Maternity Photo Tips: When, What to Wear, and Ideas
Everything you need for beautiful pregnancy photos.
Maternity photos capture a fleeting moment. Here's how to make them great.
Best Timing
28-34 weeks. Bump is visible, you're not too uncomfortable, and baby is less likely to arrive early.
What to Wear
- Form-fitting or flowy dresses that show bump
- Solid colors photograph better than patterns
- Coordinate (don't match exactly) with partner
- Bring multiple outfit options
Location Ideas
- Golden hour outdoors (1-2 hours before sunset)
- Nursery (meaningful and intimate)
- Beach, field, or botanical garden
- Urban/architectural backgrounds
Pro Tips
Get mani/pedi before, moisturize skin, bring snacks, use a professional or talented friend, embrace the belly.
