I'm interested in maternity portraits. When is the best time to have these done?
I prefer moms to at least be 32-34 weeks. The best clothing choices are solid black, solid white and jeans with a simple button up shirt or tube top. Do not wear tight fitting clothing to the photo shoot such as elastic, as you will have impressions in your skin, especially around your belly or bra area
