Maternity photos - WWYD?

So I have been struggling with when to do my maternity photos.  I don't want to do them in the dead of winter (no leaves on trees, blah scenery) so I was thinking October.  When I have them scheduled for now I will be 24/25 weeks.  I included a pic below of what I look like now at almost 19wks...

I know I will loose the essence of the twin belly (ie not very big) but I figured I would look large enough to get the pictures to reflect maternity and still be comfortable to do them outside. 

When did you ladies do yours and do you think it will be ok at 24 weeks?

I know I am probably over thinking this ladies so thank you very much in advance!

    I'm curious when others did their pictures. I am trying to figure out when I should schedule mine. I don't want to be too huge and uncomfortable and with the holidays I think it might be hard to find a good time.

    I did mine just last week at 34 weeks. I chose to wait because the main reason I wanted maternity photos is to remember how large I am! But, at 24 weeks you will have a nice size bump and you can get the outdoor shots you want. Plus waiting too long could be a problem if you end up with ptl or bed rest. It's all about your preference!

    Here is a pic from my shoot at 24 weeks. I wanted to do it early because I wanted to feel pretty and not wait until I felt like a hippo. We do weekly belly shots at home so I will still have a record of my ginormousness as the pregnancy progresses. :)

    I vote for sooner rather than later.  I think 24/25 weeks is perfect. You'll have a good-sized belly, but you'll still be able to walk around to different locations and feel fairly comfortable.  I couldn't imagine doing maternity shots right now... I can barely get off the couch without assistance.

    We did ours about a month ago when I was 26 weeks.  I think they turned out great!!  I wasn't too big but had plenty of belly.  I'm feeling pretty miserable now, so I'm glad we did them when we did!  Check out our photographer's blog! :)

    I debated.  they said i should be "32-34" weeks and since I measured about 6 weeks ahead, I planned for 26 weeks.  I too wanted to feel my pregnancy "glow" in the pics and so I opted for earlier.  I don't have the pics now - should have them in a few days, message me if you want to see them.

    Thank you so much ladies!  I think I am going to stick with my schedule and go ahead and lock that down.  I think more than another month of growth and I may not want to be up and around as much.

    I did my twin pics at 29 weeks (almost 30 weeks) and my singleton pics at 35 weeks. I'm glad I did the twin pics early because my skin broke at 32 weeks and I would have been devastated if that happened before my pics.
