How to Feel Stylish for Your Maternity Photos

I’m so thrilled to team up with my friends at Rove to bring you this awesome blog post!

Rove is a new woman-owned company virtually connecting shoppers to online stylists! You get to work directly with a stylist to source an item, outfit(s), or consult on your styling needs. Personal stylists typically charge $200+/hr, but Rove offers access to stylists with all the same personalized benefits at a cost comparable to a workout class. This service would be PERFECT for helping you find just the right look for your maternity photos!

The thing about your maternity session, especially, is that this is such a unique time in your life. Normally, you may spend months or even years thinking about your personal style, what brands you like, etc. but all of that really goes out the window when you’re expecting. All of a sudden you’re trying to dress a body that feels totally new and different to you, and you have no idea where to even look for maternity clothes.

I personally spent *ALOT* of time scouring the internet for the perfect dress for my own maternity photos. Rove would have helped save me so much time and effort – and find something even better than I did!

Their founder, Becca, and I, wanted to share some tips from some Rove stylists on how to style and feel great for your maternity photos!

“For a maternity shoot, you really want to accentuate that beautiful bump! A fitted maxi dress with the right accessories can feel so chic and stylish. Another great option is an oversized button down, unbuttoned, starting at the top of the belly to expose your bump. Pair it with some flowy draw string or elastic waistband pants. What’s most important is that you feel comfortable and confident. Choose something that feels authentic to you and that also celebrates your body.”

“In terms of style tips, I love an exposed belly with a matching set but a tight full length dress also provides a fun feminine look!” & “Baby bumps come in all shapes and sizes, and no two are the same. That’s what makes them so beautiful! Maternity shoots are a time to celebrate your body and what it is doing, so wear whatever best reflects that feeling!”
