As you are planning out the special details of your maternity photos, I’m confident that a flattering and beautiful dress is at the forefront of your mind. It can be a difficult task to find something you feel beautiful in when your body is changing. To make sure you are highlighting the beautiful life you are growing, I recommend soft fabrics, flowy dresses and midi to maxi length. Whether you are envisioning something relaxed or on the more glamorous and elegant side for your maternity photos, these are my recommendations for photo-worthy dresses.

• Nothing Fits But – soft fabrics and classic patterns paired with their figure flattering silhouettes ensure that your purchase is versatile and will carry you throughout the postpartum period.
• Worth Collective– my current favorite store, their ethereal dresses photograph so beautifully! A lovely mix of solid and patterned dresses, they are incredibly flattering throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Several of my mamas have worn dresses from here! For real life photos, look at Chelsea, Elizabeth, and Madeline.
• Doen– feminine and classic, Doen dresses are perfect for the carefree and relaxed mom-to-be. My pick? The Izabal dress. Perfection!
• Love Shack Fancy– ruffles, florals, and frills-oh my! If you are looking for something sophisticated, classic, and feminine, this store is for you! The Minka dress in white or blue, the Vermella, and the Dalila would beautifully showcase your growing bump.
• Hill House– if Southern classic is more your style, Hill House offers timeless smocked silhouettes and beautiful patterns. Their famous Nap dress and the Maternity Matilda dress (the print is to die for!) are my favorites.

When shopping for a dress for maternity photos, it is essential to know that you are selecting high quality fabrics and prints that not only photograph well, but make you feel the most beautiful and radiant. I am confident that you’ll find the perfect dress from one of the stores above and I hope I’ve helped you in your search.
