The ideal time for a maternity photoshoot is roughly between 28 and 35 weeks. After 28 weeks, the soon-to-be mom should have a beautiful belly — and plenty of time left to get photos printed for a baby shower display. After 35 weeks, however, she may be too uncomfortable to enjoy posing for photos.

A maternity shoot is a photo shoot or series of photo shoots done throughout pregnancy or the maternity period for a soon-to-be mother. Maternity sessions capture the beauty of your growing baby bump and glorify the unity of mom and baby.Your maternity photo shoot gives you and your partner a chance to reflect on the life you've built together and how much has changed in your relationship since the beginning.
