One of the most exciting parts of preparing for your maternity session is choosing what to wear. Whether you’re dreaming of an elegant outdoor session downtown or something more intimate and relaxed, your outfit plays a huge role in how your portraits feel.
Here are a few helpful tips I give to every mama-to-be who books with me in Savannah:
1. Soft Neutrals Always Win
Think ivory, blush, soft blues, and sage. These colors photograph beautifully in Savannah’s soft light and historic charm. They’re also timeless — meaning you’ll love these images just as much in 30 years as you do today.
2. Choose Dresses with Movement
Maxi dresses that have some flow to them are incredibly flattering and allow for natural movement in your photos. Downtown Savannah often brings a little breeze through the oak-lined streets, so that gentle fabric motion looks magical on camera.
3. Keep It Simple
Avoid bold patterns, logos, or neon colors. A simple, clean palette keeps the focus on you and the connection you have with your growing baby
4. Consider Layers or Texture
A soft cardigan, a lace robe, or even a silk ribbon tied around your waist can add variety and softness to your portraits without being overbearing.
5. Don’t Skip Professional Hair and Makeup
Even the most natural look photographs better when done by a pro. It’s one of the easiest ways to feel confident in front of the camera — and we work with the best artists in Savannah to help you feel your absolute best.
If you’re still not sure what to wear, don’t worry. I offer personalized wardrobe styling and even have a curated client closet full of session-ready pieces. You deserve to feel beautiful and relaxed while we create timeless images of this season in your life.
