What is the best month to photograph a maternity bump?

The best month to photograph a maternity bump, often referred to as a "maternity belly" or "baby bump," can vary depending on the look you want to achieve. Here are some considerations:

1. 7-8 Months Pregnant: Many expecting mothers choose to have their maternity photos taken during the 7th or 8th month of pregnancy. At this stage, the belly is typically quite prominent, and the pregnancy is visibly apparent. It's a popular choice because the bump is beautifully round and well-defined.

2. 6 Months Pregnant: Some women prefer to schedule their maternity photoshoots around the 6th month of pregnancy. At this point, the bump is still noticeable, but the mother may feel more comfortable and mobile than in the later stages of pregnancy.

3. Personal Preference: I like later stages when belly is more prominent however as the camera can really make things appear larger than they are 8 months is perfecto. 

4. Seasonal Considerations: Think about the weather and the season when scheduling your photoshoot. Some mothers may want to take advantage of certain seasons or scenic locations for their maternity photos.
