For those of you who did them, when do you think is the best time to have them done? I have a friend who does amateur photography, so I want to have her do a short session with us, just so I have something from this time. I just don't want to let it go too long and start feeling too big or uncomfortable to enjoy it and like the photos.
Also, if you have any of yourself that you love or links for ideas, I would love those, too. She's new enough at this that giving her some ideas would be helpful.
I do photography on the side. I think 30-34 weeks is a good time, depending on how big the belly is and if you're retaining water or not. I've done some around 28 weeks and they were fab.
ETA - it really just depends on the belly and how comfortable you're feeling in your own skin, and when you feel your most beautiful. Does that make sense?
I did them early, I think 32-34 weeks or so. I just did pictures of me and H downtown, much like an engagement shoot. I don't really like the cheesy maternity shots- blocks on the belly, hearts over the stomach, it just wasn't me.

Yeah, I'm mostly with you on that, but I do want a few that are really focused on the belly. His hands around me, that sort of thing.

We did those, the one that's my favorite is one with H's hands on my belly. But that felt natural.
Obviously people should do what they want but a lot of the typical maternity shots when I was pregnant just didn't appeal to me.
I did mine at 31 weeks. I wanted them done before Christmas so that's how timing worked out. I felt like I had a good bump, but I also would have been fine to take them later.
