When to stop accepting wedding photography jobs??

Question

Ladies, first time momma here! I have a full time job but also take professional photos when asked. I have been asked to book a wedding on December 15th if this year. 
I am due January 19th! So that being said, do other mommas with experience think I will be able to handle shooting a wedding all day on my feet at 8 months pregnant? 
My fear is saying yes and accepting the deposit and then not feeling up to it for whatever reason! Who has advice? 🤷🏼‍♀️😅

Answer

Personally, I wouldn’t. You are already having doubts about being able to finish the work in time and as the date creeps closer those doubts will probably grow rather than shrink. Enjoy the last few weeks without the baby, rest and kick your feet up. Who knows, you might have extremely swollen feet or have the baby early, or you could be just dandy, but it’s so close to call.

Answer

My sister is a full time photographer and she’s trying to get pregnant and already no accepting weddings for around when her due date would be. It’s a 14+ hour day usually and should you have the baby early, bed in bed rest, etc yuh could ruin this bride’s day by not being able to provide the memories for her.

Answer

As a fellow Photographer in the same situation (FT job but still do side gigs) I personally wouldn't. BUT I have a bad back while pregnant so I just did a senior session yesterday and did great throughout, I was sore last night. 
If you did, I'd already have a contingency plan. Do you have any friends that are also photographers?

Answer

Im a nurse who is on my feet almost my.whole shift and i worked until 38 weeks. Its definitely possible. Dont get me wrong youll be tired
