What To Wear For A Maternity Photoshoot
Having a maternity photoshoot can be a beautiful and memorable experience for so many reasons. You'll create lasting memories - imagine showing the photos to your baby when they are older 'that's you in there'. It's a chance to include your partner and any older siblings, making it special for everyone, not to mention boosting your confidence by celebrating your body, but...... WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO WEAR?........
First of all, remember that these photos are for you. You don't have to share them with friends or on social media, they are your personal memories and if you want to keep them private then you should, and just wear what you want to!!
Showcase your bump:
Form-fitting dresses or tops that hug your curves can create a beautiful silhouette and highlight the shape of your beautiful bump. In our studio we have a couple of outfits and beautiful lighting that really accentuate your pregnant belly.
Underwear:
Speak to your photographer and ask if your underwear will be on show and what colours they recommend. If you know the gender of your baby, you might want to consider adding a splash of pink or blue to personalise it. Yes, this is an excuse to do a bit a pretty underwear shopping (you're welcome).
Flowing fabrics:
Flowy dresses or skirts can create a soft and ethereal look, adding a touch of elegance to your photos. These types of garments can also provide movement and create beautiful, dynamic shots.
Comfort is key:
Opt for clothing made from soft, stretchy, and breathable fabrics that will keep you comfortable throughout the photoshoot. Maternity-specific clothing or garments with an empire line can provide extra comfort and accommodate your growing belly. Why not make it more personal by wearing your partner's oversized shirt?
Include your partner and family:
If you're including your partner or siblings in the photoshoot, coordinate outfits to create a cohesive look, or consider a bare chest for Daddy and young siblings.
Making it special
It can be hard work with all this gorgeous modelling, so we like to make sure we have snacks and drinks on hand for Mama-to-be (and kids) just to make it extra special.
