Maternity Photography Ottawa | Styling Your Session. Planning your maternity session should feel exciting—not stressful. At Sara McConnell Photography, we guide you through every step, including what to wear. Here are five ways we help you plan your wardrobe so you feel confident and comfortable during your session.
1. Your Comfort Level
First, we talk about what you’re comfortable showing. Some clients love showing off their bare belly. Others prefer to keep their arms or bump covered. There’s no right or wrong—just what feels best for you.
2. Your Current Size
Next, we look at how far along you are in your pregnancy and your current size. This helps us choose dresses or gowns from our studio wardrobe that fit you well.
3. The Season
We also consider the weather. If it’s winter, you’ll want layers to stay warm. In the summer, we’ll keep fabrics light so you stay cool and comfortable. Planning for the season helps you enjoy your session without the discomfort of clothes that are mismatch to the season.
4. Your Family’s Outfits
If your family is participating in the session, we help coordinate colours and styles so everyone looks great together. The goal is to make sure you and your family, not your outfits, are the stars of the show.
5. The Types of Photos You Want
Finally, we plan based on how you want to move. Some outfits work best for standing poses. Others are better for sitting or walking shots. We choose wardrobe options that work with the photos you envision.
