what to wear… the bump!

In the past I have talked about what to wear during sessions… so far I have covered engagement sessions and family sessions. Today I am back to cover one of my favorite kids of sessions to capture, maternity!

Maternity is very similar to both family and engagements. We are usually outdoors, working with natural light and a variety of backdrops. The session is less about what you are wearing, and more about interactions between the people. 🙂 That said a well put together outfit can really add to a session. 

As always families or couples should coordinate but not be too “matchy matchy”.  I love color and patterns, just be mindful of your surroundings. If we are shooting at a super green park, don’t wear neon green, that is far too close to cammo.

Wear colors and outfits that pop, but do not get too distracting.

Also enhance the belly! Tight tops to show off the bump are great! Please no huge sweaters that hide the bump!

Also if you would like a more intimate session showing more skin you are comfortable showing in public, we can arrange time in the studio, or shoot at home. A woman’s body while pregnant is a beautiful thing, I would be happy to capture it for you!

And of course I am constantly pinning ideas on my pinterest board here!

I hope that helps, of course as always let me know if you have any questions at all!
