Maternity photography is a beautiful way to document this special time in your life. It’s a chance to celebrate your changing body and create lasting memories. But with so many questions, it can be overwhelming to plan your session. Let’s clear things up!

When is the Best Time for a Maternity Session?

Typically, between 28-34 weeks is ideal. Your bump will be noticeable, but you’ll still be comfortable. However, every pregnancy is different, so feel free to discuss your options with your photographer. Read additional information on my blog!

What Should I Wear for My Maternity Session?

Comfort is key! Choose outfits that make you feel confident and beautiful. Flowy dresses, soft knitwear, and even lingerie can look stunning. Some moms even even want to remember their bump by only using fabrics for draping or nude portraits. Ben Martinez Photography offer a complimentary client closet, so don’t hesitate to ask!
