Do you wonder when is the best time to do a maternity photoshoot?
It would seem that the question of when to book your pregnancy photoshoot is straightforward. In my opinion – not necessarily That’s why I have prepared this short blog for you.
The simplest answer is – that the best time for a maternity session in most cases is during your 7th or 8th month of pregnancy, between 30-36 weeks. However, there are a few buts …
