I have never done maternity pics so to say. With my first my husband paid Ted my belly and took pics. With my second my husband and son painted my belly and took pics. We will be doing same with baby #3.

I'm getting mine done this Thursday @ 33 weeks!!! I didn't want to go to a store and get them done there, so we hired a photographer to come to a park we picked out and take our pictures there. There really isn't a price difference - 120

It all depends on where you live :) I'm a photographer who's been shooting professionally for almost a year and I only charge $50 usually for like an hour and about 10-12 pictures to print. Like others said it's best to wait as long as you can but not be too close to the due date :) I planned on having some done around my birthday at the end of may since I was due at the end of June but I lost the baby. Definitely recommend taking pictures it's a memory worth paying to remember that's for sure :)

I just did mine at 33 weeks now I'm 35 and I'm glad I took them when I did because I'm starting to get pretty uncomfortable. I think it also depends how well you're showing and just make sure its not too late in your pregnancy just in case!

I work for jcp portraits in virginia, usa.... and I plan to take my pics next week. I'll be 34 weeks along. On average we recommend that mom's to be between 34 and 37 weeks ( you don't want to be in labor taking portraits lol) and for me pricing isn't that expensive... I bought a groupon (3 image cd and 1 print) but I'm gonna upgrade to full session cd for 80$ so I can get all my pictures

I just did mine this last Sat. I was 28 weeks and 4 days. Ive got a decent bump. I think The later the better or how well you are showing. We were fortunant enough to get snow this last week so I wouldnt have dead everything around me, all the leaves are gone off the trees. It was a very cold Sat to lol but so much fun and my photographer was great. I cant wait to see how the photos turned out. I paid her $100 originally $200 but we got military dicount do to my bf being a vet. Im going to tip her when shes done with my photos though since some people just dont appreciate others and what they do for us!
