Pregnancy is one of the most powerful and beautiful chapters in a woman’s life — and it deserves to be documented with elegance and care. At Mohastudio, we specialize in capturing motherhood in its most radiant form through luxury maternity photography. But one question we hear often is: “When is the best time to do my maternity photoshoot?”
Here’s everything you need to know to plan your dream session — from the ideal time to shoot to tips for glowing photos that celebrate your journey.
When Is the Best Time for a Maternity Photoshoot?
The best time for a maternity session is between 28 to 34 weeks of pregnancy. At this stage:
• Your belly is beautifully round and defined
• You still have the energy to pose comfortably
• Swelling is minimal and you still feel like yourself
If you’re expecting twins, we recommend scheduling between 26 to 30 weeks.
Why This Timing Matters
Maternity photography is all about honoring the strength and softness of this phase. Waiting too late in your pregnancy can lead to fatigue, swelling, or discomfort during posing. On the other hand, shooting too early may not capture the full beauty of your bump.
Choosing the perfect time ensures you feel:
• Confident and feminine
• Physically comfortable for posing
• Emotionally connected and empowered
Indoor or Outdoor? We Offer Both.
Our Dubai-based studio offers:
• Luxury indoor setups with elegant fabrics, curated backdrops, and fine lighting
• Outdoor golden hour sessions at scenic locations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi — perfect for Emirati-inspired gowns or natural sunset vibes
Our stylists will guide you in selecting the best option for your vision, weather, and comfort.
What to Wear for Your Maternity Session
At Mohastudio, our clients get exclusive access to a client wardrobe filled with:
• Flowing gowns in neutral and earthy tones
• Elegant abayas and modern kaftans
• Form-fitting dresses to show off the bump
We also offer custom looks inspired by Emirati heritage, for mamas who want to honor their roots with a regal touch.
How to Prepare for Stunning Results
• Hydrate well the day before your session
• Get a good night’s sleep — your face will glow naturally
• Consider soft glam makeup and a simple hairstyle
• Trust our team to guide your poses and expressions — no modeling experience needed!
When to Book Your Session
We recommend booking your maternity photoshoot around 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy. This ensures availability during your ideal shoot window (28–34 weeks), especially during peak seasons.
