Why you should absolutely book a Maternity Photoshoot

My third child is in my belly here! Not the greatest of photos, is it? Blurry, taken on a phone, half my head is missing, it’s not even straight! Not what you want!!

If there is one thing I hugely regret, it’s that I didn’t have photos taken of me when I was pregnant. It’s such a wonderful time (well, maybe after the first trimester sickness goes away) and we should be documenting it, right? This is a once in a lifetime event. Of course, you might have other children, but you will only experience this pregnancy once. You will want to look back on this time with this child and remember the feeling of their first movements you felt inside your belly.

Later on, I’m sure your child will want to see what you looked like when you were carrying them. Did you have a happy, glowing face filled with excitement and anticipation of their arrival? Or what about how excited the older sibling was to meet the mysterious bump in Mum’s belly. A maternity photoshoot can help you relive those feelings for years to come.

Was Dad feeling nervous, excited, happy or a little of all three? This is a great time to capture the love that created your bundle of joy!

So when is the right time to organise your maternity photoshoot? About 32-36 weeks usually works well - you have plenty of belly to show off but also you’re not feeling super tired (like you might be in the last few weeks!).
