Best Time For A Pregnancy Photoshoot

A frequently asked question is when is the best time for a pregnancy photoshoot.

I recommend maternity photography sessions take place between 31-34 weeks of pregnancy or when your belly goes past your bust-line.

This is a great time as it is obvious that you are pregnant so you can show off your beautiful curves. It is also a time when you are still fairly comfortable and therefore are able to move more freely. Of course, this is just a guideline. Every woman is different in her pregnancy journey. If you aren’t showing much during these weeks, just hold off until your belly has popped out a bit more. This is why I mention waiting until your belly goes past your bust-line.

This is such a wonderful time in a woman’s life and worth documenting. Your finished photographic artwork will mean more to you as the years go by and your children will love looking at these portraits as they grow up. What an amazing gift to be able to see your mom carrying you with so much love, excitement and anticipation!

As this family’s pregnancy photoshoot shows, most maternity sessions take place outdoors with Yvonne Niemann Photography, as I love how the natural settings of mother nature enhances the beauty of pregnancy. Other expecting moms prefer the comfort of their home for their portraits, which is equally meaningful and fitting during this time of a woman’s life. Regardless of location, these sessions are relaxed and natural.

If you are expecting and would like to document this miraculous time, contact Athens, GA maternity photographers of Yvonne Niemann Photography to schedule your own pregnancy photoshoot. Both petite and premium sessions are available. Inquire for details. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

Nothing like a sleeping baby! Sometimes when a little one is having problems falling (or staying asleep) a swaddle can be a wonderful tool. Gives little ones comfort and a reminder of being in the womb. It is why I do a lot of swaddled images during a newborn session. Plus it is just precious!

A common question I get regarding heirloom sessions is what is the best age for these type of portraits. 

Heirloom photography is a classic way to document your child between the ages of 1-10. Many families choose a specific age depending on when they had their own portraits done as a child or when they feel is most fitting to start the tradition themselves. 

The most popular age I see clients for their heirloom photography session is between three and four years old. This is the age range where the child can take some direction and is attentive. They still have those precious filled out faces and adorable child features that just don’t last. I have quite a few parents bring their one year old in for this timeless portraits as well.

Many families choose to do a few sessions at various ages to show the growth of their child and put together a composite photographic wall art piece.

Still cannot decide when the best age would be for your child/children? Send me a message and I am more than happy to help you out!

Spring is here and with that comes all the beauty in full bloom. How fitting for maternity portraits! New life surrounded by new life. 

This is the perfect time for pregnancy photos if you are in your third trimester! It isn't too hot or humid yet and boy is it pretty out there. Whether you are looking for a manicured garden, a flowering field, a wooded area, a place with water, or something with some architecture, you cannot go wrong! Fresh greens and flowering plants are everywhere. 

Send me a message to book your session today!

We sure have some pretty buildings around here. This is a noticeable landmark in Madison, GA on the square. Love walking around this historic town - exploring the shops, dining in their restaurants and enjoying some French pastries. Lots of local gems.
