I am not doing one but my doc said the best ones are from 28-31 weeks. Any earlier and they are still really skinny and any later, they are too big to get good pictures.
I'm doing mine at 25 weeks. The place I'm going to said anytime between 25 and 30 weeks was ideal.

It's a girl!
With DD I went at 31 weeks and got a few really great pictures. They tried for 45 mins but she really wasn't cooperating - so we got to go back (for free!) the following week - where we got to see her for another hour and got some more great pictures. I've scheduled mine this time for 30 weeks because that is what worked best with everyone's schedule that we were inviting.
We will be getting ours at 28 weeks. Our 3D/4D office stated 23-27 weeks is best if you want wide shots of the baby's body and 28-33 weeks is best for facial features. It also is the best time for us to go because we will have family in town that weekend and will be able to bring our DVD video of the u/s home to show them!
We got a "test" 3D/4D at 14w. She recommended that we come back around 8-9 months for better pictures. I honestly won't go that close to the end because it seems like a waste of money...I'm going to see my baby in a few weeks anyways so why spend all that money????
I will invest in Newborn and Maternity photos instead.
