Well, I had clients coming with an entire suitcase and others coming just with underwear and relying on the studio pieces. But I typically recommend bringing <strong>2 to 3 outfits<\/strong> to your session that are unique to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about creating different moods or styles. You might choose:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One elegant, flowing or fitted dress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One casual look with jeans and white shirt or oversized blazer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One intimate option in beautiful lingerie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you could bring variations on the same theme. Three different gowns in complementary colours, for example, or multiple casual combinations that work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, more isn&#8217;t always better. Quality over quantity creates a more cohesive, timeless gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-general-styling-guidelines-for-maternity-photos\">General Styling Guidelines for Maternity Photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive into specific outfit ideas, let me share some fundamental principles that apply to nearly every maternity photoshoot:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comfort is essential.<\/strong> Choose clothing that allows you to move freely and doesn&#8217;t constrict your growing belly. You&#8217;ll be posing, moving, and shifting throughout the session. If you&#8217;re uncomfortable, it will show in your face and body language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Show off your shape.<\/strong> The whole purpose of maternity photos is to celebrate your beautiful pregnant form. Avoid anything too baggy or loose that hides your bump. We want to see those gorgeous curves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coordinate colours thoughtfully.<\/strong> If your partner or children are joining you, stick to a palette of 2-3 colours that work together harmoniously. This creates visual cohesion in your images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choose simple over busy.<\/strong> Plain clothing without logos, text, or large patterns photographs best. These elements distract from what matters most: you and your baby bump. Solid colours and subtle textures create a timeless feel that won&#8217;t date your photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Embrace soft, neutral tones.<\/strong> Cream, white, blush pink, mint green, sage, and light grey are classic choices for maternity photography. They create clean, elegant images that highlight your belly beautifully. That said, don&#8217;t be afraid of deeper tones like navy, burgundy, or forest green if they suit your style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-underwear-to-wear-for-maternity-photos\">What Underwear to Wear for Maternity Photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Underwear deserves careful consideration for your maternity shoot, whether you&#8217;re planning intimate photos or simply need something to wear beneath your dresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-maternity-photos.jpg\" alt=\"What to wear for maternity photos - intimate maternity photography in simple black lingerie in London studio\" class=\"wp-image-5988\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-maternity-photos.jpg 667w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-maternity-photos-50x75.jpg 50w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-maternity-photos-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-maternity-photos-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-essential-underwear-to-bring\">Essential Underwear to Bring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I ask all my clients to bring <strong>three sets of underwear in different colours<\/strong>: white, black, and nude (skin colour). This ensures we have options that work with whatever outfit or backdrop you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For wearing under clothing:<\/strong> Choose simple, smooth underwear with no visible lines or patterns. You want pieces that disappear under fabric, not create bumps or show through. Seamless styles work best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For intimate maternity photos:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re planning images in just your lingerie, you can opt for something more sophisticated. Lace details, delicate straps, and beautiful fabrics elevate these intimate portraits. Again, have options in both black and white so we can adapt to different lighting and backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bra considerations:<\/strong> A simple, smooth bra works under most dresses and tops. If you&#8217;re showing your shoulders or doing more revealing poses, consider a strapless option or a beautiful bralette. Some clients prefer to go without a bra entirely and use adhesive nipple covers instead, which eliminates any strap concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-styling-ideas-for-intimate-maternity-shoots\">Styling Ideas for Intimate Maternity Shoots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Intimate maternity photos in beautiful lingerie create some of the most tender, memorable images. These aren&#8217;t meant to be provocative. They&#8217;re about celebrating your changing body and the life growing inside you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lingerie alone.<\/strong> Simple, elegant underwear paired with a beautiful bra or bandeau creates clean, powerful images that focus entirely on your form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lingerie with a cardigan or oversized shirt.<\/strong> If you want a bit more coverage, try wearing an open cardigan or your partner&#8217;s shirt loosely over your lingerie. This adds softness and can be adjusted throughout the shoot to show more or less skin as you&#8217;re comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bodysuit options.<\/strong> A fitted bodysuit can walk the line between covered and revealing beautifully. Choose lace or sheer options for added visual interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These photos are incredibly intimate and often become treasured private keepsakes. They show your pregnant body in all its raw beauty. If you&#8217;re considering this style, let&#8217;s chat beforehand so I can help you feel completely comfortable and prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Best lingerie to wear for maternity photos - three styles showing different maternity photoshoot looks\" class=\"wp-image-14158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot.jpg 1211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-the-best-jeans-for-maternity-photoshoot-and-why-maternity-jeans-don-t-work\">The Best Jeans for Maternity Photoshoot (And Why Maternity Jeans Don&#8217;t Work)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s something that surprises many clients: <strong>maternity jeans rarely photograph well<\/strong>. The stretchy panel that goes over your bump creates a visible line and bulk around your waist that&#8217;s difficult to hide in photos. It can actually make you appear larger than you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, I recommend wearing your <strong>pre-pregnancy jeans<\/strong>. Yes, your regular jeans. You don&#8217;t need to button them. Simply leave the top undone and let them sit below your bump. This creates a much more flattering shape and looks natural in photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-style-jeans-for-your-maternity-photoshoot\">How to Style Jeans for Your Maternity Photoshoot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of using jeans for your maternity photoshoot is that they can be versatile. They ground your look in something familiar and comfortable while allowing you to play with different tops. Here are styling options that work beautifully:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeans with a crop top.