Maternity Portraits are best scheduled within 27 to 35 weeks. Choose a date when you feel your belly will be big and beautiful, but you're still comfortable enough to move around and change your wardrobe. After booking, please message us so we can prebook your newborn session.
When should I book a newborn photoshoot?
Newborn portraits are best pre-scheduled. Choose a date 7-14 days after your due date. This ensures your session is within the best window of time and can be rescheduled if needed.
