What to Wear for Your Maternity Session

Your wardrobe choices can transform your session. Here are my favourite styling tips for expecting mothers who want to feel comfortable and beautiful.

Your maternity session is all about celebrating you and your bump. What you wear should make you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful.

Fitted over loose

Clothes that skim your bump photograph beautifully. A fitted dress, a snug top, or even a bodysuit shows off your shape in the most flattering way. Loose, baggy clothing hides the very thing we're celebrating.

Neutral and soft tones

Creams, taupes, sage greens, dusty pinks, and warm whites photograph timelessly. Bold patterns and bright logos can distract from the emotion of the image.

Layers and textures

A flowing kimono, a sheer fabric draped over your shoulders, or a chunky knit cardigan adds depth and movement to your images.

Partner coordination

If your partner is joining, coordinate without matching. If you're wearing cream, they might wear charcoal or navy. Same colour palette, different pieces.

Still not sure? I send every client a detailed styling guide before their session, and I'm always happy to review outfit options.
