What should I wear for a Maternity Photoshoot?

A maternity photoshoot is a wonderful way to celebrate and capture the beauty of pregnancy. As a professional photographer, I have seen many expecting mothers struggle with choosing the right outfits for their maternity photoshoot. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect outfits for your upcoming maternity photoshoot.

Coordinate your outfits with the background

As photographers, we often ask you about your preference for background colors. This is because we want you to be able to coordinate your outfits with these backgrounds. For example, if you choose a neutral background, consider wearing a pop of color in your outfit. If you choose a colorful background, opt for more muted tones in your clothing.

Consider the color scheme of your home

If you plan to display your maternity photos in your home, consider the color scheme of your home. Choose colors that will complement the decor in your home and make your photos look cohesive when displayed.

Stick to solid colors

Solid colors are best for maternity photoshoots. Avoid busy patterns or graphics as they can be distracting in photos.

Choose clothes that are comfortable and flattering

Choose clothing that is comfortable and that flatters your growing belly. Flowy dresses, maxi dresses, and fitted tops are all great options.

Accessorize

Accessories can add a fun and personalized touch to your maternity photoshoot. Consider adding a statement necklace, a scarf, or a hat to complete your look.

Get advice from our stylist and graphic designer

If you're unsure about which colors or outfits to choose, don't hesitate to ask for advice from a graphic designer like Jodie, one of our team members. She can advise you on what colors work well together and how to make your photos look cohesive.

Be yourself

Above all, be yourself and choose outfits that reflect your personal style. Your maternity photos should capture the beauty and essence of who you are.

In conclusion, choosing the right outfits for your maternity photoshoot is important to ensure that you look and feel your best. By following these tips, you can select the perfect outfits and create beautiful memories that you will cherish for years to come.
