IRVINE MATERNITY SESSION

WHAT TO WEAR TO YOUR MATERNITY SHOOT:

1. The Maxi Dress.

Long or mid knee length maxi dresses photograph so very well! A maxi dress highlights that beautiful baby bump and is flattering for all women.
Patterns, solids, lace.etc. Try on a couple of different options to find what matches Your personality and body the best.

2. Avoid the jeans and black/white shirt look.

We don’t want You all looking like You’re dressed up in uniforms. We want to show off Your funky and unique personality, not be all matchy-matchy.

3. Choose a timeless look.

You’ve invested quite a bit of time and money for your maternity photos that will become treasured family heirlooms (imagine your son/daughter looking at your maternity photos when they are adults – the worth of these images is invaluable.) You want to choose clothes that have a somewhat classic and timeless look.

4. Choose clothing with texture.

It’s great to choose articles of clothing with different textures to add interest to the photo.  Be creative, fun and brave.

5. Accessories are awesome….and so are layers.

Start with your base layer of clothing – like a dress or flowy top with a long romantic skirt. Add a textured jacket or off the shoulder sweater, add a wide hat or chunky necklace and bracelets.Don’t forget to pay attention to Your feet. A cool pair of booties or cute flats can totally make the outfit, it may even be appropriate to go barefoot depending on the location You’re having Your pictures taken at.
