We suggest bringing three or more fabulous outfits for your photoshoot. This way, we can capture the many facets of your pregnancy journey and celebrate your radiant beauty in multiple ways. 

Let’s make it a fashion fiesta! Here are 5 ideas for what to wear for your maternity photoshoot:

1. Show Off Your Curves with a Bodycon Dress

When it comes to showing off your baby bump, a bodycon dress is an absolute winner. 

Slip into a form-fitting dress that accentuates your curves and highlights your growing belly. Opt for a stretchy fabric that hugs your body comfortably, allowing you to move and groove easily. 

A bodycon dress is perfect for showcasing your pregnancy glow and feeling like a total knockout!

2. Bold Colors: Make a Statement 

Ditch the neutrals and let your vibrant personality shine with bold, eye-catching colors. 

Whether it’s a stunning cobalt blue, fiery orange, or vibrant fuchsia, wearing bold colors will make you stand out in your maternity photos. 

These hues exude confidence and add a fun pop to your images. Don’t be afraid to go for the unexpected and rock that bold shade that reflects your unique spirit and energy.

3. Embrace Sheer Fabrics for an Alluring Look

If you’re feeling adventurous, sheer fabrics can create a sensual and ethereal vibe for your maternity photos. 

This is probably the #1 maternity outfit idea amongst our clients!

Opt for a sheer lace maternity gown or a flowy maxi dress with sheer sleeves. These outfits allow a hint of skin to peek through, adding a touch of allure to your photos. 

These fabrics create a sense of movement and lightness and work really well for golden hour shoots! 

As for colors— it’s up to you! Many women wear sheer white fabrics, but we’ve also seen black, pink, red, and green sheer gowns that look just as mesmerizing.

4. Lingerie: Embrace Your Sensuality

Who says you can’t be seductive during your maternity photoshoot? 

Embrace your sensuality and celebrate the beauty of your pregnancy with tasteful and elegant lingerie. 

Our advice? Choose delicate lace teddies, silk robes, or matching bras and panty sets that make you feel stunning and empowered. 

Stick to soft colors like ivory, blush, or blue to create a dreamy vibe. 

Let your outfit be a true reflection of your vivaciousness!

5. Lace: Timeless Elegance 

Lingerie might be a little risque for your tastes, but lace is an obvious alternative to get an elegant yet sexy look. 

Most Moms we work with go with a full-coverage maternity gown with delicate lace details woven into the fabric.

This creates a soft, feminine look that enhances your natural beauty (especially for beach maternity shoots). 

When women ask what to wear for a maternity shoot, we recommend a full-length gown. Our clients have almost unanimously told us it feels the most comfortable. 

However, feel free to wear a knee-length dress or even a lacey pantsuit if that’s more your style!

Conclusion

Now that you have these five sexy maternity photoshoot outfit ideas, it’s time to unleash your inner goddess and create stunning memories of your pregnancy journey! 

Whether you rock a bodycon dress, opt for bold colors, embrace lingerie, indulge in lace, or float in sheer fabrics, remember that the key is to feel confident, radiant, and true to yourself.

FAQs: What To Wear for Maternity Photos

What should I consider when choosing an outfit for maternity photos? 

Your personal style, comfort, and the overall theme or location of the photoshoot. 

Should I go for form-fitting or loose-fitting clothing? 

Both options can work well depending on your preferences and the look you want to achieve. 

Form-fitting clothing can accentuate your baby bump and showcase your changing body shape. Loose-fitting clothing, such as flowing dresses or tops, can provide a more relaxed, feminine look.

Are there specific colors or patterns that work best for maternity photos? 

Solid colors generally work well for maternity photos as they draw attention to your baby bump. Soft, pastel shades like blush, mint green, or lavender can create a gentle and feminine look.

 Earth tones like beige, brown, or olive can give a warm and natural feel. 

When it comes to patterns, simpler designs or subtle prints tend to be more flattering and timeless.

Should I bring multiple outfit options to the photoshoot?

 Yes! Consider bringing a mix of casual and dressier options to provide variety. 

It’s also helpful to coordinate with your photographer to discuss the best choices based on the location and theme of the shoot.

What about undergarments for maternity photos? 

Choose comfortable and supportive undergarments that complement your outfit. Seamless or nude-colored underwear and bras can help create a smooth silhouette and prevent lines from showing through your clothes. 

Can I involve my partner or other family members in the maternity photos? 

Including your partner or other family members in the pictures can be a wonderful way to capture the joy and anticipation of your pregnancy. 

Coordinate outfits to ensure a cohesive look, but avoid being too matchy-matchy. Choose complementary colors or a similar style to create a harmonious visual effect.
