Maternity Photoshoot Outfits For When Dresses Aren’t Your Vibe
Are you feeling a bit stuck for ideas for your upcoming maternity photoshoot? Do you want to express your personal style while still capturing the beauty of your growing bump? Well, fear not! I’ve got some great options for you, even if dresses aren’t really your thing.
Suited and Booted
First up, let’s talk suits. Who says you have to wear a dress to feel elegant and graceful? A well-tailored suit can be just as stunning. Depending on where your shoot location is will depend what colour suit to opt for. If you’re out in the forest or field, then you might want to go bold with lilac or hot pink two piece. If you’re having an at home photoshoot then maybe more neutral colours like white or black could work better. Pair it with a nice bra or crop top to really show off your growing bump. You’ll look like a boss lady who’s ready to take on motherhood in all it’s glory!
Dungarees For the Win
If you’re feeling more casual, dungarees are always a great option. They’re super comfortable and can be so on trend with the right styling. Pick a pair of dungarees that fit you comfortably, and layer it with a soft and cozy sweater, t-shirt or vest. You can even let the straps hang down and get the bump out on display.
Jeans And A Nice Top
Jeans and a nice top… what a classic! A tank top or crop top is perfect for a maternity photoshoot. Low rise jeans are perfect for this look. You don’t have to worry about them doing up as you can just leave them loose to accommodate Bump. H&M have some great low rise options that are comfortable and stylish.
Loungewear That Works
If you’re looking for cosy in home maternity photography then consider wearing your favorite loungewear for the photoshoot. You’ll feel comfortable and cozy, which will let your natural glow shine through perfectly. Think about a soft sweater or knit bralette and some sweatpants that flatters your figure. You’ll feel like a million bucks and look amazing in your photos.
Strip It Back
Finally, when in doubt, go for some cozy underwear. Let your natural curves do the talking and wear your favorite comfy bra and underwear set. You will feel confident and proud of your growing body, which is the perfect message to convey in your photos. The everyday undies are what I recommend for my clients photos. Lacy and patterns will detract from the main subject which is you and your bump. H&M also do great comfortable lingerie sets at a low cost.
In conclusion, you don’t have to wear a dress to have stunning maternity shoot photos. It’s important to feel comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing, and any of these options are sure to achieve just that. Get playful with your styling, embrace your individuality and have fun creating beautiful memories that will last long after your precious bundle of joy has arrived!
