When to Take Maternity Photos: The Best Weeks of Pregnancy

The best time to take maternity photos is between weeks 30 and 36 of pregnancy. The bump is well defined and you are still comfortable moving around. I’m Felipe from The Love Pics, and I plan maternity sessions around that window, so book early: weekend golden-hour slots in those weeks go first.

This page explains the timing and what to prepare. See my maternity sessions.

Why weeks 30 to 36

Before week 30 the bump is smaller; after week 36 many mothers are tired and the baby can arrive any day. In between, you look the way you want to remember and you can still stand, walk and move for 45 to 90 minutes.

How to plan it

  • Book as soon as you know your due date, and choose a date near week 32 or 34 to leave margin.
  • Choose the first or last hour of sun, when the light is softest.
  • Your partner and older children are included at no extra charge.

If your window is already close

Send me your due date and I tell you what is possible. Sessions are short and gentle, and I give you the posing so you never have to guess.