<\/strong> This classic combination shows off your bare belly while keeping the overall look casual and relaxed. Choose a simple, form-fitting crop top in a solid colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeans with a bandeau or simple bra.<\/strong> Even more minimal than a crop top, this option puts your beautiful bump front and centre. Opt for black, white, or nude depending on your skin tone and the mood you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeans with an open cardigan.<\/strong> This adds texture and visual interest while allowing you to show as much or as little skin as you&#8217;re comfortable with. Long sleeves are perfect if you&#8217;re self-conscious about your arms. Choose chunky knits for added dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jeans with a fitted shirt.<\/strong> For a more polished casual look, try an unbuttoned shirt worn open over your bump, or a fitted button-down with just the top few buttons fastened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of using jeans for maternity photoshoot is they feel like you. If you&#8217;re someone who lives in denim, you&#8217;ll feel confident and authentic in these images. You could pair them with a denim shirt or jacket too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Casual jeans outfit for maternity photos shown in three different shoots \n\" class=\"wp-image-14159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-photographer-london-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans.jpg 1211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-maternity-shoot-outfit-ideas-dresses-and-gowns\">Maternity Shoot Outfit Ideas: Dresses and Gowns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dresses remain the most popular choice for maternity photography, and for good reason. The right dress can be both flattering and comfortable while creating that timeless, elegant aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-perfect-silhouette-for-maternity-dresses\">The Perfect Silhouette for Maternity Dresses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing a dress for your maternity photos, look for these key elements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fitted on top.<\/strong> The bodice should be snug against your body from your shoulders to just above your belly. This shows off your shape and prevents excess fabric from hiding your bump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Empire waist or natural waistline.<\/strong> The dress should define your waist just under your bust or sit naturally at your narrowest point, then flow from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flowing skirt.<\/strong> From your belly down, look for fabric that moves. Flowy, voluminous skirts photograph beautifully and give you something to play with during the session. They add movement and romance to your images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Floor length.<\/strong> Long dresses that reach the floor create an elegant, timeless look. They make you feel graceful and photograph gorgeously, especially outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-dresses-with-a-slit\">Dresses with a slit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These have become increasingly popular, and I completely understand why. A dress with a front slit offers wonderful versatility. You can keep it closed for a more modest look, or open it to reveal your bare belly. You can show a bit of leg for a more dramatic feel.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have both white and black options with lace slits available in my studio wardrobe that you&#8217;re welcome to borrow. They work beautifully for different looks and backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/17b.jpg\" alt=\"Flowing fabric for maternity photos - artistic silhouette of pregnant woman in studio\" class=\"wp-image-5992\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/17b.jpg 667w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/17b-50x75.jpg 50w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/17b-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/17b-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-maxi-dresses-and-floor-length-gowns\">Maxi Dresses and Floor-Length Gowns <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are my personal favourites. A well-chosen maxi dress creates instant elegance and makes you feel beautiful. Look for options that are fitted through the bust and have generous, flowing skirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Off-shoulder styles add a romantic touch. Long sleeves work wonderfully if you&#8217;re self-conscious about your arms or shooting in cooler weather. Short sleeves or sleeveless options suit warmer months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stick to solid colours or very subtle patterns for the most timeless results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-outdoor-shoot-london.jpg\" alt=\"Coordinated outfits for maternity photos - couple in neutral tones during outdoor maternity photoshoot\" class=\"wp-image-14166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-outdoor-shoot-london.jpg 800w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-outdoor-shoot-london-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-outdoor-shoot-london-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/maternity-outdoor-shoot-london-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-the-power-of-fabric-in-maternity-photography\">The Power of Fabric in Maternity Photography <br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using fabric creates some of the most artistic maternity photoshoot outfit ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you come to my studio, you&#8217;re welcome to use any of my fabrics. I keep different materials including chiffon, tulle, cotton gauze, and silk. Each creates a different mood and feeling<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chiffon and silk<\/strong> create ethereal, floating effects when caught in movement. They&#8217;re perfect for creating those magical, windswept moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cotton gauze<\/strong> offers softness and texture while remaining opaque enough for various levels of coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tulle<\/strong> adds volume and drama, creating fairy-tale-like images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple piece of fabric draped over your body can become an elegant dress, a flowing cape, or an artistic element that adds movement and dimension to your photographs.

