When Is the Best Time to Book Maternity Photos in Ontario?

Maternity photography is best captured when you still feel comfortable in your body, but your bump is beautifully visible.

I am located in Durham Region, Ontario. My maternity sessions are booked between 28–34 weeks, but they can be done whenever you have energy and are feeling good!

WHY TIMING MATTERS

During this window:

• your bump is well defined

• you still have mobility and comfort

• energy levels are usually more stable
