Here are some tips for helping you choose what to wear for your Maternity Photo session

Deciding what to wear for you maternity photo session isn’t always easy.  I hope these tips help lead you in the right direction.  I love to help clients pick their clothing for sessions so please don’t hesitate to reach out with outfit choices or ask for links for suggestions.

 

 

Show off your belly for your maternity photos

Wear something that is form fitting to your belly.  After all, you are documenting this special time while your baby grows inside you and want to show it off.

Maternity Dresses

If you hate dresses, then this recommendation may not be for you.   If you do wear dresses though, or are indifferent to dresses I recommend wearing a long maxi type dress. Long flowy dresses show off the belly and give great movement and texture to your photos.  They are flattering for almost all body types.  They also create a soft and romantic look for your maternity session.  I always get so excited when I arrive at a session and see that the Mama to be has chosen a long flowy dress.  If you need help finding a dress I am happy to send you a few links of suggestions.

Comfortable maternity photo session outfit

Your maternity photo session is not the time to try to squeeze into those pre pregnancy jeans or stiletto heals.  Wear something that you are comfortable and can move around in.  As I mentioned above long dresses are perfect for this not only do they look great but they are usually very comfortable.

Coordinate everyone else’s photo session outfits off of your outfit

Pick your dress/outfit first and then use that as your color pallet for the rest of your family’s outfits.
