Choosing what to wear for your maternity photos can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. For the best experience, choose a studio that allows multiple looks during your maternity session and provides personalized styling guidance.


Here’s a simple guide to help you feel confident, beautiful, and fully prepared.

 

1. Denim Jeans & a White Top

Timeless and casual that photographs beautifully on everyone. Choose from:

  • white relaxed button-down shirt
  • white lace bralette
  • white sports bra
  • white bando
  • white crop top
  • Soft pastel top
  • Add a bouquet of flowers for extra sweetness

2. Opt for Flowy or Fitted Dresses

Both styles work beautifully:

  • Flowy gowns create movement and elegance—the ultimate classic & timeless option
  • Fitted dresses highlight your bump & are perfect for silhouettes
  • Silk dresses are simple & elegant
  • Maternity robes add a little lace or intricate detail to your session & are perfect for implied nudes or with a bodysuit

Choose from:

  • Long-sleeve bodysuits
  • Spaghetti-strap bodysuits
  • Halter bodysuits
  • Asymmetric Bodysuits
  • Lace bodysuits

4. Keep It Simple

Avoid:

  • Busy patterns
  • Logos
  • Trend-heavy outfits

Timeless is always best.


5. Coordinate, Don’t Match (For Family Photos)

When including family:

  • Stick to a cohesive color palette
  • Avoid identical outfits


6. Consider a Studio Wardrobe
