What to Wear for Maternity Photos That Feel Effortless and Elegant in Coral Springs & Beyond
You're glowing, you're growing, and you're preparing to meet the love of your life—so now’s the perfect time to plan your maternity photos.

But the question every mama-to-be asks is:“What should I wear for my maternity photos?”
At Jennifer Ubinas Photography, we help women across South Florida feel confident, stylish, and comfortable during their maternity photoshoots. Here’s your go-to wardrobe guide that keeps things simple, elegant, and completely you.
👗 1. Choose Flowing Fabrics That Flatter
Dresses that move with the breeze, wrap softly around your bump, and create movement photograph beautifully—especially outdoors or in our studio’s natural-light setups.
Top picks:
Chiffon maxi dresses
Stretchy jersey gowns with a slit
Off-the-shoulder flowy gowns
Lace overlay dresses for a romantic look
Why it works:
Shows off your shape without clinging too tight
Gives variety in poses and motion
Softens the overall look in camera
🌿 2. Stick to a Soft, Neutral Color Palette
We always recommend mamas wear tones that are earthy, romantic, and timeless. These colors photograph beautifully across all South Florida backdrops—whether it’s beachy, botanical, or studio-based.
Top color picks:
Cream, taupe, blush, and soft olive
Muted peach, dusty rose, and warm beige
Greys, soft whites, or classic black (yes, black can be elegant!)
Bonus: These colors coordinate perfectly with your partner or children if they’re joining the shoot.
🧥 3. Add Texture—Not Prints
Instead of bold patterns or logos, opt for textured pieces that add visual interest without taking the attention away from your baby bump.
Try:
Lace details
Knits or ribbed cotton
Tulle overlays
Silk or satin draping
Photographing in Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, or Delray Beach? These textures pop against Florida’s greenery or white sands.
🩶 4. Keep It Comfortable & True to You
The most important rule? You should feel like yourself.If you feel awkward, it’ll show. If you feel stunning, we’ll capture it.
Options for mamas who want less formality:
Fitted bodysuits with robes
Casual jeans + bralette combos
Minimalist studio looks with natural makeup
Bare belly with button-down shirt for a lifestyle vibe
At Jennifer Ubinas Photography, we provide styling guidance, a full client wardrobe, and posing direction so you feel confident every step of the way.
