Recommend Outfits for Studio or Outdoors

Form Fit Dress

A solid color form-fit dress can make your bump look amazing. I recommend getting a maternity specific stretchy body con dress. Almost every clothing brand has some version of this.
Matching Bra and Underwear

A matching underwear set is another great option. Neutral colors look best. Also, branded or logo underwear is popular. I would also recommend a few different options in different colors.
Bodysuit

A body suit is also an easy and simple way to highlight your bump. Non maternity brands often look best. Get a size larger than you think you need, we can always clip it to make it fit better.
Belly Cut-Out Dress

This dress has gained popularity! It’s the perfect way to highlight your bump with elegance. Search for a belly cut out dress on Amazon, there are maternity and non-maternity options, both work!
Crop Top

Bring a crop top to match with one of your underwear colors, it’s an easy addition to a look you already have.
Flowy or Maxi Dress

Another simple and easy to find style. Look for a maternity specific dress that has is contoured around the chest with flowing fabric over the bump.
Jacket or Robe

Jean jackets, blazers, robes, and short kimonos can look beautiful with or without underwear.
Maternity Shoot Specific Dress

Lots of brands make maternity photography specific dresses. One of the most popular options is a lacy off the shoulder gown with a split front to show your bump. Search maternity photoshoot dress or gown.
Jeans and Bra

You already have this one! Bring a pair of jeans that you can wear unbuttoned with a lacy or neutral bra.
Fabric

One of the easiest outfits that’s guaranteed to fit. At any fabric store, look for a lace, mesh, or sheer fabric that speaks to you. I will help you style it to look your best!
Something Unique to You!

Don’t forget, it’s your shoot. Bring something your passionate about or that you feel makes you unique!

The easiest outfit of them all is no outfit. This is a classic and popular style. If you are comfortable, feel free to try implied nude photos. You will still be covered, but be able to show your body in it’s truest form.
