Styling Guide for Maternity Sessions

Figuring out what to wear could be one of the most stressful parts of this whole process, but I got you!

6 Steps To Selecting the Perfect Outfits for Your Maternity Photos

1. Comfort is key!

Select breathable fabrics such as cotton, jersey, or chiffon to allow you to move freely. Go for stretchy material so that your outfit will accommodate your growing bump in comfort.

2. Highlight your bump.

Choose fitted clothing that is form-fitting around your belly to accentuate your bump. Consider wrap dresses as they highlight your shape, are adjustable, and fit comfortably.

3. Color choice matters.

Select neutral tones. Soft colors like white, beige, or pastel shades create a timeless look. Avoid busy patterns. Solid colors keep the focus on you rather that the outfit.

4. Coordinate with the setting.

Consider the theme and location of your session. A beach setting calls for a flowy drees while an urban setting works well with more structured outfits.

5. Think about layers.

Ad variety with layers such as cardigans, shawls, or even a denim jacket. These add depth to your images. Make sure layers are seasonally appropriate so you are comfortable in the weather conditions.

6. Accessorize thoughtfully.

Keep your accessories simple. Minimalist jewelry or a flower crown can add a touch of elegance without overwhelming your outfit. Incorporate sentimental items for a special touch.