Based on what brings visitors to this article, I know many of you are specifically looking for shirt options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oversized button-down shirts.<\/strong> Your partner&#8217;s white shirt worn unbuttoned over simple underwear creates an intimate, relaxed feel. It&#8217;s modest enough to feel comfortable while still showcasing your beautiful bump. You can leave it fully open, button just one or two buttons, or play with it throughout the shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fitted long-sleeve tops.<\/strong> A simple, form-fitting long-sleeve shirt in a solid colour can be surprisingly elegant. Choose neutral tones and pair with jeans or a flowing skirt. This works especially well for autumn and winter maternity sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Crop tops with long sleeves.<\/strong> These offer the best of both worlds: coverage for your arms with your beautiful bare belly on display. Black or white options work with nearly everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Off-shoulder tops.<\/strong> These add a romantic, feminine quality to your photos while remaining relatively casual and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The key with any shirt is ensuring it fits well through the shoulders and chest, then choosing how much of your bump you&#8217;d like to reveal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans-and-white-shirt-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Maternity photoshoot outfit ideas - collection of white shirt paired with jeans for maternity photoshoot \" class=\"wp-image-14161\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans-and-white-shirt-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans-and-white-shirt-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans-and-white-shirt-1-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans-and-white-shirt-1-50x75.jpg 50w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-jeans-and-white-shirt-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-casual-looks-jumpers-and-cardigans\">Casual Looks: Jumpers and Cardigans <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If flowing gowns aren&#8217;t your style, or you simply want variety in your gallery, jumpers and cardigans offer cosy maternity photoshoot outfit ideas for those who prefer a more casual look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oversized cardigans<\/strong> worn over simple underwear or a bralette offer warmth and texture while still allowing your bump to take centre stage.

The texture of lace adds visual interest and sophistication to these intimate portraits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Strategic fabric placement.<\/strong> Using flowing fabrics strategically placed around your body creates artistic, tasteful images that celebrate your form without full exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Body as art.<\/strong> Some of my clients choose fully nude images, using their arms, hands, or careful positioning to show exactly what they&#8217;re comfortable with. These images are about celebrating the profound beauty of pregnancy in its most natural form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you&#8217;re considering this style, please know that many clients who initially felt uncertain about it ended up loving these images most.

