Timing Is Everything: When to Capture and Share
The timing of your announcement can make a big difference in how special it feels. Here are some tips to get it just right:
Plan Around Golden Hour: For outdoor photos, aim for the hour after sunrise or before sunset for soft, natural light.
Work with Holiday Timelines: Choose moments when everyone’s attention is on the magic—like opening gifts, the New Year’s countdown, or a Valentine’s dinner.
Be Mindful of Your Pregnancy Timeline: Share whenever it feels right for you—many couples wait until after the first trimester, but the holidays offer special opportunities for earlier announcements.
Keep it Personal: Want a private reveal first? Announce to close family in person and save the big social media reveal for later.
