What to Wear to Your Maternity Session: Tips for Moms and Dads

Not sure what to wear for your maternity shoot? I’m here to help! Whether you lean toward casual or formal, these tips will guide both moms and dads to look their best for timeless, effortless photos.

Here are a few ideas:

For Moms:

1. Flowy Dresses: Maxi or midi dresses with an empire waist will beautifully showcase your bump. Opt for warm tones like burnt orange, burgundy, or forest green.

2. Layering: Add texture and warmth with a cozy cardigan or wrap. Neutral colors like cream, beige, or brown pair well with fall backdrops.

3. Knitted Sweaters: Fitted knit sweaters are comfortable and accentuate your bump.

4. Long-Sleeved Gowns: For a formal look, consider velvet or lace gowns.

5. Boots: Knee-high or ankle boots add a seasonal touch.

6. Accessories: Hats or scarves bring extra fall flair.

For Dads:

1. Neutral Tones: Beige, gray, navy, and soft blues or greens keep the look calm and natural.

2. Well-Fitting Clothing: A tailored shirt or sweater with chinos or dark jeans looks polished.

3. Coordinate, Don’t Match: Complement the mom’s outfit without being too matchy.

4. Simple Footwear: Clean loafers, sneakers, or dress shoes work best.

I hope this helps and you now feel prepared to look good and enjoy your maternity photos for years to come!
