What to Wear for Your Lifestyle Maternity Session in Montreal

Your maternity photos are all about celebrating this incredible chapter of your life. The right outfit can help you feel confident, comfortable, and camera-ready. Not sure where to start? Here are my go-to tips for helping you decide what to wear for your maternity photo session.

Go for Comfort & Movement

Lifestyle maternity photography is about natural connection, not stiff posing. comfort is key when it comes to choosing your outfit.

Flowing dresses or soft, fitted knits let you move easily while beautifully highlighting your bump.

I also remember how comfortable maternity jeans were! That paired with a nice fitted top to show off your bump works well.

Choose Neutral, Timeless Colors

Soft tones like beige, blush, sage, or cream photograph beautifully and create a timeless feel. Want a pop of color? Jewel tones like deep green or burgundy work great in fall or winter.

Think About Location & Season

• Outdoor sessions: Dress in layers to stay comfortable, especially during Montreal’s cooler months. In summer time, light and flowy work well.

• In-home sessions: Barefoot and cozy knits work beautifully for a relaxed, intimate look.

  
  

Bring a Second Option

Just in case, I recommend bringing two outfits — one casual (for a laid-back feel) and one slightly dressier (for elegant portraits). Even simply bringing a cardigan can change up the look
