If you stop reading after this tip, at least you will see this one! You want to wear a dress that will give you the <strong>most flattering silhouette<\/strong> for your maternity photos. So here is what to look for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A dress\/top that is tight up top, meaning that it is tight to just above the belly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dress or skirt that flares out starting just above the belly. You don&#8217;t want it to be tight underneath the belly. I know there are a lot of dresses like that, and maybe this is a personal preference, but I love a flowy skirt that allows lots of movement. I think it looks more flattering and it also gives you something to play with\/swish around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Length should be to the floor. Not too much longer than that because you don&#8217;t want to trip on it (unless you plan an epic, long dress for just a small portion of the session). And it&#8217;s okay if it&#8217;s midi-length if you want to show off your shoes. But typically a floor length dress looks more romantic and flowy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And when I say these recommendations, <strong>I&#8217;m talking about your main dress<\/strong>. You can definitely bring <strong>another outfit<\/strong> that is completely different, but for the main part of the session, this is what I love best. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_4888_SM2.jpg\" alt=\"maternity photo of mama wearing a lace pink dress\" class=\"wp-image-5189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_4888_SM2.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_4888_SM2-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_4888_SM2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_4888_SM2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_4888_SM2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_4888_SM2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_4888_SM2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-color-should-you-wear\">What Color Should You Wear?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason you&#8217;re booking this maternity photo session is to show off that beautiful bump, so make sure to wear colors that will show it off. Meaning do NOT wear black or navy or any other super dark color. It hides the bump and makes it hard to see, and that&#8217;s not what you&#8217;re going for. But at the same time, you don&#8217;t want to wear bright neon colors, either. Light to medium colors will look best.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_6757_SM.jpg\" alt=\"couple standing and looking at each other, holding hands - what to wear for maternity photos\" class=\"wp-image-4846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_6757_SM.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_6757_SM-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_6757_SM-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_6757_SM-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_6757_SM-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_6757_SM-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_6757_SM-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-fabric-should-you-wear-for-maternity-photos\">What fabric should you wear for maternity photos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is something that I think gets overlooked when moms are planning for their maternity photos. Fabric makes a huge difference!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Fabrics to avoid for maternity photos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let&#8217;s talk about <strong>fabrics to avoid<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t wear <strong>stiff cotton <\/strong>because it doesn&#8217;t flow nicely and it can be super wrinkly. It&#8217;s just not my favorite. The second fabric I would <strong>avoid<\/strong> is that <strong>super stretchy fabric<\/strong>. You may think it will be good, and there are tons of maternity dresses made from this, but it&#8217;s a mistake. It shows every little bump, so if you have a bra on, you can see all the bumps on your back and side. It also can cling awkwardly to your legs while you walk. Here is an<a href=\"https:\/\/a.co\/d\/2ifoILS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> example<\/a> of a dress using this fabric and you should definitely <strong>not <\/strong>get it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Best fabrics for maternity photos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now onto fabrics that I <strong>would<\/strong> recommend! I love texture so <b>gauze or crepe<\/b> fabrics are amazing like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jenspiratebooty.com\/collections\/dresses\/products\/lapis-maxi-dress?variant=29154811248712\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this one from Jen&#8217;s Pirate Booty<\/a>. I also love the <strong>texture<\/strong> in this soft cotton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freepeople.com\/shop\/dahlia-embroidered-maxi-dress\/?color=016&amp;recommendation=checkout-shoppingCart-sfrectray-rectraysimilarviewed&amp;type=REGULAR&amp;quantity=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free People<\/a> dress and the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/balticborn.com\/products\/swiss-dot-mustard-maxi-dress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">swiss dot<\/a> <\/strong>fabric looks awesome. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/balticborn.com\/products\/kia-kimono-maxi-dress-dusty-pink?variant=40420814028965\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Polyester<\/a> <\/strong>has a great flow. <strong>Rayon<\/strong> also photographs really well like this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freepeople.com\/shop\/extratropical-maxi-dress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Free People dress<\/a>. Basically, anything that has a nice flow when you swish it! I also love <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/balticborn.com\/products\/venice-lace-maxi-dress-blush\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lace<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/textures-to-wear-maternity-photos-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pregnant woman in red lace textured dress during maternity photos\" class=\"wp-image-11315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/textures-to-wear-maternity-photos-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/textures-to-wear-maternity-photos-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/textures-to-wear-maternity-photos-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/textures-to-wear-maternity-photos.