The goal is to complement your look without competing with it or creating distracting contrasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-coordination-principles\">Coordination Principles <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dress for the same occasion.<\/strong> If you&#8217;re in a formal, flowing gown, your partner should dress accordingly in a button-down shirt or even a suit jacket. If you&#8217;re wearing jeans and a casual top, they should opt for jeans and a simple shirt or t-shirt. The formality levels should match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choose complementary colours.<\/strong> You don&#8217;t need to match exactly, but you should work within the same colour palette. If you&#8217;re in soft neutrals, your partner should avoid bright, bold colours. If you&#8217;re wearing cream, they might choose grey, white, or soft blue. Avoid having one person in light colours and the other in very dark tones, as this creates visual imbalance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep it simple.<\/strong> Just like with your own outfit, your partner should avoid logos, busy patterns, or anything distracting. Solid colours work best. Small checks or subtle patterns can work if they&#8217;re not too contrasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consider the background.<\/strong> If we&#8217;re shooting with neutral backdrops, your partner has more flexibility. For outdoor sessions, earthy tones like grey, brown, navy, and forest green work beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-specific-outfit-suggestions-for-partners\">Specific Outfit Suggestions for Partners <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Formal option:<\/strong> Dress shirt with trousers, optionally add a suit jacket. Skip the tie unless you&#8217;re going for a very formal feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smart casual:<\/strong> Well-fitted jeans with a button-down shirt, sleeves rolled up for a relaxed feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Casual:<\/strong> Quality jeans with a plain, well-fitted t-shirt in a neutral colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For intimate photos:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re planning some images in just lingerie, your partner can also dress down to create balanced, intimate couple portraits. This might mean just jeans, or even coordinating underwear if you&#8217;re both comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important thing is that your partner feels comfortable and confident. When both of you feel good in what you&#8217;re wearing, it shows in your images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-photos-with-partner-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"What partners should wear for maternity photos - coordinated couple outfits for maternity photoshoot\n\" class=\"wp-image-14163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-photos-with-partner-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-photos-with-partner-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-photos-with-partner-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-photos-with-partner-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/what-to-wear-for-maternity-photoshoot-photos-with-partner.jpg 1211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-older-children-wear-for-family-maternity-photos\">What Should Older Children Wear for Family Maternity Photos? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Including your older children in some of your maternity photos creates precious family memories and helps them feel part of this new chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For children&#8217;s outfits, follow the same colour coordination principles. Keep them within your chosen palette of 2-3 colours. Avoid characters, logos, or busy patterns that will date the photos or draw attention away from your family connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comfortable clothing is even more important for children than adults. If they&#8217;re fidgeting with itchy fabrics or uncomfortable shoes, you&#8217;ll see it in every photo. Choose soft, natural fabrics they can move freely in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the setting and activity. If we&#8217;re shooting outdoors in a park, comfortable casual clothing makes sense. If we&#8217;re in the studio creating more formal portraits, slightly dressier options work well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coordinating doesn&#8217;t mean matching exactly. In fact, having everyone in identical colours can look overly staged. Variations within your colour scheme create a more natural, cohesive look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choosing-the-right-colours-for-your-maternity-photos\">Choosing the Right Colours for Your Maternity Photos <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Colour choices significantly impact the overall feel and timelessness of your maternity photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Soft, neutral tones<\/strong> remain the most popular choice for good reason. Cream, white, ivory, blush pink, soft grey, sage green, and muted blue create clean, elegant images that feel timeless. They won&#8217;t look dated in five, ten, or twenty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deeper, richer tones<\/strong> can be stunning when done thoughtfully. Burgundy, deep forest green, navy, and charcoal create beautiful, moody images, particularly for autumn and winter sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to avoid:<\/strong> Very bright, saturated colours can overwhelm the image and distract from you. Neon shades rarely photograph well. Highly contrasting patterns (like thick black and white stripes) create visual noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For studio sessions:<\/strong> Black and white are both excellent choices. They create maximum impact and keep absolute focus on your form and your bump. An all-white or all-black palette creates a sophisticated, artistic feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For outdoor sessions:<\/strong> Consider your surroundings. Soft, natural tones that complement rather than compete with the landscape work beautifully. Think dusty rose in a field of wildflowers, or cream against autumn foliage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re unsure about colour choices, send me some options before your session. I&#8217;m always happy to offer guidance based on the setting and style you&#8217;re envisioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/outdoor-pregnancy-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pregnant woman walking her dog on a park wearing boohoo dress cradling her belly in a relaxed and confident maternity portrait.\" class=\"wp-image-6204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/outdoor-pregnancy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/outdoor-pregnancy-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/outdoor-pregnancy-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/outdoor-pregnancy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/outdoor-pregnancy.