A dreamy studio maternity photoshoot in Edmonton Alberta.
Pregnancy is such a beautiful, fleeting season let’s capture it beautifully.
Whether you’re a first time mama or growing your family, maternity photography is such a powerful way to honour this chapter of your life. If you're in Edmonton, Leduc, Wetaskiwin, or the Fraser Valley, BC this little guide is for you. I’ll walk you through when to book, what to expect, and how to prep for a session that feels relaxed, natural, and totally you.
I hope this guide can help you feel more confident and excited about your maternity session, whether it's your first or your third!
When’s the Best Time to Book a Maternity Session?
The sweet spot for maternity photos is usually between 28–34 weeks. Your bump is looking gorgeous and round, but you’re still (hopefully) feeling comfy enough to move around and have fun during the shoot.
That said, every pregnancy is unique! If you're showing early or carrying multiples, we’ll adjust your timing so it works best for your body and your energy.
Pro tip: If you're in Edmonton, Leduc, Wetaskiwin, or the Fraser Valley, aim to book your session 2–3 months in advance. That gives us time to plan locations, outfits, and all the little details that make your session magic.
