What to Wear for Your Maternity Photoshoot: Stunning Outfit Ideas for Baltimore & Annapolis Moms

Hey beautiful mama!

If you’re here, chances are you’re expecting (congrats!), and also starting to plan your maternity photoshoot. One of the biggest questions I get as a Maryland maternity photographer is:

“What should I wear for my maternity session?”Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered (literally and figuratively!). Whether you want to look effortlessly chic, glam it up, or show off that gorgeous bump with flowy fabrics, I’m here to make sure you feel like the absolute goddess you are.

Here are some of my favorite style ideas for maternity photos, plus a little secret: I have a whole collection of stunning gowns, dresses, and luxe fabrics you’re welcome to borrow for your session with me. 💗

1. Go for Flow

Long, flowy dresses are a classic for a reason. They catch the breeze beautifully, drape over your bump, and create that soft, dreamy look everyone loves.

•Think chiffon, tulle, or lightweight silks in soft neutrals, dusty pinks, or rich jewel tones.

• Perfect for beach photos near Annapolis or an open field in Maryland at golden hour.

Fitted & Fabulous

Want to really show off that bump? Try a form-fitting dress in a stretchy fabric.

• I have some incredible fitted gowns in my client closet that hug your curves in all the right places.

• They look stunning in studio or against a simple outdoor backdrop for a modern, editorial vibe.

Bare Bump with Draped Fabrics

If you’re feeling a little adventurous, we can create gorgeous silhouettes with simple draped fabrics.

• These looks are so timeless and artistic.

• Plus, you’ll get some truly unique portraits that celebrate just how incredible your body is right now.

4. Layers & Accessories

Don’t be afraid to accessorize!

• Think delicate jewelry, big floppy hats, or even a cozy cardigan draped over your shoulders.

• Textures photograph beautifully and add dimension to your images.

By the Way…

Did I mention I have a whole collection of maternity gowns, dresses, and gorgeous fabrics you can borrow?

• From boho lace to sleek satin, they’re all carefully chosen to photograph beautifully and fit a range of sizes.

• I even have a page on my website where you can preview them all—think of it like a little online boutique just for my clients.
