The details of your body are beautiful and deserve to be celebrated.
You are now a mother-to-be… wow!
This is the time to marvel at your body.
A time to embrace and appreciate your body for possessing such power and raw femininity.
Whether you’ve booked your session, or are waiting to take the plunge, I’ll give you the rundown on everything you need to prepare for a flawless maternity session.
A maternity photoshoot is all about celebrating you and your little one who is about to enter the world. Together, we’ll capture this unforgettable time in your life.
Sounds like a dream, right? At Little Moons, it’s very attainable!

The perfect timing for your maternity photoshoot.
Typically, the best time to get your maternity photos done is in your third trimester. During this time, your bump is big enough to be the focus of every photo.
There will be a difference between whether you decide to book around 28 weeks or 38 weeks, and that difference is movement!
The longer you wait the harder it will be to stand for long periods, and positions might be limited. Scheduling your session earlier in the third trimester will ensure comfortable posing and easier movement.
Pampering yourself, like the goddess that you are.
From your hair to your toes, we will be capturing it all, so you want to be looking and feeling your best!
In the week before your session, consider what appointments are appropriate to help you look your best…
Get a manicure and pedicure.
- Decide if you want clean natural nails with a clear topcoat or a colour to match the shoot.
Book an appointment with an aesthetician
- Tame any unruly eyebrow situations, or get a soothing facial to boost that glow.
Schedule a hair appointment
- Whether you get a blowout, curls, or a cut… stay true to your most authentic self.
Hire a makeup artist
- Make artists will be able to help your natural radiance translate on camera. You can always practice some of your own makeup looks leading up to the shoot to make sure you know exactly what to do on the day!
Figuring out the perfect outfits.
Now you’re probably wondering, what on earth am I going to wear for this maternity photoshoot…
