 Planning Tips for Pregnancy Announcement Photos

To help make your session as smooth and meaningful as possible, here are a few quick tips:

 

📅 Time It Right

 

Most couples choose to schedule pregnancy announcement photos between 8–13 weeks, once they’ve seen baby on ultrasound and feel ready to share the news. But there’s no rule—this is your journey!

🎀 Bring a Simple Prop

A baby onesie, ultrasound printout, due date sign, or a sweet pair of baby shoes makes your announcement feel personal and clear in photos.

📍 Pick the Right Time of Day

Shevlin Park glows beautifully during golden hour (right before sunset), offering soft light and warm tones that add a dreamy touch to your session.

🧣 Dress Comfortably and Confidently

Even if you’re not showing yet, choose something that makes you feel comfortable and excited to celebrate this moment. Neutral tones and soft textures photograph beautifully in natural settings like Shevlin.
