Your maternity session is such a special time, it is about celebrating your growing family and creating memories you will cherish for years to come. One of the questions I hear most often is, “What should I wear?” My answer is always simple, you do not need to worry about that. I will guide you every step of the way, and with access to my client closet and all the fabrics I provide, you can relax knowing you will look and feel beautiful.
Here are five tips to help you feel confident and prepared for your maternity photos.
1. Choose colors that complement your skin
The right color can make all the difference in how you feel in front of the camera. Soft shades, warm tones, or rich jewel colors all look amazing when chosen to complement your skin tone. During your session planning, I will help guide you toward colors that highlight your natural beauty, so the focus stays on you and your glow.
2. Show off your beautiful bump
This is your moment to celebrate motherhood, so let your bump take center stage. Fitted dresses and draped fabrics that hug your shape photograph beautifully, while flowing gowns that cinch just above the belly bring out your curves in a flattering way. My client closet includes gowns designed specifically for maternity, so you will have plenty of options that are both flattering and comfortable.
3. Add movement with fabric
One of the most magical parts of maternity photography is the way fabric can move. Flowy chiffon, soft silk, or even layers of tulle create motion that feels dreamy and elegant. Since I provide all the fabrics for your session, you will not have to worry about shopping or bringing anything with you. I love styling fabrics in ways that make your images look like art.
4. Keep accessories simple
Your glow is the star of the session, so accessories should be kept simple. A dainty necklace, small earrings, or even a floral crown can add a special touch, but there is no need to overdo it. I will help guide you on what works best so your look stays timeless and elegant.
5. Coordinate with family, not match
If your partner or children are joining your session, coordinating colors is always better than matching. For example, if you are wearing a soft blush gown, your family might look wonderful in neutral tans, light grays, or soft blues that balance with your outfit. This creates a natural, polished look that photographs beautifully.
Bonus tip: take advantage of the client closet
One of the best parts of working with 224 Photography is that you do not have to stress about what to wear. My client closet is filled with hand-picked gowns, and I provide all the fabrics you will need for your session. This means you can simply show up, feel pampered, and know that everything has been taken care of.
Final thoughts
My goal is for you to feel confident, beautiful, and completely at ease during your maternity session. These photos are about celebrating your journey, your growing family, and the love that will last today, tomorrow, and forever.
