Only wear something you feel GREAT in to your maternity session.
After scheduling your maternity session, the single most important thing to do
is to work on your outfit(s). I have photographed countless moms on the east coast who have trouble selecting an outfit to wear! Choosing the right outfit can make a big difference in how comfortable and confident you feel in front of the camera, as well as how your photos turn out. Here are the best tips to help make it easy.
Your outfit is going to be the first one selected for your portrait session. Shop from your closet, a boutique or even your favorite shop. Truthfully, it doesn't matter where it comes from as long as it makes you feel GREAT! From dresses to jeans and everything in between, it's perfect if it makes you feel great.
Prioritize Fit and Comfort
Your comfort is key during a maternity shoot. Look for outfits made from stretchy fabrics that accommodate your growing bump and don't feel restrictive. Avoid anything too tight or that limits your movement. You don't want to be adjusting what you are wearing when you move. Maxi dresses, sweater dresses, gowns, jeans and bra or maternity-specific clothing are great options (although can be hard to shop in store throughout Delaware.)
Highlight that Bump
The goal of a maternity session is to celebrate your pregnancy, so choose outfits that accentuate your belly. Empire-waist dresses, body-hugging gowns, and wrap dresses are flattering choices that draw attention to your bump. Or wear just your bathing suit, a robe, your open jeans, bra or less. You are welcome to bring a second outfit to change into. I have a portable changing tent that I can bring so you can change on location with total privacy.
This last one is a suggestion with a disclosure! If you feel great in it WEAR it!
some suggest to Stick to Neutral or Soft Colors
Neutral tones and soft pastels do photograph beautifully and create a timeless look.

If you want a pop of color, this is YOUR session! Wear what is best for you!
I am always happy to answer questions you have about outfits, help you accessorize or add to what you have so far. The only wrong thing to wear is something you don't feel great in!
