3. Keep It Simple, Soft And Timeless:

If you prefer to wear something from home that is okay too. A few quick tips to help guide your decisions on what to wear for maternity photos. Neutral tones, soft fabrics and coordinating outfits (rather than matching) always photograph beautifully. As mentioned earlier, I do offer a client wardrobe for mom and baby, that is timeless, flattering and comfortable. So you don’t need to shop unless you want to. Whether you’re planning for your maternity session in Durham Region or a baby milestone photo shoot, my client wardrobe ensures you feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.
