When it comes to shopping for a maternity photoshoot or baby shower outfit, it’s a moment we’ll want to cherish forever. As we prepare to capture this special time, it’s natural to feel self-conscious about our appearance during pregnancy. However, with the right clothing, we can boost our confidence and create lasting memories.
To help you feel more at ease when dressing for your photoshoot or celebration, I’ve curated a selection of stylish maternity outfits that are sure to inspire your wardrobe choices.
Simple and Flowy
When it comes to maternity gowns, there’s one quintessential style that stands out for its versatility and timeless appeal: lightweight, flowy dresses. This look is particularly well-suited for maternity photoshoots because it exudes comfort, flatters the figure, showcases the baby bump with ease, and translates exceptionally well on camera.
Whether you opt for a shorter or longer design, pair it with heels or go barefoot, add some playful accessories or keep the overall look simple, you can’t help but feel confident and beautiful. In fact, the very versatility of this style ensures that your photo will be nothing short of stunning.
Baby Blues
I’m absolutely thrilled about incorporating this tiered blue dress into a spring maternity session! The high neckline creates a stunning silhouette that works beautifully for more relaxed photo opportunities. What I love most about this piece is its versatility – the adjustable neckline allows you to style it as an off-the-shoulder dress, halter, bandeau, and many other ways, making it perfect for creating unique and memorable shots.
The stretchy, soft fabric ensures a comfortable fit for extended shoots, too. This blue off-the-shoulder dress is simplicity itself, yet exudes effortless charm – it’s an excellent choice for capturing the serenity of your maternity pictures. Another stunning option is this pleated chiffon maternity dress, available in a range of gorgeous colors.
It’s a fantastic pick because it stands out beautifully on its own while also providing a blank canvas for experimenting with accessories or your partner’s outfit. When styled with white, silver, and crystal accents, it takes on a fairytale-like quality – perfect for evoking royal elegance. The dress is also available in deep burgundy and burnt orange, making it an excellent choice for fall maternity photoshoots as well.
Feminine Pinks
These romantic dresses are versatile and can elevate any photoshoot in any season (just click the images to purchase each dress). To create a stylish look, I would pair them with neutral accessories and subtle gold jewelry. Additionally, they’re perfect for dressing up or down, making them suitable for various events like a wedding guest outfit. I’m enamored with the soft, ethereal quality of this chiffon maxi dress.
The delicate color and off-the-shoulder design will result in a charming, feminine appearance that’s ideal for maternity photoshoots. For my own tea party baby shower when I was expecting our daughter, I wore this stunning pink ruffle dress from ASOS Maternity – an impressive collection of maternity outfits for photos and fashion. The store offers a wide range of stylish options for expectant mothers looking to capture beautiful memories.
A long dress like this one is always a lovely choice for a maternity photo session. With its lightweight chiffon, flowing draping, and exquisite lace details, it exudes girly charm.
Wrap Dresses
Slipping into a wrap-style dress is a styling solution that’s both universally flattering and delightfully practical. These easy-to-wear pieces excel at keeping you cool and collected during extended photo shoots – perfect for sizzling summer days when comfort is key.
Off-the-Shoulder Maternity Dresses
For a lace option that’s understated yet elegant, look no further than boho-inspired maxi dresses like the one shown here. The delicate lace paired with an off-the-shoulder neckline creates a stunning, ethereal effect that’s perfect for capturing intimate moments during your photoshoot. For a more relaxed, effortless vibe, tiered off-the-shoulder dresses in rayon blends are ideal.
These dresses feature elastic necklines for added comfort and lightweight fabrics that will keep you cool throughout the shoot. If you’re looking to add some warmth to your fall maternity photoshoot, jewel-toned maxi dresses with blush-colored accessories and gold jewelry are a great combination. Alternatively, flowy chiffon dresses with high-cut leg peek-a-boo details offer a flirty twist that’s sure to capture your personality.
