The first time you saw that little plus sign, the world shifted. Suddenly, everything became about this tiny life growing inside you. And now, as your hands instinctively rest on your growing belly, you realize just how fleeting this moment is. One day, you'll look down, and the curve of your belly will be gone, replaced by tiny fingers wrapped around yours.
This is why maternity photos matter. They freeze time, capturing the beauty, strength, and anticipation of motherhood before it becomes a blur of midnight feedings and first giggles. But if you're wondering when the perfect time is to step in front of the camera and document this chapter, the answer is simple: seven months.
Picture this: You're in your third trimester, but not too far in. You’re still glowing, still feeling (mostly) like yourself, and still able to move with ease. Your bump is beautifully round and prominent, the star of every shot. This is why 28-32 weeks is the golden window for maternity portraits.
By this stage:
Pregnancy doesn’t exactly come with a roadmap, and every journey is unique. Some moms-to-be don’t show much until later, while others feel like they’ve reached maximum capacity at six months. But here’s what to keep in mind if you’re thinking of waiting:
That said, if you’ve already passed the 32-week mark and still want a session, don’t stress! Some of the most heartfelt images come from those last few weeks, with a mama cradling her belly and dreaming of the moment she finally meets her baby.
A new artistic journey is unfolding—one that celebrates the mystique, power, and transformation of womanhoodthrough fine art storytelling.
This isn’t about taking portraits. It’s about creating visual narratives—stories told through photography, painting, and artistic expression. Each piece in this series is a carefully crafted exploration of identity, legacy, and the myths we carry as women.
For months, I’ve been behind the scenes, sketching concepts, designing scenes, and weaving together themes of creation, resilience, and the feminine mystique. Now, I’m sharing the journey with you.

Pregnancy is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it experience. Today, you feel those tiny kicks inside you. Soon, they’ll be wobbly steps across the floor. And before you know it, they’ll be running off to their first day of school.
Don’t wait. Let’s capture the beauty of this moment while it’s here.
