When to book Maternity Photoshoot in Oklahoma City

As an OKC maternity photographer, one of the most common questions I hear is “When should I book my maternity photoshoot in Oklahoma City?” If you’re expecting a baby in Oklahoma City, congratulations!

If you’re wondering when to book your maternity photoshoot in Oklahoma City, this blog will walk you through the ideal timing, what to expect from a session, and how to make the most of this incredibly special season.

Why Maternity Photos Matter

These photos become more than just keepsakes, they’re part of your child’s story. I can’t count how many times my daughters have looked at my maternity photos and asked, “Is that me in your belly?” It’s one of the sweetest connections we have to that season. Your photos will hold meaning for both you and your child for years to come.

When to Book Maternity Photoshoot in OKC

Most moms-to-be book their maternity session between late 2nd trimester to early 3rd trimester, anywhere between 28–32 weeks. That’s the sweet spot when your belly is round and visible but you’re still feeling comfortable enough to move around. This gives you enough time to also get your images back and enjoy them before your baby arrives. Of course, every pregnancy is different, and we’ll work together to find the best timing for you. If you’re past this window—don’t worry. If I have availability, I will do my best to get you scheduled.

When to Reserve Your Session

While the session might take place late in the 2nd trimester or early 3rd third trimester, I recommend reserving your spot as early as possible by 20–24 weeks, especially if you’re due during a busy season (spring and fall tend to fill quickly). Booking early ensures you get your preferred date and time, you have time to plan your wardrobe and location, and you have time to enjoy your images before your baby arrives. Doing this ensures you don’t have to worry about booking a photographer last minute and wondering if you can reserve a spot. You deserve a maternity experience that feels calm and joyful, not rushed or last-minute.

What’s Included in a Maternity Session with Me

When you work with me as your OKC maternity photographer, you’re not just getting digital images, you’re getting a full service experience. I walk you through everything from start to finish. A session with Amy Chamberlain Photography includes a wardrobe for mothers that include dresses that are flattering and timeless, planning of your session discussing the location, whether outdoors or inside my cozy studio and vision for your portrait session. I also include artwork design of heirloom albums or framed pieces that celebrate your motherhood journey. My sessions are relaxed, natural, and designed to help you feel confident and beautiful.

Looking for a Maternity + Newborn?

Many of my clients choose to book both maternity and newborn sessions together to ensure a seamless, consistent experience. It’s such a gift to tell your baby’s full story from before they arrive to those first snuggly days in your arms to their first birthday. That’s why I offer a collective membership that includes 3 to 4 sessions throughout your baby’s first year. You can choose from maternity, newborn, 6 month, and 1 year sessions. This option includes an artwork credit for you to start building a beautiful heirloom album of your precious baby as well as a session video for one session of your choice.
