Maternity Photoshoot Guide: When to Book and What to Wear

A maternity session is a chance to celebrate this chapter and keep it forever. Here is everything you need to know before you book.

When is the best time to book?

Most mums-to-be photograph beautifully between 28 and 36 weeks, when the bump is rounded and you still feel comfortable. Book a few weeks ahead so we can find a date that suits you, and keep a little flexibility in case the baby has other plans.

What to wear

• Fitted dresses that show the shape of your bump — stretchy fabrics work best.
• Flowing gowns for dramatic, movement-filled pictures.
• A simple white shirt and jeans for relaxed, natural images.

Bring a couple of options and a few accessories. We are happy to help you decide on the day.

Partner and family

Our couple package includes your partner, and we can include children for warm family pictures. Tell us who is joining when you book so we can plan the poses.

How to feel comfortable

Eat beforehand, wear comfortable underwear and bring water. Take breaks whenever you need one — we work around you, not the other way round.

What happens after

You choose your favourites and we deliver the edited pictures in a private online gallery. Frames and photobooks are available if you would like something to hold.
