Trying to figure out how to dress for your fall photo shoot? Picking out outfits for you and your growing belly can be really stressful!
One of the most frequently asked questions I get from clients is about their wardrobe and what they should wear to their photoshoot. I am constantly on Pinterest looking for wardrobe ideas for families, children, high school seniors, and couples. If you would like to check out my finds make sure to follow my What to Wear – Photo Outfits board on Pinterest.
Contrary to what you might think, the best clothes to wear are usually not maternity clothes. Maternity clothes, especially pants, usually have a thick elastic band around your belly for your comfort, but do not photograph well because they usually create a seam around your belly. Your aim is for a smooth shot of the belly, not one with a line running through it. The best way to go is to wear fitted, but stretchy clothes.
Some Suggestions:
Panel free pants
Fitted tank or t-shirt
Maxi dress (a pregnant girls best friend)
Long flowing skirt (fold over or fitted)
Unbuttoned pregnancy jeans
Lingerie, Swim Suit, or Fabric Wraps
Unbuttoned top {Your shirt or sweater or your husbands that can be buttoned at top and unbuttoned at bottom to expose belly}
Robe
Sentimental jewelry {If your ring doesn’t fit anymore wear it on a necklace}
Black {Best slimming color if you are self-conscious about your weight gain}
Another thing to think about when picking out clothes for a photoshoot is the fact that you will be having these photos for a long time. You don’t want to look back in ten years and be mortified at the outfits you picked out, so when in doubt go for classic looks that will stand the test of time. I’m not saying you have to necessarily play it safe in all of your outfits, but you may want to just think about this.
