Why weeks 28 to 32?
Before week 28 the bump is often still small. After week 32 many women find pregnancy heavier: standing and posing for longer is more tiring. In this window of about five weeks you combine a beautiful bump with the energy to enjoy it.
How to work out your date
Count back from your due date. A pregnancy lasts 40 weeks on average, so week 28 is 12 weeks before your due date and week 32 is about 8 weeks before. Or use the planner on the pregnancy page: enter your date and you instantly see your ideal period.
Example: due on 1 June? Then plan your shoot between about 9 March and 12 April.
When should you book?
As soon as you know your due date. Weekends fill up fast, and a deposit secures your date. After that you receive personal clothing advice; also read our article what to wear to a photoshoot.
Studio or on location?
In the studio it is warm, dry and everything is at hand. On location, for example in the dunes or on the beach, you get a different atmosphere. See the differences and prices on the pregnancy shoot page or in what does a photoshoot cost.
