Pregnancy is such a tender, fleeting season, and it deserves to be remembered in a way that feels gentle, authentic, and deeply you. One of the most common questions I hear from expecting moms is, “When should I schedule my maternity photos?” If you’re thinking about planning a maternity session in Jacksonville or St. Augustine, the timing truly helps shape how confident, comfortable, and radiant you’ll feel — and that matters so much for your experience. ✨🤍

The sweetest window for maternity photos is usually between 28 and 34 weeks. This is the stage when your baby bump has that beautifully round shape that photographs so well, and you still feel comfortable enough to move with ease and enjoy the moment. Your glow is unmistakable, your excitement is building, and you’re stepping into this new chapter with so much grace — and all of that translates beautifully on camera. 🌿🤰

In Jacksonville, this magical stage pairs perfectly with a soft sunrise at the beach or warm golden light filtering across the marsh. 🌅 The breeze, the textures, the colors — everything feels serene and calming. In St. Augustine, that same glow is absolutely breathtaking against the coquina walls, cobblestone streets, and historic charm. There’s something timeless about photographing motherhood in a place that’s held its beauty for hundreds of years. 🕊️

And remember… every pregnancy is unique. If you’re expecting multiples, showing earlier, or simply feel more comfortable with a slightly earlier session, we can adapt the timing to fit you. Your comfort always comes first. You deserve to feel your best — relaxed, supported, and beautifully seen for your maternity photos in Jacksonville or St Augustine. 💛

Because this ideal window is so specific, many moms choose to book their maternity session early in their second trimester. That way, we can choose the perfect day, the perfect location, and create a session that feels intentional and calm — not rushed. Whether you’re dreaming of sandy toes at Jacksonville Beach or a quiet, romantic stroll through St. Augustine, planning ahead ensures everything comes together effortlessly. 🌊✨

This season you’re in right now… it’s powerful. It’s full of hope, anticipation, and love that grows a little more each day. Your maternity photos become part of your baby’s story — a reminder of the strength and beauty that carried them into the world. 🤍
