✨ What to Wear for Your Maternity Session ✨
Wondering what to wear for your maternity photos? I’ve got you, mama 💛 Here are a few tips to help you feel confident, beautiful, and totally YOU in front of the camera:

👗 Flowy Dresses Are Magic
Maxi dresses with movement flatter every bump and look dreamy in photos — especially outdoors with a little breeze.

🎨 Stick to Neutrals + Soft Tones
Creams, taupe, dusty pinks, sage, and pastels always photograph beautifully and keep the focus on you and that sweet belly.

🧥 Layers + Texture Add Depth
Think cozy cardigans, lace details, knit shawls, or subtle accessories to elevate your look.

👨‍👩‍👧 Coordinate, Don’t Match
If partners or kids are joining, choose a color palette that complements rather than matches exactly.

🩵 Show Some Skin (If You Want To!)
Want to show off that beautiful belly? Let’s do it! I love capturing intimate, natural moments — bralette + jeans, open dress, or a soft robe can be stunning.

👣 Comfort is Queen
Pick something you can move in and feel amazing wearing. You’re creating magic — you deserve to be comfy and glowing ✨

There’s nothing more heartwarming than capturing those early moments in the comfort of home. 💙 This little guy and his two adorable doggies made this session unforgettable. Sweet snuggles, tiny toes, and a whole lot of love—this is what lifestyle newborn photography is all about. 🏡✨

Full-circle moments like this are what make my heart so full. 🥹✨ Capturing these precious newborn photos for my dear friend and her beautiful daughter feels extra special because she was once my kids’ nanny. Watching her step into motherhood is such a joy, and I’m so honored to help preserve these sweet memories for her family. 💕

One of the best parts of being a family photographer is capturing families as they grow over the years. Watching little ones grow up is such a joy! Plus, your session doesn’t have to be far from home to be beautiful—a cozy backyard setting can be just as amazing! 🫶
