Creating your perfect maternity photoshoot: customising every detail to match your style

Every maternity session is about capturing YOU—your personality, your style, and this unique season in your life. For some moms-to-be, that means wearing their own clothes rather than a special gown, creating an authentic look that feels true to who they are. In today’s featured session, my beautiful client chose a soft, peach-colored dress from her own wardrobe, adding a personal touch to her beach photos that made them even more meaningful.

Why Choose Your Own Clothes for Your Maternity Photoshoot?

There’s something incredibly special about choosing your own outfit for a maternity session. Wearing a dress or outfit that you already love brings a sense of comfort and confidence that shines through in the photos. Whether you prefer a flowing dress, something fitted, or even a more casual look, choosing an outfit from your own closet can make your maternity photos feel more natural and uniquely you.

My Approach to Highlighting Your Style

When you wear your own clothes, my goal is to make sure your personal style is the star. We’ll choose a setting, lighting, and poses that complement your outfit and bring out the best in your look. In today’s beach session, the soft waves and gentle light helped highlight the natural beauty of my client’s chosen dress, creating a relaxed, timeless feel.

Capturing Your Authentic Self

Wearing your own clothes also adds a level of authenticity to the experience. It’s easier to feel at ease when you’re dressed in something familiar and true to your style. During our session, I’ll focus on capturing those natural moments where you feel comfortable and beautiful, so your photos reflect the real you.
