18 Outfit Ideas For Your Maternity Photoshoot

Deciding what to wear for your studio maternity photoshoot doesn't have to feel overwhelming. I've created a simple guide to help you decide.

To make it easier, my studio offers a complimentary selection of beautiful crop tops, flowy gowns, tulle and sheer fabrics for draping, and beach robes, which you are welcome to use.

Crop Top

Wear a formfitting crop top to show a little skin and your bump. Choose a crop top with an interesting neckline or lace detail.

Flowy Gown

Flowy tulle gowns are a great choice for studio maternity photoshoots for moms-to-be. They are elaborate in detail and will accentuate your smooth baby bump.

Tulle Outfit

Lightweight tulle fabric draped over your baby bump elegantly shows off your curves; it is a great choice to showcase them without feeling too exposed.

Draped Fabric

Fabric draped around your neck or shoulders is an original outfit idea. Choose fabric with detail or sheen in a neutral colour for a more natural look.

Whether captured as a silhouette or with rim lighting, go nude and make an artistic statement of the extraordinary life within you.

Formfitting Dress

The great thing about a formfitting dress is it will hug your curves in all the right places and highlight your bump.

Body Paint & Tattoos

Painting your baby bump with body paint is a unique way of celebrating your beautiful preggy bump. Henna tattoos express luck and happiness and are often featured at ceremonial events like births, making them the perfect Indian maternity portrait.
