In my opinion, maternity photos should be scheduled after 28 weeks and prior to 36 weeks, depending on the size of your belly and what your own personal preference is there. You want to have a cute belly but also not be so terribly uncomfortable that you might not want to do some light hiking/moving around in different positions. 

I always suggest my mamas wear at least one fitted gown to show all of your stunning baby curves and one looser, flowing gown so we can get some really pretty movement. BUT ultimately, this comes down to what you are COMFORTABLE in. If you are completely out of your comfort zone it will often show in your images. I have photographed stunning mamas in beautiful gowns and I have photographed them in some cute jeans too. Feel free to send me your ideas, I'm always open to help!

I don't have this listed, but I'm willing to work with you on a package if this is something you are interested in! 

This is another resounding NO. I do NOT do body edits, at all, ever. I'm a huge advocate for every person's real, natural beauty being portrayed true to life. I do minor retouching like removal of obvious blemishes/cuts when possible, flyaway hairs that are very distracting, and small stains when possible. If you have specific angles you prefer to be photographed at, just let me know! I know we all have a "good side" and I will do my very best to work with you in real time while we shoot in regards to any major insecurities.
