Winter Maternity Shoot | Squires Castle | Cleveland, Ohio | Best Photographer

When is the best time to take Maternity Photos?

I recommend anytime from week 28-36. I want you to have a nice little bump but also not uncomfortable for the shoot.

Where do they take place?

I offer both outdoor and indoor studio shoots for maternity. The outdoor shoots seem to be more popular even during the winter time! I love going to squires castle after a fresh blanket of snow. I also recommend the moms to bring blankets and cover up in between shoots.

What happens during the shoot?

I understand it can be awkward and unsure of how to pose. No worries! I will guide you every step of the way with the posing for the shoot. Please check out some of my most recent sessions here:

How long do they last? I offer both a mini 30 minute and full 1 hour shoot. With the mini session you also receive 15 images. The full 1 hour shoot you’ll receive close to 40 images. All of my pricing includes the session fee and digital images. No extra hidden costs.

What should you wear?

I recommend wearing clothing that you would feel comfortable. I do offer a few maternity dresses that you are welcome to borrow. Long flowing dresses look amazing in the shoots.

I am asked many times when is the best time for Maternity photos? A maternity photo session is the perfect way to document the beautiful change your body is undergoing. I recommend photos to be taken anytime from week 32 to week 36 depending on how your feeling. You want a beautiful baby bump for the photos, but also not too large you feel uncomfortable. That’s why I recommend that time frame as the sweet spot for photos.

What takes place during a maternity session?

I offer both a full 1 hour and mini 30 minute maternity session. These photos can be taken outdoors or inside depending on the vibe you want in the photos. Many people choose outdoors all year long. I especially love squires castle for photos.

If you’re deciding on booking both a maternity and newborn shoot you’ll receive 10% off the total cost. If you want all 3 sessions, maternity, newborn and first birthday. I offer a bump to baby package which includes all 3 sessions at a reduced cost.

Many new parents realize that they will want pictures of their pregnancy newborn and once their baby turns 1! That’s why I’m so excited to offer my bump to baby package. I have realized that many parents wanted each session and wouldn’t it be nice to have it all planned out for their first year. The maternity session I recommend taking place around week 32-week 36. I want your cute little bump showing but I also don't want to wait to long and your now uncomfortable and not wanting photos take.

For the newborn shoot, I recommend they are taken from day 5 to day 15 of life. Anytime after that I can not always guarantee the baby will sleep and have that little newborn look. Around the 1 month mark the newborns do change so much!

The milestone session can be your choice to be taken anytime within the first year of life. Most people like to do it for their 1st birthday. And don’t blink, because before you know you it you’ll be planning that first birthday ;)

It’s been a long time since I’ve done an indoor maternity shoot since it seems so many ladies have preferred them outdoors. Even during the cold wintry months. Which I agree, they all have turned out so beautiful with some fresh fallen snow on the ground. However, this recent indoor maternity shoot was breathtaking! It was so fun, lighting was perfect and of course warm ;)

When coming for indoor maternity photos, I do recommend at least 2 different dresses to wear in order to add variety with the photos. I always recommend long flowing dresses as well. Tight form fitting is nice alternative for a the second choice. If you are interested in setting up a maternity shoot please reach out! I offer special rates when booking maternity and newborn or even my bump to baby package!