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-best-fabrics-for-maternity-photography-and-which-to-avoid\">Best Fabrics for Maternity Photography (And Which to Avoid) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fabric of your outfit matters just as much as the style. Different materials photograph very differently and can make or break the final result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fabrics-that-photograph-beautifully\">Fabrics That Photograph Beautifully<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chiffon<\/strong> creates beautiful flow and movement. It catches light gorgeously and adds an ethereal quality to images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gauze and crepe<\/strong> offer lovely texture without being too heavy or stiff. They drape naturally over your bump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Soft cotton<\/strong> (not stiff cotton) can work well, particularly for more casual looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lace<\/strong> adds beautiful texture and dimension. It photographs with depth and interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Soft jersey knits<\/strong> work for form-fitting options as long as they&#8217;re not too thin or clingy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rayon and quality polyester<\/strong> often have beautiful flow for maxi dresses and gowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fabrics-to-avoid\">Fabrics to Avoid <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stiff cotton<\/strong> tends to wrinkle easily and doesn&#8217;t drape nicely. It can look boxy and unflattering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Super stretchy, clingy fabrics<\/strong> show every line and bump. If you&#8217;re wearing a bra, you&#8217;ll see every detail. These fabrics also tend to cling awkwardly to legs when walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Anything too thick or heavy<\/strong> won&#8217;t move naturally and can make you look larger than you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fabrics that wrinkle easily<\/strong> will create constant issues throughout the shoot. Even if they look perfect when you arrive, movement will create creases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When shopping online, read reviews carefully. Other customers often mention how fabric photographs or how well it flows, which is invaluable information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dressing-for-the-season-spring-summer-autumn-and-winter-maternity-shoots\">Dressing for the Season: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Maternity Shoots <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The season of your maternity shoot should influence your wardrobe choices, particularly for outdoor sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spring-maternity-photos\">Spring Maternity Photos <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spring offers beautiful soft light and blooming surroundings. Choose flowing dresses in pastels or soft neutrals. Light fabrics like chiffon and gauze work wonderfully. You can still comfortably wear sleeveless or short-sleeve options as the weather warms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summer-maternity-photos\">Summer Maternity Photos <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In warmer weather, breathable fabrics become essential. Choose natural fibres where possible. Lighter colours help you stay cooler. Avoid anything too heavy or clingy. If shooting outdoors, consider early morning or evening sessions when temperatures are more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-autumn-maternity-photos\">Autumn Maternity Photos <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Autumn is my favourite season for maternity photography. The light is gorgeous and the colours are rich. This is when deeper tones like burgundy, rust, and forest green really shine. Long sleeves become practical and beautiful. Flowing dresses still work wonderfully, and you can add a chunky cardigan for warmth between shots, and also keep it for some shots!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-winter-maternity-photos\">Winter Maternity Photos <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter maternity shoots have a special magic. Long sleeves are essential unless we&#8217;re shooting entirely indoors. Consider bringing a beautiful coat or cape for some images, then removing it for others. Chunky knit cardigans worn off the shoulders look cosy and romantic while keeping you warm.

I maintain a collection of gowns, dresses, fabrics, and accessories specifically chosen for how they photograph. Many clients choose to use pieces from my collection, either exclusively or in combination with their own outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This takes significant pressure off your preparation. We can discuss options when you book your maternity photoshoot, and you&#8217;re welcome to try different pieces during your session to see what feels best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be interested in : <a href=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/top-tips-what-to-wear-your-family-images\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Picture-Perfect Outfits: What to Wear for your Newborn Shoot<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-bring-and-what-not-to-wear-to-your-maternity-shoot\">What to Bring (And What NOT to Wear) to Your Maternity Shoot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparation makes a huge difference in how smoothly your session goes and how you look in your final images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-bring\">What to Bring <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond your chosen outfits, bring these essentials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Multiple underwear options<\/strong> in white, black, and skin colour, as we&#8217;ve discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A strapless bra<\/strong> if you&#8217;ll be showing shoulders and useful to tuck in fabric too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Any special accessories<\/strong> you want to include,  meaningful jewellery or anything that tells your story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comfortable shoes<\/strong> for walking to locations, even if you&#8217;ll be barefoot in photos. Or if we&#8217;re going for a formal look then heels could be a nice look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-not-to-wear-before-your-shoot\">What NOT to Wear Before Your Shoot <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is crucial and often overlooked. Anything too tight or elasticated will leave marks on your skin that can take hours to fade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Avoid wearing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tight bras (wear a soft, loose bralette or camisole instead)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Socks that leave marks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tight underwear with elastic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hair ties around your wrist<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tight sleeves or watches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anything with elastic waistbands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning semi-nude or more revealing photos, arrive in the loosest, softest clothing possible. Some clients even travel in loose dresses without underwear to ensure zero marks on their skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Preparation