The sweet spot for maternity photos is typically between 28 and 34 weeks. By this time, your belly has a lovely, round shape that's perfect for showcasing your pregnancy. You're also likely to still feel comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the session. But every pregnancy is different, and we can always adjust based on how you’re feeling.

You’ve found the perfect maternity photographer (hint: it’s me, Amy Dawnelle!). Together, we’ve brainstormed creative ideas that align with your vision. We’ve chosen a gorgeous outdoor location in Temecula, Murrieta, or Menifee that perfectly complements your style. Or you’ve chosen a modern studio vibe. The session is fun and relaxed, and you feel like a goddess. The final photos are not just beautiful—they’re uniquely you. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?

As an expectant mother, I know that you've been dreaming of the perfect maternity portraits. Yet, finding the right maternity photographer can feel daunting. You're not alone in this search. Many mothers-to-be feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of options and are unsure who to trust with these precious memories.
