I suggest maternity shoots should take place from 30-36 weeks. A professional make-up application is always part of her package and I allow for half an hour before the shoot for this. The shoot typically lasts for 45 minutes to an hour and I have differing packages for in studio and on location. During the week I offer maternity sessions at 6pm in studio in the evening to cater for working parents to be. “Maternity & Newborn Combo Sessions” are available and package information available on request.
