Which week should you do it?
Many moms choose the third trimester, when the belly shows well and they can still move comfortably. Every pregnancy is different: it is best to check with your doctor and book early so you are not rushing at the end.
Studio or outdoors
In the studio the light is controlled, there are backdrops and sets, and you do not depend on the weather. Outdoors there is more variety of settings, but it is worth choosing the hour of soft light, early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
What to wear
Less is more. Two or three well-chosen changes work better than a full suitcase:
- A long or fitted dress that shows off the belly.
- A more casual look, like an open shirt or a neutral set.
- Solid colors for the partner and older children that match mom's.
Including the family
The partner and older siblings make the session tell a story. With small children, it is best to take their photos first, while they still have energy and patience.
