What are those outfits that make you feel like a glowing and confident mom-to-be?
Maternity photos are a beautiful way to celebrate this special chapter of your life. Choosing the right outfit can make all the difference in creating images that you’ll cherish forever.
Here are some simple tips to help you feel comfortable, confident, and radiant during your maternity photoshoot.
Comfort comes first
The most important thing is to wear something that feels comfortable and makes you feel like yourself. Go for outfits that allow you to move freely and don’t restrict your growing belly. Maxi dresses or stretchy fabrics are perfect options, as they are soft, breathable, and flattering.
Stick to a simple palette
Choose 2-3 coordinating colors for your outfit, especially if your partner or kids are joining the shoot. Solid colors and pastel shades like cream, blush pink, mint green, or light grey work beautifully. These shades create a timeless, elegant look that keeps the focus on your baby bump. Avoid logos, text, or bold patterns as they can be distracting in photos.
Outfit ideas for stunning photos
- Flattering dresses: Choose dresses that highlight your shape. A fitted top above your belly paired with a flowy skirt can create a beautiful silhouette. Dresses with a slit add elegance and allow you to show off your belly creatively.
- Maxi dresses: Floor-length gowns make you feel elegant and photograph beautifully. You can bring a few options to find what feels best.
- Casual looks: For a relaxed vibe, try jeans paired with a crop top or cardigan. Unbuttoned pre-pregnancy jeans also make for a fun, casual look.
- Lace outfits: Lace is a timeless choice for maternity photos. It offers a see-through effect to highlight your bump while keeping things elegant.
- Semi-nude styles: If you’re comfortable, semi-nude or nude looks can create stunning, artistic photos. Many moms feel shy at first but end up loving how these images turn out.
Experiment with fabrics
Fabrics like chiffon, tulle, and gauze can add a creative touch to your photos. We do provide these options, or you can bring your own to experiment with artistic styles.
Layer with jumpers and cardigans
For a cozy, textured look, consider long-sleeve jumpers or cardigans. These pair well with lingerie and are great for hiding areas you might feel less confident about, like arms.
Final tips
Keep more outfit options than you think you’ll need. This way, you and your photographer can decide on the best look together. Remember, the goal is to feel confident and comfortable so your joy shines through in every photo.
