Maternity Photography FAQs: Answering Common Questions for Expecting Mothers in Edmonton

Hello, beautiful expecting mothers of Edmonton and YEG! I'm Robyn, the passionate photographer behind Robyn Eliza Photography. Pregnancy is an extraordinary journey, and capturing these precious moments through maternity photography is a wonderful way to celebrate this special time. I’ve compiled some frequently asked questions to help you feel more prepared and excited for your maternity photoshoot.

When is the Best Time to Schedule a Maternity Photoshoot?

The ideal time for a maternity photoshoot is between 32 to 36 weeks of pregnancy. During this period, your baby bump is beautifully round, but you are still comfortable enough to move and pose for photos. However, every pregnancy is unique, so it's essential to choose a time when you feel your best.

What Should I Wear for My Maternity Photoshoot?

Choosing the right outfit is crucial for a stunning maternity photoshoot. Here are a few suggestions:

- Flowing Dresses: Long, flowing gowns are timeless and elegant, perfect for showcasing your baby bump.

- Fitted Outfits: If you prefer a more modern look, fitted dresses or tops that accentuate your curves can be stunning.

- Lingerie: For a more intimate and bold style, consider tasteful lingerie or a fitted bodysuit.

- Colors and Textures: Soft pastels, bold colors, lace, and textures add visual interest to your photos.

Feel free to bring multiple outfits to the session to capture different looks and styles.
