Ottawa Maternity Photo Shoot | When To Book. One of the most commonly asked questions we receive about maternity photos is “when is the best time to book one?? Here’s why we recommend that clients reach out to us in their second trimester to schedule:
Time to Plan and Prepare
Between baby showers, appointments, and nursery setup, the weeks leading up to your little one’s arrival are always busy. Contacting your photographer during your second trimester and booking your maternity session at 30-34 weeks gives you lots of time to plan and prepare for your session. You’ll have time to decide the types of photos you want, choose your wardrobe, as well as to enjoy the planning process rather than rushing and feeling stressed that you don’t have time to get ready.
Less Discomfort
As you move into the later stages of pregnancy, you might start feeling more uncomfortable. Opting for your maternity session earlier in the third trimester, around 30-34 weeks, ensures you’re still able to move around and pose comfortably.
Flexibility for Unforeseen Circumstances
Life has its surprises, and sometimes those little curveballs can affect our plans. By scheduling your maternity session within the 30-34 week range, you’re giving yourself a bit of wiggle room. Sometimes there are unexpected medical issues that arise, and scheduling your session earlier in your third trimester means you won’t miss out on maternity photos!
Reaching out to your photographer during your second trimester and booking your session for between 30 and 34 weeks allows you the time to prepare and plan, ensures that you’re feeling your best, and provides a safety net in case life throws you a curveball.
