When is the Best Time to Have a Maternity Session?

So, you are expecting! We celebrate with you! Here at Songs of Life, babies and children are held in high esteem. We believe they are precious and should be cherished and treasured in the home.

One of the best ways to do that is to celebrate their arrival with a maternity photo session. Not only will you and your partner experience a closer bond and more love for your baby, but your child will see how much he or she is loved. When your child is old enough to view the photos that were taken, he or she will see the love and bond you share and how much love existed even before he or she is born.

So, when is the best time?

The recommended time frame is between 28-32 weeks with 30 weeks being ideal. During this time, the expectant mom typically feels fairly comfortable, is over the morning sickness and other ailments that can occur at the beginning, and feels more at ease posing for photos. Usually, mom feels pretty good, has some energy back, and is feeling more confident and excited. It is a win win!

The other upside is that it is late enough in the pregnancy to look very pregnant which leads to great photos!
