Outdoor maternity photo session Zurich, Switzerland
When to Shoot Maternity Photos
When scheduling maternity photos I recommend booking a session around 30 weeks along. Some mommas tell me they want to wait to schedule their photos as late as possible because they want a nice big bump for their pictures, but I encourage scheduling photos in the second trimester because mama will have a little more energy for walking around to take pictures. Also, some babies make their debut a little early, so it’s best to leave plenty of time just in case!
I know how to work efficiently during a photoshoot, but I really prefer to take my time when photographing sessions. As you can see in this gallery the light changes significantly throughout the hour, and we would’ve missed that gorgeous glow if we’d only done a 30 mini-session. By slowing down we capture more versatility in the locations, posing, and lighting. This way, the whole experience feels more natural, unrushed, and unforced, and we increase our odds of capturing the sweetest moments!
