As a maternity photographer serving Morris County, Sussex County, and surrounding areas in Northern NJ, one of the most common questions I get asked is, “When should I book my maternity session?” It’s a great question and an important one to consider as you plan to document such a special time in your life.
There’s nothing I enjoy more than capturing such a meaningful moment in a family’s journey. Your maternity session is a celebration of new life and the love that surrounds it. Whether you want to go solo, include your partner, or bring along your beloved pets, because who doesn’t love a picture with their fur baby, I offer flexible options to help you create the session that feels just right for you.
Best Timing For My Session
The best time to schedule your maternity session is between 28 to 34 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, your baby bump is beautifully round and prominent, but you’re still feeling comfortable enough to move around and pose without too much fatigue. Of course, every pregnancy is different, so if you’re showing earlier or expecting multiples, you may want to consider scheduling closer to 26 weeks.
Booking early, around 20 weeks, also ensures you get on my calendar before it fills up. I recommend reaching out during your second trimester to reserve your date. This gives us plenty of time to plan your session, explore location options, and schedule a personalized styling consultation. Every maternity session includes access to my Client Closet, where you’ll find a curated collection of elegant gowns and wardrobe pieces designed to flatter every body type. I also offer accessories and layering pieces so you can fully customize your look and feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera.
You Are Beautiful- Capture this moment
As a maternity photographer, I focus on making sure you feel confident, radiant, and celebrated during your session. We can choose a beautiful outdoor location around Lake Hopatcong, Oak Ridge, Sparta, or Rockaway, or we can keep things simple and intimate with a lifestyle session in your home. Whether you love natural light, open fields, or cozy indoor moments, I work with you to create a relaxed and memorable experience.
I also understand that life gets busy, especially when you’re preparing for a new baby. If you’re already past 34 weeks and still want to schedule a maternity session, don’t worry. Reach out anyway. I do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible, and we can still create something beautiful together.
Capturing your pregnancy is more than just taking pretty pictures. It’s about freezing a moment in time before everything changes. It’s a celebration of the strength and beauty of motherhood, and I feel so honored to be a part of that story.
If you’re located in Jefferson Township, Roxbury, Randolph, Landing, Hopatcong, or any part of Northern New Jersey, I would love to help you document this incredible chapter.
Let’s create timeless images that you and your family will treasure forever.
