Bellies grow at different paces and pregnancy feels different for each woman, so maternity sessions can happen anytime in the second or third trimester. Most women say they like the way they look and feel between 26-34 weeks. Some moms begin to feel a bit swollen and fatigued in the later weeks of the third trimester, so I tend to recommend this sweet spot. However, it’s never too late to document this special time as long as baby is still on the inside!

(rephrase) I recommend that newborn sessions happen in the first 2 weeks after birth. It is common for babies to develop newborn acne after those first weeks so it is advisable to book the session before that happens. When initially booking, we set a tentative session date usually 7-10 days after the due date and then I have clients reach out after the baby is born to either confirm that date or adjust when necessary. Because of the unpredictable timing of baby’s arrival, I keep room in my schedule open when I know I have an upcoming newborn session. Since I don’t do posed newborn work, it isn’t essential that the photo session happen in the first weeks when the baby is extra sleepy. If you have a challenging birth or need to do the session at a later time, I am willing to do a newborn session at any point of infancy.