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-patterns-are-best-for-maternity-portraits\">What patterns are best for maternity portraits?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t go wrong with solid colors, and dresses with some texture (like maybe some lace or crepe fabrics). But patterns can be great for maternity photos, too! You just want to select the right one. If you select a pattern that is too tiny, it can be too busy and really distracting, especially if there are two contrasting colors (like black against white). But you also don&#8217;t want to select patterns that are too big, which isn&#8217;t all that flattering. Medium-sized patterns are what you&#8217;re going to shoot for here.&nbsp;You also want to make sure that the contrast between the colors in the pattern and the color of the dress isn&#8217;t too much. For example, a dark navy pattern on a white dress would be too much contrast. But a cream-colored pattern against a dusty rose-colored dress would be subtle and beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/columbia-river-gorge-photographer-002-11-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Mom in a free people maxi dress\" class=\"wp-image-8580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/columbia-river-gorge-photographer-002-11-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/columbia-river-gorge-photographer-002-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/columbia-river-gorge-photographer-002-11-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/columbia-river-gorge-photographer-002-11.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dress-for-the-season\">Dress for the Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to think about the weather when deciding what to wear for your maternity photos. If it&#8217;s going to be hot out, pick a more breathable fabric. If it&#8217;s going to be cold, look for a long-sleeved dress, or bring a chunky knit cardigan to go over the top. Chunky knits are great because you can wear them off your shoulders and it looks amazing, and then between shots, you can cuddle up and get warm.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" src=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_2644_Edit.jpg\" alt=\"maternity photography in lace dress\" class=\"wp-image-3963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_2644_Edit.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_2644_Edit-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_2644_Edit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_2644_Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_2644_Edit-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_2644_Edit-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-your-partner-or-kids-wear-for-your-maternity-photos\">What should your partner or kids wear for your maternity photos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When deciding what your partner will wear, you want to coordinate but not match. If your colors are the same, you will blend into each other and it will be hard to see the separation. The same goes for anyone in your family, we don&#8217;t want anyone blending into each other. Put your partner and\/or kids in complementary colors. You can search Pinterest for complementary colors or get ideas.

Or just get some seamless underwear so the seams aren&#8217;t creating bumps in your dress. For your bra, be sure that the straps will not show, or rather than wearing a bra, you can also get some <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3I5g8dB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pasties<\/a> instead. That way you don&#8217;t have to worry about bra straps at all. Just make sure that what you wear makes sense for the dress you choose. And don&#8217;t forget about the color of your undergarments. Wear colors that won&#8217;t show through your dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/what-to-wear-maternity-pictures-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"pregnant mom laying in the grass with a lace yellow dress\" class=\"wp-image-11310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/what-to-wear-maternity-pictures-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/what-to-wear-maternity-pictures-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/what-to-wear-maternity-pictures-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beccajeanphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/what-to-wear-maternity-pictures.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bring-an-extra-maternity-outfit\">Bring an Extra Maternity Outfit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bringing another outfit to your maternity session is a great idea and gives you some variety. I can bring my changing tent so changing on location is quick and easy. Sometimes the extra outfit is just a lacy cardigan over underwear so we can really emphasize your beautiful belly. Or maybe you want some casual photos in your overalls or a crop top with jeans. Possibly you just want two different dresses.

So <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UGqDwK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here are my favorite Amazon dresses for maternity sessions<\/a> (I own these so I know they&#8217;re good). Most come in more colors than just what is shown in the main image, as well. Tip: read the reviews on what sizes to get. When buying non-maternity dresses typically you need to order one size larger than you would wear normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great place to get maternity dresses is at small boutique online shops. Sometimes a dress that isn&#8217;t meant for maternity can be amazing, and bonus: you can probably wear it again after you have the baby! You want to look for stretchy fabric, dresses with elastic at the waist, and a higher waistline. You also want to pay attention to if it is lined or not, because some dresses are lined, but only partway down, and it&#8217;s too short to fit a bump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, I love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joyfolie.com\/?rfsn=5273512.1edd8c6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joyfolie<\/a> dresses.
