1. Flowy Dresses Are Your Best Friend
Long, flowy dresses add movement, elegance, and softness to your photos. They accentuate the bump while keeping things romantic and timeless. Plus, they catch the South Florida breeze beautifully!
Maxi or midi-lengths are ideal
Go for breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or chiffon
Choose something that makes you feel like yourself
2. Neutrals, Earth Tones & Soft Colors Photograph Best
-
Bold prints can sometimes distract from your bump and your face. Instead, opt for timeless tones that work beautifully with our natural backdrops like beaches, parks, and trails.
Warm neutrals: cream, beige, taupe, camel
Earthy tones: terracotta, olive, rust, sage
Muted pastels: dusty blue, blush, mauve
3. Show Off the Bump (But Keep It Comfortable)
Felis rhoncus turpis vitae nulla felis quis
Fitted dresses work great too, especially if you're going for something sleek and modern. The goal is to highlight your belly in a way that feels empowering and effortless.
Wrap dresses, body-con styles, or sets with a crop top + skirt
Avoid stiff or structured fabrics that can feel restrictive
4. Don’t Forget About Your Partner or Kids
-
If your partner or children are joining you for the session, coordinate their outfits with yours without being too matchy. Think complementary tones instead of identical colors.
For partners: neutral henleys, button-downs, or linen shirts with jeans or slacks
For kids: simple outfits in matching or tonal shades
5. Add Texture, Layers, or Accessories
-
Details can elevate a simple outfit. Think lace, knits, wide-brimmed hats, scarves, or even a sheer robe layered over a slip dress.
Avoid flashy jewelry or logos
Bring options: I always encourage my clients to bring 1-2 outfit choices so we can switch it up depending on location and light
Bonus Tip: Avoid These Common Mistakes
Bright neon or overly saturated colors
Loud prints, especially stripes or tiny florals
Clothing that wrinkles easily or doesn’t let you move freely
