So when is the best time to schedule your maternity session with Valerie Steinkoenig?

Here are a few tips to help you choose the perfect time to schedule your maternity session:


Timing is Key - As a general rule, it's best to schedule your maternity session between 28-36 weeks. This is the time when your belly will be nicely rounded, but you should still be comfortable enough to pose for photos. If you're having twins or multiples, you may want to schedule your session a little earlier, as you'll likely be bigger sooner.


Plan Ahead - Don't wait until the last minute to schedule your maternity session. Booking in advance will give you time to prepare, both physically and emotionally. You can also choose the perfect outfit and accessories, and make sure your hair and makeup are just right.

Hair and Makeup - At Valerie Kay Photography, magenta sessions include professional hair and makeup by their in-house HMUA. This is a great opportunity to pamper yourself and feel your best for your maternity photos.


Choose Your Style - Valerie Steinkoenig offers a wide range of maternity photography styles, from ultra-glam to fine art nudes, and everything in between. Think about the type of photos you want to capture and choose a style that reflects your personality and vision.


In conclusion, the best time to schedule your maternity session is between 28-36 weeks, but with careful planning and preparation, you can have beautiful maternity photos at any time.
