One of the first questions I hear from moms planning maternity photos is, “What am I supposed to wear?”


The good news is that you don't need a complicated wardrobe or a closet full of maternity clothes to have beautiful maternity photos. The most important thing is choosing something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful.


As a Manor, TX maternity photographer, I help my clients plan their outfits so they feel prepared before they even step into the studio. Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing what to wear for your maternity session.

Choose Something That Shows Your Bump


Maternity photos are about celebrating your pregnancy, so don't be afraid to wear something fitted.


A fitted dress, bodysuit, or stretchy gown can beautifully show the shape of your belly while still being comfortable. If fitted clothing isn't your thing, that's completely okay too. Flowing dresses and skirts can create beautiful movement while still highlighting your bump.


The best outfit is one that makes you feel like yourself.

Neutrals Are Always a Good Choice


If you're completely unsure where to start, neutrals are an easy choice.


Think:


  • Cream
  • White
  • Beige
  • Tan
  • Brown
  • Black
  • Soft gray
  • Muted pinks or blues


Neutral colors keep the focus on you and your belly and work well with a variety of studio setups and backdrops.


That doesn't mean you have to avoid color. If you love bold colors, wear them! Your maternity photos should still reflect your personality.

Think About the Style of Your Session


Your outfit should complement the type of maternity photos you want.


For a classic studio session, a fitted gown or simple dress can create a clean and timeless look.


If you want something more dramatic, you might choose a flowing gown, statement dress, or more editorial look.


For something casual, jeans with a simple top can create a completely different feel.


There isn't one "correct" maternity photography outfit. Your session should be built around the look you want.
