Maternity Studio Session Prep Guide
Welcome! I’m so excited you’ve booked your maternity session with me. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know—what to bring, how to prepare, and what to expect. My goal is to make sure you feel confident, relaxed, and absolutely radiant during your shoot.
Session Overview
Your maternity session includes:
✔️ Up to 3 outfit changes
✔️ 1 hour of studio time
✔️ A private bathroom for outfit changes
✔️ A calm, supportive environment so you can feel your best
What to Wear
Not sure what to bring? Here are some client-favorite looks that photograph beautifully in my natural-light studio:
- Maternity Dress – Flowing or form-fitting, in solid or soft tones
- Bodysuit – Modern, clean, and flattering
- Bra & Underwear Set – For a soft, artistic, intimate vibe
- Shorts + Open Shirt or Bra – A relaxed, edgy option
- Suit Jacket + Pants – A bold, elegant, high-fashion feel
Need help deciding?
Feel free to send me outfit photos or shopping links—I’m happy to help you pick pieces that work best with your style and our studio setup.
Backdrop Tip:
I work with soft neutral-colored backdrops (white, beige, gray), so I recommend outfits in neutral, earthy, or muted tones for a clean, timeless look.
Shoes or Barefoot?
Either works beautifully! Just avoid sneakers or busy patterns.
Including Your Partner or Family
If your spouse, partner, or another loved one is joining, please make sure they’re also dressed with intention. Think:
- Neutral colors (creams, tans, greys)
- Simple textures
- No loud patterns or logos
You don’t need to match—just coordinate for a soft, cohesive look that keeps the focus on your connection.
Tips for a Smooth Session
- ✨ Stay hydrated and eat a light snack before you arrive
- 🧴 Moisturize hands, belly, knees, and feet if they’ll be visible
- 👗 Try on your outfits ahead of time to ensure comfort and fit
- ⌚ Remove tight jewelry/hair ties to avoid marks on your skin
Have questions or need a second opinion on outfits? I’m just a message away. I want this session to reflect your beauty and strength, and I’m here to help every step of the way.
Can’t wait to see you in the studio!
