When to Book Your Maternity Photography Session (Complete Guide by Due Date) / SANTA CLARITA MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER

2/18/2026

 
Picture
If you’re expecting, one of the biggest questions you may have is:

When should I schedule my maternity photography session?

As a professional maternity photographer in Santa Clarita, I recommend scheduling your maternity photos between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. During this time, your baby bump has a beautiful, round shape, and most moms still feel comfortable enough to move and pose naturally.
Because maternity photography sessions in Santa Clarita and Los Angeles book in advance — especially weekend appointments — it’s best to reserve your session during your second trimester.
​
To make planning simple, here’s your month-by-month guide based on your due date.
Maternity Photography Booking Guide by Due Date

Due in January -Best time for maternity photos: October or November

Due in February- Best time for maternity photos: November or December

Due in March- Best time for maternity photos: December or January

Due in April - Best time for maternity photos: January or February

Due in May - Best time for maternity photos: February or March

Due in June - Best time for maternity photos: March or April

Due in July - Best time for maternity photos: April or May

Due in August - Best time for maternity photos: May or June

Due in September - Best time for maternity photos: June or July

Due in October - Best time for maternity photos: July or August

Due in November - Best time for maternity photos: August or September

Due in December Best time for maternity photos: September or October

Example: Due in May?If your baby is due in May, the ideal time for your maternity session in Santa Clarita would be February or March, when you are approximately 7–8 months pregnant.

Why 28–34 Weeks Is the Best Time for Maternity Photos

Scheduling your maternity photography session during weeks 28–34 allows for:

• A beautifully defined baby bump
• Minimal swelling compared to later weeks
• Comfortable movement and posing
• Flexibility in case baby arrives early

If you are expecting twins or have a high-risk pregnancy, your maternity photos may be scheduled slightly earlier.
