I am only 6 weeks right now, but am unsure of when to schedule pictures, I don't want to be HUGE and uncomfortable but I also want to be very visibly pregnant. Any good jump off points? I know everyone is diffrent!

Photographers usually recommend 34/35/36/37 weeks.
I'm doing mine at 34 weeks. I'll have a nice big belly, which I'm glad for, but I've really started packing on the pounds in the last few weeks and now my face is a lot rounder and includes an extra chin. I kind of wish I had taken them a little earlier. I'm 31 weeks right now.

I got mine done at 30 weeks, which I knew would be pretty early but they ended up okay. My face wasn't swollen yet, but I still think I look pretty big!

I just did mine at 31 and that worked for me - but I have been showing early and looking bigger. If I were you I'd wait until at least 20 to book and see how you feel. I am just starting to outgrow some of my maternity clothes, so if I had waited any longer I would've had to buy new outfits. I was also worried about gaining water weight later on and looking more puffy

I think I was about 29 wks along when we did mine... I did it after dinner to get an extra round, big bump

Hmm...If I had done them. I probably would have scheduled them around 30 weeks, but really think my bump looked best around 34/35 weeks! So it's hard to tell...I think anytime between 30 and 35 weeks would probably work

I did mine at 37 weeks (I know pretty late), next time I would do them at 36 though, I literally started swelling the day of my pictures (though my photographer did a great job of minimizing/hiding the puffiness).

I did mine at 32 weeks and honestly can't imagine doing it any later. At that point you could definitely tell I was pregnant. The week after I was crazy swollen, back ached and was overall uncomfortable.

I did mine at 34 weeks...while my face was getting a little puffy by that point, my belly was definitely big and looked good in the pics I would say anytime from 31-35 weeks is probably good.

I did mine at 33 weeks and I felt like I had to really push my belly out to look as pregnant as I wanted to look. I remember thinking 'maybe I should have done these later'. But then later that week I found myself in emerge and had a little scare that maybe I was delivering super early (but it was just a kidney stone) and I remember thinking 'I'm sure glad I didn't leave those photos too late: I might have not made it!"
