When Should You Book Your Maternity Photos in Pittsburgh?

Pregnancy is one of the most unforgettable times in your life. Your body is constantly doing some really hard work growing and sustaining your baby. While pregnancy may or may not be an enjoyable experience, you still should find ways to honor yourself! As a Pittsburgh photographer, I have talked to too many women who regretted not scheduling portraits to remember this experience. That’s why I have worked hard to create a maternity session that makes you feel gorgeous while celebrating your baby. If you have wondered whether you should book maternity photos in Pittsburgh, I would love to tell you what you need to know about scheduling your sessions. 

What is the Ideal Timing for Your Maternity Photos in Pittsburgh?

Okay, so let’s start with scheduling your Pittsburgh maternity photos. The best time to book your session is right at the beginning of the third trimester when you are between 28-34 weeks along. That way, your cute bump will definitely get the chance to show off. At the same time, you won’t have to worry about being dangerously close to your due date or at that wildly uncomfortable stage that happens right at the end of pregnancy.

Why Should You Book Your Maternity Photos Early?

Ensure Your Date

There are many reasons to book your session as early as possible. To begin with, you have to reserve the date for your Pittsburgh maternity photos. I adore giving each client the time and attention they deserve, so I reserve how many openings I have each month. If you book early in the second trimester, you should be able to find an opening in my schedule so you can have pictures you love. Many of my clients choose to be proactive by scheduling their newborn sessions simultaneously. (Want to learn more about how to save on multiple sessions?

Time for Planning

You want tons of time to be able to plan your maternity photo session in Pittsburgh. When you plan it early, we can find a time to meet and iron out your session’s details. You can also pick out the pieces from my client wardrobe that you can use throughout your session. During our conversation, we will talk about location. I have a cozy studio that you can use for bright and airy pictures without worrying about the swelling that comes with the outside temperature. If you would prefer outdoor pictures, we can schedule a sun-soaked evening session in a field. Your immediate family is always included in both options!

Use of Photos

Finally, one of the best reasons to book your pictures early is to ensure you have the prints as quickly as possible. Lots of moms choose to display their pictures throughout the baby shower. You can also use that nesting time to hang them around the house as you wait to meet your little one!
