The Best Time to Schedule Your Maternity Session

Timing is key when it comes to maternity photography. The ideal time to schedule your maternity photoshoot is between 32 to 35 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, your belly has a beautiful, round shape, and you’ll still feel comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the session. This window allows me to capture your pregnancy in its most stunning form, without any added discomfort.

Whether you opt for an outdoor session amidst Durango’s stunning scenery or a more intimate studio session, you will get a personalized experience to meet your needs. You will receive guidance at our consultation to help you choose outfits that complement your style and the natural beauty of the Durango backdrop or whatever studio backdrop you choose.

Throughout the session, I focus on making you feel relaxed and cared for. Pregnancy can sometimes feel overwhelming, and my goal is to give you a peaceful and enjoyable photography experience. With Kelly Miranda Photography, you’ll not only have stunning images but also a memorable and calming experience.
