Choosing the right outfit for your maternity photoshoot is essential—you want something that feels comfortable and makes you look and feel amazing! As a Langley maternity and newborn photographer, I’ve worked with many expecting moms and have put together a list of my favorite maternity photoshoot dresses. This guide includes a variety of styles from different retailers at a range of price points, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Plus, I’ve included some gorgeous options from my own client closet that are perfect for your session!

Shop: Worth Collective

Worth Collective has the most gorgeous maternity photoshoot dresses, and so many of them are bump friendly, which means you could wear it both as a maternity dress, and after baby arrives, which greatly extends the life of the dress! They also have so many great options in a range of sizes and prices, so you are sure to find something that you love! Here are a few of my current favourites!

1. Hunter Printed Gauze Midi Dress – $129
2. Haven Tie Front Maxi Dress – $144
3. Daphne Long Sleeve Maxi Dress – $185

I am absolutely LIVING for everything Gingham right now, so #1 is really speaking to me. I love the tie detail on the top, and the 3 1/4-length sleeve is perfect for spring. I also love the next line and little poofy sleeves on #2, and the small floral detail is so dainty and feminine. And then #3 is a favourite from my 2024 list! I think that a high slit is so gorgeous and the plunging neckline is stunning!

Shop: Sabo Skirt

I have just recently discovered Sabo Skirt (they weren’t on my 2024 list for maternity photoshoot dresses!) but wow they have some stunning pieces! A few of these options aren’t dresses but sets with a top and a maxi skirt. I think a few of these options would be gorgeous for a golden hour beach photoshoot.

1. Nia Skirt and Top Set – Skirt: $109.67 Top: $92.35
2. Tanisha Skirt and Top Set – Skirt: $112.55 Top: $95.24
3. Jazmin Dress – $147.19

I love the modern and elegant look of the pieces from Sabo Skirt. I am hoping to add #2 and #3 to my own client closet! They also have many fun designs and colour options as well.

Maternity Photoshoot Dresses From My Client Closet

As a maternity photographer, I offer a variety of stunning maternity photoshoot dresses in my client closet, available exclusively for my clients to wear during their sessions. I’ve carefully curated a collection featuring beautiful colours, amazing fabrics, and flattering cuts. While I love every piece in my closet, I wanted to highlight a few of my favourites that I’ve had the pleasure of photographing so far!

These are just a few of my personal favourites!

I love being able to offer my clients a client closet for them to choose from. It takes the pressure off of finding and purchasing a dress themselves. I also offer style guidance for the rest of their family or others who will be in the photos! If you are interested in hearing more about my offerings for maternity photoshoots, or how my client closet works, you can inquire about a session with me here!

Final Thoughts On Maternity Photoshoot Dresses

There are a few things you should also consider when selecting your dress or outfit for your maternity photoshoot:

• Where will you be taking photos? Consider your environment and select an outfit that compliments that environment where you won’t blend in or clash with your surroudings.
• Is your outfit your style and do you feel comfortable? It is so easy to select something based off of what we see is popular on social media, but these are YOUR photos and YOUR memories, so let’s make sure they feel like you!

There are also so many alternative options for purchasing a dress for maternity photos! You could search for any of these brands on Facebook Marketplace (I have done that and found some great deals!), or you could borrow from a friend who has had maternity photos taken in the past.
