One of the most common questions I get before a maternity session is, “What should I wear?” Your outfit choices play a big role in how your images feel and whether you lean more casual or dressy, there’s a way to make your look reflect your personality and story beautifully.
Let’s talk about two of the most popular styles right now: one casual and one a little more elevated.
The Casual Look: Jeans, Bare Belly, and Bare Feet
There’s something incredibly raw and powerful about a casual maternity look. Think your favorite pair of jeans (unbuttoned, of course), a simple white top, and your beautiful belly on display.
This style is all about relaxed comfort that celebrates the quiet, in-between moments of motherhood. Pairing denim with bare feet gives your photos a grounded, effortless feel that’s both timeless and personal. It’s perfect if you love natural light, authentic emotion, and an unposed vibe that feels like you.
A few tips:
- Choose jeans that fit comfortably below your belly.
- Stick with white or neutral tones that let your skin and bump be the focus.
- Bare feet photograph beautifully, adding intimacy to your images.
