot is sometime between weeks 28-34 of your pregnancy. During that timeframe you’ll have an adorable baby bump to show off, but you’ll still be relatively mobile and comfortable enough to be moving around and trying different poses. You can then use those final weeks of your pregnancy to relax and make final preparations for your baby, without worrying about an upcoming photo shoot – which can be a nerve-wracking event for many mamas-to-be!
You’ll never regret taking maternity photos, and we hope that with these photoshoot ideas, they’ll turn out just as perfect as you envision.
