Best time to get maternity photos done
One question I get asked a lot is: When should I get my maternity photos done?
I would say the best time frame would be 28-33 weeks. This is a good time usually because your bump isn't too small or too big! I have definitely taken mothers before 28 weeks due to their flexibility or if it's a twin pregnancy. I have also taken mothers after 33/34 weeks! If you are planning ahead, I truly don't recommend not scheduling too far into the 3rd trimester, because you may be exhausted or baby could come unexpected. If this is your second, third or even fourth pregnancy, I always try and push closer to 28 or 29 weeks. This is because your belly sometimes is a little bigger the second time around. At least in my experience.
I also do not recommend scheduling photos at the last minutes. This can cause stress or even worse: Some photographers that you really love might be completely booked! One thing that is amazing if you do schedule with me last minute, I provide a client closet! This has helped sooo many mothers in the past find a maternity outfit that fits. The best part too, it's free of charge :)
Start looking and talking to maternity photographers in Pittsburgh around 16-22 weeks. You want to get on the books at a decent time before things fill up. Especially during the fall. Fall is an extremely busy time for photographers so you definitely want to schedule ahead!
I you are pregnant with twins, I highly recommend scheduling your maternity photos between 24-30 weeks.
