5. The golden hour formula given by professional photographers
According to questionnaire feedback from 500+ photography studios across the Internet:Ideal shooting time = 8-12 weeks before due date. This period can not only ensure the perfect curve of the pregnant belly, but also prevent the expectant mother from being too tired. It is recommended to reserve a studio 2-3 weeks in advance and pay attention to:
1. Choose to shoot at 10 a.m. or 3 p.m. to avoid edema caused by progesterone.
2. Prepare 2-3 sets of clothing, but the changing time of each set should not exceed 10 minutes.
3. Bring high-calorie snacks to replenish your energy
4. Give priority to studios with special rest areas for pregnant women
6. Notes on special cases
For pregnant women with twins, it is recommended to advance the shooting time to22-26 weeks, because:
| Comparative item | Pregnant women with singleton pregnancy | Pregnant women with twins |
|---|---|---|
| pregnancy belly time | Around 20 weeks | Around 16 weeks |
| Best shooting period | 28-32 weeks | 22-26 weeks |
| Single shooting duration | 2-3 hours | Recommended ≤1.5 hours |
Finally, I would like to remind all expectant mothers that the core of maternity photos is to record love and expectations, and there is no need to overly pursue perfection. Flexibly adjust the time according to your own physical condition and maintain a happy mood is the most beautiful state of pregnancy.
