Deciding when to take maternity photos can be overwhelming, especially for first-time moms.  At Musen Photos, we want to make this choice easier for you. We’ll help you find the ideal time to capture your baby bump and create photos you’ll treasure forever.

When To Schedule Your Maternity Photo Shoot

The best time to capture your pregnancy glow is usually between 28-32 weeks when you’re also likely still feeling comfortable enough to enjoy your session.

If you’re expecting twins or multiples, we recommend scheduling your maternity session earlier, around 24-28 weeks. This allows us to capture your bump while still giving us flexibility in case your babies decide to arrive early.

We always prioritize your health and well-being. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, please consult with your doctor. We’re happy to adjust the timing of your photo session to ensure both you and your baby are safe and comfortable. Let us know your doctor’s recommendations, and we’ll work with you to create a plan that puts your needs first.

Book Your Maternity Photographer in The Brunswicks

Don’t wait too long to find your perfect photographer! Start your search in your second trimester. This gives you time to:

• Familiarize yourself with maternity photography styles and find the one that resonates with your taste and vision.
• Discuss your vision with potential photographers. This way, you can ensure that their style and approach align with your expectations.
• Once you’ve found the photographer who understands your vision, you need to secure your session date on their calendar.

The Benefits of Combined Maternity & Newborn Sessions

Consider booking maternity and newborn sessions together. This often comes with package deals and ensures a cohesive style for documenting these precious milestones. Plus, you’ll build a relationship with a photographer who captures your family’s growth.

Personalizing Your Maternity Photo Session

Your maternity photoshoot should be a true reflection of your unique style and personality. Begin by selecting outfits that make you feel beautiful and confident. Flowing maxi dresses can create a dreamy and ethereal look while form-fitting tops can accentuate your gorgeous baby bump. 

If you’re feeling a bit unsure about what to wear, our maternity blog and portfolio provides inspiration to help you discover the perfect ensembles.

Now, let’s discuss the location! The Brunswicks offer a plethora of breathtaking backdrops for your session. If you adore the beauty of nature, we can explore lush parks and gardens adorned with vibrant flowers. 

Alternatively, if you prefer a more urban vibe, we can capture stunning shots against charming streetscapes, adding a touch of modern elegance to your images. If you desire the utmost comfort and privacy, you are welcomed to come to our studio located in Old Bridge, NJ.
