Tips for Choosing the Right Wardrobe for Your Maternity Photoshoot

When it comes to preparing for a maternity photoshoot, one of the most exciting decisions you'll make is choosing your wardrobe. As a Wausau, Wisconsin maternity photographer, I've had the pleasure of guiding countless expectant mothers through this process. Selecting the right outfits is not only about looking beautiful but also feeling comfortable and confident in your changing body. Here's a few wardrobe tips to help you make the perfect choices for your maternity photoshoot.

Styling:

First and foremost, think about the vibe and style you want for your maternity photos. Do you want dreamy and romantic? Casual and natural? Intimate and stripped down? Then consider styles that make you feel your best. Flowy maxi dresses and empire-waist gowns are timeless choices that accentuate your baby bump while keeping you comfortable. Stretchy, body-hugging dresses can beautifully showcase your curves. Some of my client opt for a intimate look with jeans and bra, or a kimono robe. Many of my clients like to take advantage of my complimentary second outfit in their session to do two looks at their maternity session.

Multiple Outfit Changes:

If you're unsure about just one outfit, consider bringing multiple options to your photoshoot. This way, you can switch looks between scenes, adding variety and depth to your photo collection. Whether it's a casual, cozy sweater, an intimate stripped down look, or a flowing gown, having options lets you curate a diverse range of photographs.

Your maternity photoshoot is a celebration of this beautiful and transformative time in your life. The right wardrobe choices will not only make you feel like a glowing mom-to-be but also help tell your unique story. So, embrace the opportunity to showcase your personal style, and let's capture the beauty of your pregnancy in every frame.

Playing with Colors:

The colors you choose can set the tone for your maternity photos. Soft pastels like blush pink, mint green, or baby blue can give your photos a dreamy, ethereal feel. Earthy tones like olive green, mustard yellow, or deep burgundy can create a warm, grounded atmosphere. Neutral shades like cream, gray, or beige are timeless and versatile, allowing you to focus on your unique connection. Also think about how the colors play with your location. I walk my clients through all of this and make it easy and fun!
