💡 Pro Tips for an Amazing Maternity Shoot:

• Schedule between 28–34 weeks — the bump is round and beautiful, and you’re still comfortable.

• Wear solid or flowy outfits that highlight your shape.

• Stay hydrated & take breaks — your comfort is the priority.

• Choose a location that reflects your vibe — garden, beach, home, or a styled studio.
