C&G Photography: "What to Wear" Fridays - Maternity

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to the next installment of "What to Wear" Fridays. Today we are talking about baby bumps :)

Maternity sessions and pregnancy in general is such a beautiful thing. Celebrating the wondrous experience of creating a new life is so amazing. So the question always comes up "What Should We Wear". Your comfort is most important and that is my priority during our session. I strive to capture beautiful moments of you and your spouse, but also make the experience enjoyable and comfortable. As a woman myself, I understand the strong desire to create flattering portraits.

You should come to your session ready to show off your beautiful belly and your new curves at or near your 3rd trimester (34+weeks). Some may not be feeling up to it or very sexy around that time, just remember to wear that outfit that has been making you feel fabulous and chic whether it be jeans, shorts or a cute little dress!

Form fitting pieces such as tanks or t-shirts are great and can be paired with a sweater to add layers and texture in the colder months. Sweater dresses are popular right now because they are feminine, soft and they show off your curves : ) Leggings, pants with lower waistlines such as jeans, shorts or long skirts also looks great. If you are planning on showing some skin, do not wear anything restricting around your belly a few hours before your session. The elastic can leave unflattering marks around your belly, the same goes for socks and straps.

Just remember, show off your bump and have fun!
