what week of pregnancy is best for maternity photos?| Maternity photography Kingston upon Thames
When planning Maternity photography in Kingston upon Thames, “What week of pregnancy should I carry out a maternity photoshoot?” Is a question that I get asked a great deal.
To answer more on this question – read on!
The best time for eternity Photography is typically between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. During this time frame, your bump takes on a beautifully defined, perfectly round shape that looks perfect in maternity portraits. Most mums-to-be still have lots of energy and flexibility during these weeks, making it so much easier to stand pose and walk around during the session. Scheduling your shoot during this timeframe ensures you can capture this special milestone whilst feeling comfortable and still like yourself towards the end of pregnancy. Most months, you want to relax, get quite tired, and have a physically heavy feeling.
Adjustments which might be changed for specific pregnancies, for example, expecting multiples. If you are expecting twins or triplets, your bump will most likely be bigger at the earliest stage. For these pregnancies, my recommendation as a Newborn and family Photographer would be to carry out the shoot at around 24 to 26 weeks. Also, if you’re prone to swelling and will get exhausted easily, consider booking on the earliest side at around 8028 weeks.
Maternity for Photography is a bespoke photo session, and photographers book up quickly. It’s important that you book your scan for around the time after your 20-week scan, and if you need photos for pregnancy announcements it’s an idea to aim for the earlier timeframe around 28 weeks.
