MATERNITY SESSIONS

Photographing your pregnancy is about capturing a unique and fleeting moment in your life. Here are some reasons why people choose to do it:

 

  • 1. Celebrate the Journey – Pregnancy is a major milestone. Photos can help celebrate the transformation, the anticipation, and the love already growing before birth.

 

  • Create Lasting Memories – Those nine months goes by fast (even if it doesn’t always feel that way!). Maternity photos let you look back and remember what that time felt like.

 

  • Connect with Your Baby – A photoshoot can help make the experience feel more real and tangible, especially for first-time parents. It can also be something beautiful to share with your child later.

 

  • Empowerment and Beauty – Many people find maternity photography empowering—it highlights the strength and beauty of your body during pregnancy.

 

  • Include Loved Ones – You can bring in partners, older siblings, pets, or other important figures in your life to document the growing family.

 

Let us capture these precious moments and encapsulate your memories to share with you family, friends, and ultimately your child.

WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR MATERNITY SESSION

For a maternity photo shoot, your outfit should highlight your bump, make you feel beautiful, and match the vibe you’re going for. Here are some popular outfit ideas and tips:

  Flowy Dresses (Classic & Romantic)

   •   Long, maxi dresses with soft fabrics like chiffon or lace are super popular.


   •   Empire waistlines or wrap styles accentuate the bump beautifully.


   •   Light, neutral tones (ivory, blush, beige, pastel blue, sage green) photograph really well.


   •   Earthy tones (rust, terracotta, olive, mustard) are gorgeous for outdoor or boho shoots.

 

Fitted Dresses (Modern & Bold)

   •   Bodycon or jersey-knit dresses show off your bump’s shape clearly.


   •   Great for studio shoots or if you want something more sleek and modern.


   •   Solid colors work best — deep jewel tones like emerald, burgundy, or navy are striking.

 

Bare Bump Looks

   •   Crop tops with flowing skirts or just a draped fabric around the bottom.


   •   Lace robes or sheer gowns are stunning for this style, especially in studio or

intimate settings.


   •   Choose tasteful underwear or a bandeau bra that complements the outfit.

 

Partner & Family Coordination

   •   Coordinate, don’t match — pick a color palette and dress everyone in complementary tones.


   •   Avoid loud patterns or logos that distract from the mood and your belly.

 

Accessories & Styling

   •   Flower crowns, floppy hats, dainty jewelry, or soft curls — all add dreamy touches.


   •   Go barefoot for a natural look, especially in outdoor settings.

COLOR PALETTE RECOMMENDATIONS

Here’s a soft, elegant color palette perfect for a maternity photo session—designed to highlight warmth, beauty, and a sense of calm:

Maternity Photo Session Color Palette

 

Theme: Soft Natural Elegance

 

  • Blush Pink –                                        

 Gentle, romantic, and flattering for skin tones.

 

  • Creamy Ivory –                                   

A timeless neutral that adds light and softness.

 

  • Sage Green –                                      

Natural and grounding, adds a calm organic vibe.

 

  • Dusty Blue –                                        

Cool and serene, pairs beautifully with warm neutrals.

 

  • Warm Taupe –                                      

Earthy and cozy, gives a warm, intimate feeling.

 

These colors work beautifully for flowing dresses, soft knit wraps, or simple scenic backdrops (like fields, gardens, or cozy indoor settings).
