When to Book Your Raleigh Maternity Photos
When moms are booking their Raleigh maternity photographer, one of the most common questions I receive is, “When is the best time to schedule a maternity session?” The ideal time is when you’re 28-32 weeks pregnant. At this point, your baby bump is beautifully round, and you still feel comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the experience.
Booking early ensures you’ll get the date you want, especially during peak seasons. If you’re unsure about timing, let’s chat and find the perfect spot on the calendar for you.
Why Every Mom Deserves a Maternity Session
I know what you’re thinking: “Do I really need maternity photos?”
Here’s my answer: Yes, you absolutely do.
This is such a fleeting season in your life—one where you’re growing and nurturing a life inside of you. It’s a season you’ll want to remember, and I promise you, you’ll miss it more than you think.
It’s not just about how you’ll feel looking back on these photos; it’s about the legacy you’re creating for your child. One day, your kids will look at these photos in awe and think, “That’s me in mommy’s tummy.” It’s a priceless way to show them how deeply loved they were from the very beginning.
And I get it—pregnancy can be tough. It’s easy to feel hesitant about stepping in front of the camera. But my goal is to make you feel empowered, radiant, and so incredibly beautiful. From styling support to guided posing, I’ll take care of every detail to ensure this session feels effortless and enjoyable for you. You will have no regrets about booking a Raleigh maternity photographer.

The Bump to Baby Collections
Welcoming a baby is one of the most special moments in your life, and my Bump to Baby Collections are designed to document every step of your journey. These collections offer the opportunity to preserve each beautiful stage, from pregnancy to your baby’s major milestones.
What May Be Included:
- Maternity Session: Celebrate your pregnancy and capture the glow of this once-in-a-lifetime season.
- Newborn Session: Preserve those precious first few weeks when your baby is brand new.
- Milestone Sessions: Capture the moments when your baby’s personality starts to shine—whether it’s their first smile, sitting up, crawling, or their first birthday.
What Are Milestone Sessions?
Milestone sessions are designed to document your baby’s growth during their first year. These sessions are perfect for capturing key moments, like:
- 3-4 Months: Their first gummy smiles and moments of tummy time.
- 6-9 Months: Sitting up unassisted or showing off their first giggles.
- 12 Months: Crawling, standing, or even taking their first steps.
The beauty of milestone sessions is that they freeze these fleeting moments in time. Babies grow so quickly, and having these photos allows you to look back and remember every little detail.
