One of the most popular questions we receive is, “When is the ideal moment to do a pregnancy photoshoot?” For experienced maternity photographers in Greater Manchester, timing is everything when it comes to the perfect bump. Every pregnancy is different, but there are certain weeks when you'll look and feel the most beautiful. Planning now means you won't miss this special chance.

I recommend the best time for a maternity shoot is around 28-34 weeks of pregnancy. At this point, the baby bump is a perfect round shape, which stands out, and most mothers are still able to stand in poses and move around. Another reason to avoid waiting too late in the pregnancy: You will feel more awkward and tired, and it may be less enjoyable. Ruaa Photography suggests that be the date for booking so you are not disappointed, but do it in advance.

The comfort level and confidence are a big part of the outcome of the session. A professional maternity photographer in Greater Manchester knows exactly how to position you and the perfect places to really capture that glow during your pregnancy. Whether it be a quiet outdoor atmosphere or an intimate indoor session, you are the focus in every way; we want you to feel comfortable and celebrated. Here at Ruaa Photography, we have each stage of your photoshoot carefully planned to help ensure that your maternity session is a happy, relaxed time.

If you are having multiples or a high-risk pregnancy, you may want to book your session a little earlier, perhaps at 24-28 weeks of gestation. This way you're still comfortable, but your bump is out there loud and clear. Each photoshoot is designed for each expecting mother, offering the most personalized experience possible. There is room to work with, as anyone's preference and situation can differ from the next.

So, depending on where you are in your pregnancy, that could be the ideal time for your maternity photoshoot, give or take a week or two. Hiring a skilled maternity photographer in Greater Manchester, like Ruaa Photography, is a surefire way to ensure your images really are cherished and timeless mementos of that special time.