tip:<\/strong> Iron or steam everything beforehand. Bring outfits on hangers in garment bags if possible to keep them pristine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-finishing-touches\">Finishing Touches <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider a professional manicure before your session. Your hands will feature prominently in many images, particularly those showing your bump or with your partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple, neutral nail colours work best and won&#8217;t distract in photos. Very short nails are fine, but ensure they look neat and tidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For makeup, keep it natural and slightly more defined than your everyday look. Think polished, not dramatic, unless that&#8217;s specifically your style. If you prefer I can also arrange make up for you at the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/are-maternity-photos-worth-it-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Close up image of pregnant belly in a light and airy studio\" class=\"wp-image-6824\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/are-maternity-photos-worth-it-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/are-maternity-photos-worth-it-1-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/are-maternity-photos-worth-it-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/are-maternity-photos-worth-it-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/are-maternity-photos-worth-it-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-accessories-that-enhance-your-maternity-photos\">Accessories That Enhance Your Maternity Photos <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While I generally recommend keeping things simple, thoughtful accessories can add personality and meaning to your images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meaningful jewellery<\/strong> tells your story. Your grandmother&#8217;s necklace, your engagement ring, or a special piece from your partner can add emotional depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hats<\/strong> can work for outdoor sessions, particularly wide-brimmed options that add a bohemian or romantic feel. But they can be a nice add on for studio shoot too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flowers<\/strong> are always beautiful if you like a romantic style<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fabric or scarves<\/strong> can add colour, texture, or movement. Even a simple silk scarf can create beautiful images when caught in the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nothing at all<\/strong> is also perfectly fine. Sometimes the simplest approach creates the most powerful images. Your bump, your glow, your anticipation &#8211; these are the only accessories that truly matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-borrow-from-my-studio-wardrobe\">Borrow from My Studio Wardrobe <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most valuable resources available to you as my client is access to my complete studio wardrobe. I&#8217;ve spent years curating a collection of pieces specifically chosen for how they photograph and how they make women feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s available:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Flowing gowns <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dresses with slits in black and white<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beautiful fabrics including silk, chiffon, and gauze<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lace pieces and overlays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Casual options <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Props and accessories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of my clients choose to bring one outfit from home and use pieces from my studio wardrobe for variety. This gives you the best of both worlds: something personal to you, and professionally selected pieces that I know photograph beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re welcome to try multiple options during your session. Sometimes you won&#8217;t know what feels right until you&#8217;re actually in front of the camera. Having choices available takes the pressure off getting it perfect beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you <a href=\"https:\/\/photographybyvalentina.com\/london-maternity-photographer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">book your maternity session<\/a>, we&#8217;ll discuss what&#8217;s available in your size and what style you&#8217;re drawn to. I&#8217;m always adding new pieces, and I&#8217;m happy to show you photos of the collection beforehand if that helps with your planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions-about-what-to-wear-for-maternity-photos\">Frequently Asked Questions About What to Wear for Maternity Photos <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Should I wear my maternity jeans or regular jeans?<\/strong> Always wear your regular, pre-pregnancy jeans left unbuttoned rather than maternity jeans. The elastic panel on maternity jeans creates an unflattering line that&#8217;s difficult to hide in photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if I&#8217;m self-conscious about my arms?<\/strong> Choose dresses or tops with long sleeves. Many of the most elegant maternity photos feature covered arms. It&#8217;s a classic, timeless look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I wear black for my maternity photos?<\/strong> Absolutely. Black creates sophisticated, artistic images. Just be aware it can sometimes hide your bump&#8217;s definition, so we&#8217;ll need to use lighting carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Should I bring my own outfits or use your studio wardrobe?<\/strong> Either option works beautifully, or combine both. Many clients bring one meaningful outfit and supplement with pieces from my studio wardrobe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What colour underwear should I wear under a white dress?<\/strong> Nude underwear that matches your skin tone will be least visible under white or light-coloured dresses. White underwear can sometimes show through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How formal should we dress?<\/strong> That&#8217;s entirely up to you and the style you&#8217;re drawn to. Your photos should reflect your personality. Some clients want elegant gowns, others prefer jeans and simple tops. Both create beautiful, timeless images. However these are all thing we discuss before the maternity shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What if nothing fits properly anymore?<\/strong> That&#8217;s what makes maternity photography unique and why I maintain a studio wardrobe in various sizes. We&#8217;ll find something that fits beautifully and makes you feel wonderful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-planning-your-maternity-photoshoot-next-steps\">Planning Your Maternity Photoshoot: Next Steps <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you understand what to wear for your maternity photos, you&#8217;re one step closer to creating images you&#8217;ll treasure forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ideal time for maternity photos is typically between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy, when your bump is beautifully round but you&#8217;re still comfortable enough to move easily.
