Common Questions
When is the best time to schedule a maternity photo shoot in Chesapeake?
The ideal time for a Chesapeake maternity photo shoot is between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. Your baby bump will be beautifully visible, and you'll still feel comfortable enough to enjoy the experience. We recommend booking your Chesapeake maternity photographer 2-3 months in advance.
