Maternity Photoshoot Style Guide | Day-Dream Photography

Intro

Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful seasons of life, and your maternity photos should reflect that glow. At Day-Dream Photography in Coral Springs, I help moms-to-be feel confident, elegant, and radiant in front of the camera. From flattering colors to timeless fabrics and pose guidance, here’s your guide to planning the perfect maternity photoshoot.

1) The Best Time for Maternity Photos

• 28–34 weeks is the sweet spot. Your bump is beautifully round, and you’ll still feel comfortable enough to pose and move with ease.

• If you’re carrying multiples or at risk of early delivery, consider booking a bit earlier (24–28 weeks).

2) Flattering Colors

Colors can highlight your glow and elevate your photos:

• Neutrals & Pastels: Cream, beige, blush, sage, dusty blue → dreamy and timeless.

• Bold but Elegant: Deep emerald, burgundy, navy → luxurious contrast while still sophisticated.

• Avoid Busy Prints: Solid colors and soft textures photograph best in my fine-art style.

Tip: Choose a color that compliments your skin tone and blends beautifully with your partner or family’s outfits.

3) Fabrics That Photograph Beautifully

The right fabric makes all the difference:

• Flowy chiffon or silk: Creates movement and grace.

• Stretchy knits or lace: Accentuates your bump in a polished way.

• Sheer overlays: Add softness and dimension, perfect for fine-art maternity looks.

💡 I provide a wardrobe collection in-studio, including stunning gowns and see-through fabrics (like the dreamy blue dress from my recent model call).

4) Posing Tips for Radiant Photos

Don’t worry about “what to do with your hands” — I’ll guide you every step. Some of my go-to flattering poses include:

• Hand on bump: One hand above, one below to frame your belly.

• Angled stance: Slight turn to the side elongates the body and highlights curves.

• Movement shots: Walking, twirling, or flowing fabric creates dreamy elegance.

• Partner connection: Partner hands on bump, gentle kiss, or forehead-to-forehead closeness.

• Seated grace: Softly draped gowns over a bench or studio prop for a regal, timeless look.

5) Studio vs. Outdoor Options

• Studio (Coral Springs): Elegant, fine-art backdrops with curated lighting and gowns.

• Outdoor (Broward County locations): Natural light and lush settings — ideal for golden-hour magic.

6) What to Bring

• Nude or seamless undergarments (strapless bra, nude panties)

• Accessories: delicate jewelry, flower crown, or meaningful heirlooms

• Partner/family outfits that complement, not compete, with your gown
