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.
Soft, Flowy Dresses Always Win
In maternity photography, movement is magic. That’s why I always recommend flowy, floor-length dresses that catch the light and breeze just right. These silhouettes add softness to your images and allow for natural, elegant posing—whether you’re standing, sitting, or snuggled up with your partner.
All of the dresses in my client wardrobe are carefully chosen with this in mind. Think light fabrics, dreamy textures, and neutral or earthy tones that work beautifully in every season and location around Shreveport–Bossier.
Seasonal Color Palettes That Photograph Beautifully
Not sure what color works best for your session? Here’s a quick cheat sheet based on the season and Louisiana’s natural light:
- Spring in Shreveport: Soft pastels like blush, sage, baby blue, and ivory
- Summer in Bossier City: Light neutrals, warm cream tones, terracotta, or dusty rose
- Fall in Benton: Mustard, rust, forest green, warm taupes, and burnt orange
- Winter indoors: Cool neutrals like dove gray, oatmeal, deep plum, or classic black
These tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on you—your glow, your connection, and the little life you’re growing.
Styling for the Whole Family? I’ve Got You
Including your partner or children in your maternity session? Yes please! These moments are so special, and I’m here to make sure everyone looks and feels great—without the stress of coordinating outfits on your own.
Once you choose your dress from my client wardrobe, I’ll help you build a cohesive look for your whole crew. 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:
- Outfit coordination (without being too “matchy-matchy”)
- Layering tips for kids and partners
- Footwear choices that are comfortable and cute for Louisiana locations
You won’t have to figure it out alone—I’m your built-in stylist and hype girl.
Bonus: Comfort Is Key
Maternity sessions are meant to be relaxed and enjoyable. All of the wardrobe pieces I offer are bump-friendly, breathable, and allow for movement. You won’t be tugging at straps or feeling restricted—we’re all about ease, comfort, and natural beauty here.
