18 Outfit Ideas For Your Maternity Photoshoot
Deciding what to wear for your studio maternity photoshoot doesn't have to feel overwhelming. I've created a simple guide to help you decide.
To make it easier, my studio offers a complimentary selection of beautiful crop tops, flowy gowns, tulle and sheer fabrics for draping, and beach robes, which you are welcome to use.
Crop Top
Wear a formfitting crop top to show a little skin and your bump. Choose a crop top with an interesting neckline or lace detail.
Flowy Gown
Flowy tulle gowns are a great choice for studio maternity photoshoots for moms-to-be. They are elaborate in detail and will accentuate your smooth baby bump.
Tulle Outfit
Lightweight tulle fabric draped over your baby bump elegantly shows off your curves; it is a great choice to showcase them without feeling too exposed.
Draped Fabric
Fabric draped around your neck or shoulders is an original outfit idea. Choose fabric with detail or sheen in a neutral colour for a more natural look.
Lace or Sheer Robe
A lace or sheer robe adds a romantic touch to your maternity photos.
Beach Robe
A beach robe is an excellent way of showing off your beautiful baby bump. Look for one with detail to complement the softness of your belly.
Au Naturel
Whether captured as a silhouette or with rim lighting, go nude and make an artistic statement of the extraordinary life within you.
Formfitting Dress
The great thing about a formfitting dress is it will hug your curves in all the right places and highlight your bump.
Oversized Buttoned Shirt
The father's oversized buttoned shirt is a great way to include him in your maternity photoshoot. It's also a classic casual look.
Boyfriend Jeans
Boyfriend jeans are great for a casual, modern look in pregnancy photos. They also help you feel covered while showing off your growing bump.
Favourite Maternity Dress
For many moms-to-be, wearing your favourite maternity dress is perfect for a photo shoot. It will make you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the session.
Lingerie & Bikini
Matching lingerie or bikini costumes is a sexy way to show off your baby bump and create stunning maternity photos.
Colourful Dress
Make a bold statement with a colourful dress that accentuates your baby bump. A plain colour or detailed pattern works equally well.
Statement Necklace & Accessories
A statement necklace and accessories will make your beautiful bump stand out and set your maternity photos apart from others.
Sentimental Accessory
Accessorise your pregnancy photos with a sentimental accessory, such as a wedding veil or flower; the contrast will give your photo a deeper meaning.
Leather Jacket Hat & Scarf
Don't be afraid to wear your favourite leather jacket, hat, or scarf. It is all about creating visual interest and expressing individuality.
Your wedding dress or traditional outfit will add meaning and significance to your maternity photoshoot.
Body Paint & Tattoos
Painting your baby bump with body paint is a unique way of celebrating your beautiful preggy bump. Henna tattoos express luck and happiness and are often featured at ceremonial events like births, making them the perfect Indian maternity portrait.
