Deciding what to wear for your maternity photos can feel like a lot—especially when your body’s changing and you want to feel beautiful, comfortable, and confident all at once. The good news? If you’re booking your maternity session with me here in the Shreveport–Bossier area, you don’t have to stress over wardrobe at all.

I’ve curated a growing client closet of gorgeous, bump-friendly dresses that photograph beautifully and flatter every stage of pregnancy. So whether you’re dreaming of a soft and romantic outdoor session in Benton, Louisiana, or a cozy indoor shoot here in Shreveport, I’ve got the perfect piece ready for you.
Here’s what you need to know when choosing what to wear for your maternity photos—and how I make it easy for you.

I can suggest complementary color palettes, outfit combinations, and even recommend places to shop that align with your session’s overall aesthetic—whether you’re going for earthy and natural, soft and romantic, or bold and vibrant.
I’ll guide you through:
