Best time for Maternity Photography in NYC and NJ (around 30 weeks)

Choosing the right time for a maternity session is crucial to capturing the beauty of pregnancy. Ideally around 30 to 33 weeks, this timing ensures your belly is beautifully round but still comfortable for posing. Whether in the bustling cityscape of NYC or the scenic views of NJ, find out why this timeframe works best for expecting mothers in the region.

Optimal Weeks for Maternity Photos

The optimal time for a maternity photography session is generally between 30 to 33 weeks of pregnancy. During this period, the belly is pronounced and shapely, providing the perfect silhouette for your photos. Capturing your maternity photos earlier might not showcase your belly as prominently, whereas waiting too long could risk discomfort and unpredictability as your due date approaches.  Earlier than 28 weeks the stomach might not be as round and it might not show properly in the photos. Sometimes the session happens later like in this fun maternity session with a toddler AKA “Big Brother.” However, usually maternity session is scheduled around 30-33 weeks.

Choosing Your Maternity Session Location

The setting for your maternity session can vary from the comfort of your own home to a beautiful outdoor location in NYC or NJ. Many couples prefer starting the session indoors, where intimate and personal surroundings like the nursery can be included. Then, weather permitting, moving to an outdoor setting can add variety and natural beauty to your maternity photos.

Personalizing Your Maternity Session

Making your maternity session uniquely yours is all about personal touches. Starting at home with professional hair and makeup not only ensures you look your best but also adds comfort and convenience to your session. Incorporating elements like a sibling introduction with a “Big Brother” or family pets can make your session even more special.

I loved capturing Lindsey and Matt’s love and connection as they were about to welcome the new member of their family. So happy we included the family dog in their maternity photos. Another personal thing that we included are wine glasses as Matt and Lindsay  love wine tasting and were married at a wedding venue in Napa Valley, CA.  After getting indoor photos, we continued outdoors to the Van Vleck House & Gardens in Montclair NJ. Below are some of my favorite portraits which are beautifully displayed in their Fine Art Heirloom Album as well as Acrylic Fine Art Prints on the walls of  their home.
