Are you looking to capture your pregnancy with unique and creative maternity portraits but don’t want to invest in a full photo session? I get you. I have some clients who want to capture this special time with a few fabulous pictures but would rather invest more when the baby arrives. The solution? My Maternity Mini Sessions! Once a month, I will offer a 20-minute maternity session at a beautiful East Bay location. Wear something that makes you beautiful, meet me in a lovely spot, and get ready to see some lovely portraits. Whether you come on your own, with your partner or family, this milestone deserves to be documented.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME FOR A MATERNITY PHOTO SESSION?
Wondering when the best time for a maternity photo session is? As a San Francisco Bay Area pregnancy and maternity photographer, it is a question that I am asked all the time! As a general rule of thumb, maternity portrait sessions are usually done between 28 and 36 weeks (seven or eight months of pregnancy).
Let’s Find the Best Time
We need to wait until the tummy is fully round to get those quintessential photos. Too early on in the pregnancy, and it’s hard to see its full definition. In addition, Mom still feels comfortable enough for a portrait session. Maternity dresses hang best at this stage, as well, and hey, your shoes may still fit!
If we wait too long, you might start feeling physically uncomfortable, tired, and really not in the mood for a portrait session. In addition, as a lifestyle photographer, we walk around the locations, usually in nature, so I want everyone to feel safe, secure and really enjoy this experience.

There are some exceptions to this rule
Multiples: If you are having twins or multiples, you will certainly get bigger before the stated time above. Let’s go ahead and book you in between 16-24 weeks.
Baby shower invitation or pregnancy announcements: If you’re looking to use your maternity photos for baby shower invitations or an announcement, let’s get photos of you at week 27 or 28. This will allow you to get your gallery back, choose your favorite images, and have the cards printed.
Prior Pregnancy: If you’ve been pregnant before, then YOU know your body better than anyone. You can tell me when the best time is for you.
So, before your life takes a dramatic turn with a newborn, wouldn’t it be nice to take time for memorable portraits? I guarantee that they will be cherished for a lifetime and by generations to come.
A maternity photo session is a great way to document your journey into motherhood. It can capture your story, experiences, and where you are now.
Through your maternity photos, you can show how incredible your body is and what it is capable of. More importantly, these photos capture such a special moment in your life, allowing you to look back and enjoy them in the future.
