From Bump to Baby: When to Book Your Maternity & Newborn Photos

If you’re expecting a baby, you’ve probably googled a lot of things lately - and somewhere along the line you’ve thought:
‘When do I actually need to book photos?’

Here’s a quick guide to help you plan your maternity and newborn sessions stress-free.

Maternity Photos: When to Book

The best time to have a session is between 28–34 weeks. This is the sweet spot where your bump is beautifully round, but you’re still (hopefully) comfortable enough to move and enjoy the session. I have a range of soft, flattering dresses through my complimentary client wardrobe, and we’ll choose a natural outdoor location for golden light and a relaxed feel.

Newborn Photos: When to Book

The best time to book a sessions is when bubs is between 5–14 days old, but I’m flexible! I take a lifestyle approach, which means no froggy poses or stiff setups, just real connection, soft light and you soaking in your baby. I can either come to you (in-home session), or we can plan an outdoor session with your baby nestled & cosy in your arms. Get in touch as soon as you can - we will pencil in your session based off your due date and change if we need to.

You don’t need to be ‘ready’ or ‘glowing’ or have everything perfect. These sessions are gentle, slow, and focused on connection. I’m here to make it easy. You just show up and love on your little one. I’ll do the rest.
