Being pregnant is a special time. However, those nine months can seem long when you are the one caring for and carrying a life. Each pregnancy is so different. Some women feel like the most beautiful version of themselves, while others look forward to delivery day. I’ll admit, I was the latter. Looking back now though, I regret not taking maternity photos. It was such a quick instance in my life and a momentous time is gone. I have a few cell phone photos of my baby bump, but I never scheduled a maternity session to really capture the beauty of carrying my children.

The #1 Reason Clients Don’t Schedule A Maternity Session

A maternity session is such a great way to show your child the excitement you had for their arrival. However, one of the things I hear continuously from clients is that dressing for maternity sessions is challenging, so they don’t book a session. Also, they say that it seems silly to spend money on clothes they might only wear once for a session. Plus, sizing during pregnancy can be hard to figure out, and ordering multiple items, and returning the extras can be time-consuming. Let’s discuss options for dressing your bump for your maternity session!

Casual or “undone” looks

For a relaxed feel, consider casual or undone outfits. This will help capture the everyday beauty of your pregnancy and offer an effortless look.

Unbuttoned jeans, a bralette, and a flowy unbuttoned shirt are my go-to solutions for the undone look. Other casual options are a flowy dress or skirt, or a cozy sweater and matching bottoms. Soft fabrics and loose outfits will help keep you comfortable while showcasing your bump!

Elevated casual outfits

If you’re aiming for a more polished yet casual look, elevated casual outfits are the way to go! Think stretchy jumpsuits and flowy wrap dresses. This option will help strike that perfect balance between comfort and sophistication which is ideal for expecting moms who want to look put-together without going overboard.

Formal dresses

Formal dresses are the way to go if you’re looking for a maternity session that emphasizes a touch of elegance and glamour. A long formal dress will help create a timeless, sophisticated feel for your maternity photos.
