Let me make that a bit easier for you

Be authentically you. If you're a casual person - Be casual. If you love to dress up do. If your sensual and want to celebrate your changing body do.  These are YOUR photos, they need to represent you in every way.

1

Decide what kind of session you would like. 
You can have an intimate session that involves alot of bare skin or even full nudity. Or a more traditional session where you are fully dressed in a gorgeous flowing dress. You can start fully clothed and slowly strip down to have a mix of it all. 

2

Think of the location. The location dictates your outfit choice from the start, so if you haven't already got a spot in mind, feel free to reach-out for some recommendations. Will it be a casual beach session or will you be dressed up around town? Consider the vibe you are going for first as you select your outfits.

3

Have everyone matching. Remember the old family photos where we were all wearing denim and white shirts?

Personally I like solid flat colours for maternity sessions as they truly let your stunning changing body shine through.

Dress for the 
location

Embrace all
your beauty

Instead,                  look for colours with a similar intensity that compliment each other.
Here are some colours I love right now!

To add depth and interest to your photos. Make it interesting with a few coordinating subtle patterns and textures. 
Think Knitts, Linen, Lace, Denim and Cordroy.

Mix and
Match

Wear clothes that don't fit you.

Underwear that is digging on or bulging on the side doesn't look very flattering, if thats had to find in this season of life opt for crop tops, sports style bras or swimwear.  
In the same sentiment dresses that arn't fitted well don't reveal your belly and you will be spending alot of the session using your hands to shape the dress - just something to keep in mind.

6

Opt for dressed that wrap around or have an opening to revel your belly. 
This is a great way to still celebrate your bump without getting fully unclothed. 
AND add your own creative flare if your a retro t-shirt kind of family embrace that or if you love the idea of high waisted undies - lets embrase the fun in that. 

7

Wear dark eye makeup or get that spray tan. 
Keep your makeup simple, we want to see YOU. If you love the long fake eyelashes and a strong fake tan that you wear every day then that's ok as it represents who you are but if you are doing it just for the pictures keep this in mind -  too much dark around the eyes can make them disappear altogether and a fake tan can look quite orange when combined with a warmer edit. 

8

 - Bold logos or words on t-shirts. 
 - Wear black - it can be hard to edit and drowns out 
    everything around it. Opt for greys or browns instead. 
 - Wear fine stripes or checks, they do the strangest things to cameras. 

 - Bring your watches or sunnies with you to the shoot.
