What to Wear for Maternity Photos (Without Buying a Thing)

Let’s be honest—deciding what to wear for maternity photos can feel overwhelming. You’re growing a baby, your body feels different, and the idea of dressing up for photos might be the last thing on your list. I get it. That’s exactly why I’ve made wardrobe styling part of your experience when you book a maternity session with me.

You don’t need to buy anything. You don’t need to fit into anything. You don’t even need to know your “style.” You just need to show up. I’ve got the rest.

The Client Wardrobe: Soft, Flowy, and Flattering

When you arrive at my natural-light studio, I’ll have a full wardrobe ready for you.

These aren’t just pretty dresses—they’re hand-selected pieces that photograph beautifully and feel good on your changing body.

I keep the color palette soft and natural: creams, whites, warm taupes, dusty mauves, earthy greens and soft colors. These tones flatter every skin tone and bring the focus where it belongs—on the connection between you and your baby.

Most of the gowns are:

  • Stretchy or adjustable to fit a range of sizes

  • Flowy with movement to bring softness and light into your images

  • Designed for comfort—no stiff fabrics or tight seams

You’re welcome to try on as many as you’d like before your session. If you’ve booked a newborn session as well, we can use this time to test out what you might want to wear postpartum too.

Styling the Whole Family (Without Stress)

If your partner or older children are joining the session, don’t worry—I’ve got styling suggestions for them too. I keep pieces on hand for little ones and can help coordinate everyone’s look so it feels cohesive, not matchy.

The goal isn’t to look like a magazine spread. The goal is to feel like you—at ease, connected, and confident.

Real Talk: You Don’t Need to Change Anything About Yourself

You don’t need to lose weight, fix your hair, or wait until you feel “ready.” You’re already doing something incredible—growing a whole human. These photos are about honoring that.

So many times, moms tell me after the session, “I almost didn’t do this. I’m so glad I did.”

So here’s your permission to take the easy route.
Use the wardrobe. Let me help.
You deserve to be remembered in this season—not when you feel perfect, but exactly as you are.

There’s a stillness that settles into the room during maternity sessions, a kind of peace that feels both powerful and tender.�
It’s that sacred pause before everything changes.

You can almost feel time holding its breath.�

The soft rustle of fabric, the gentle curve of anticipation, the way your hands rest instinctively on your belly,
all reminders that something holy is unfolding.

These aren’t just portraits.�
They’re a love letter to the woman you are right now, before your arms are full and your heart expands even more.

There’s this hush that fills the studio once baby’s finally swaddled and sleeping.

The world outside keeps spinning — but inside, everything slows.
