Whether you’re having a professional home maternity shoot or getting your partner to snap your pics, feeling beautiful and confident will make all the difference. After sharing some maternity photo inspo on my IG stories I received a bunch of requests for outfit ideas, so here we are. Keep scrolling for 10 outfit ideas that you probably already own - linking to lots of options just in case you don’t.
P.S: I’m currently writing this amidst Covid-19 and I shared some tips on how to capture maternity moments yourself on the caption of this post. There’s also this amazing downloadable guide from a profesh photog that’s specifically for expecting mothers in quarantine.

A Dress
Chances are you already own one if you’re pretty far in your pregnancy because are we not LIVING in dresses right now? A tight black dress can go a long way, accentuating all the lovely lady lumps your body is sporting right now. Play with your hair especially if you’re doing a profile shot - maybe a top knot or high pony to really give it some oomph. I love a good slip dress to show off the bump but be a little more forgiving elsewhere. And you can’t go wrong with something flowy and comfortable- just make sure you position your hands so you can show off your little one.
Bodysuit
Bless the bodysuit trend, ammiright? You probably own one from your pre-preggers days that you might still be able to squeeze into. If not, there’s tons of low price options from Nordstrom. I love a bodysuit shot because it’s SO sexy without having to get down into your bra + undies which can be a little daunting. You get leg, bump, and booty… all the good things! In terms of sizing, I ordered 2 sizes up from my regular size to accommodate my 25 week bump.
Jeans + Bra
An unbuttoned jeans moment is just so so good! This looks super cute in a profile shot and sitting down cross-legged. If you don’t feel comfortable wearing a bra just throw on a white tee and tie it up in a little knot or cropped sweater.
White Button Down
Steal one from your man! This is a great chance to get a profile shot with just a peak of your tummy showing.
Oversized Tee or sweater
Very casual and comfy. Definitely requires getting creative with angles and holding the bump (if you’re trying to show her off) but it’s a vibe and I love it.
Other Ideas
bikinis, kimono, matching bra + undies, robe, nighty, or cardigan

Lisbon is our family’s favorite city in Europe; it’s beautiful and charming, with plenty of activities to keep a little one entertained, most people speak English, and the food options are a-plenty! Here are all my tips for visiting Lisbon, Portugal with your toddler.
