Looking for a fun and fashionable way to do your maternity photos? Look no further than the maternity bodysuit for your photoshoot! They’re versatile, stylish, and super comfortable!
They offer support in all the right places and can be worn throughout your entire pregnancy. Plus, they’re so cute and flattering that you’ll want to wear them even after you’ve given birth. Talk about a win/win for any mom-to-be!
We’ve put together a few ideas on how to choose the right bodysuit, how to style it, and tips on feeling comfortable during your photoshoot!
How To Pick The Best Maternity Bodysuit For Your Photoshoot
You’ll find that you have many options when choosing a maternity bodysuit, so how do you know which will look the best on you?
The first thing to consider is if you want to show your arms or not. You can find bodysuits that are short-sleeved, long-sleeved, and flowy long-sleeved. If you want something a little different, try off-the-shoulder or halter style.
Once you’ve decided on the sleeve length, you can move on to necklines. Again, you have plenty of options here like boatneck, scoop neck, v-neck, and turtleneck.
Try to avoid busy patterns because they will distract from your beautiful bump. As far as colors, you can’t go wrong with solid colors, neutrals, or classic black or white!
And don’t forget about the details! You can find maternity bodysuits with ruffles, lace, printed graphics, and so much more! With so many options to choose from, it’s easy to find the perfect one for your style!
How To Style Your Maternity Bodysuit | Embrace Your Inner Fashionista
If you’ve looked on Pinterest for inspiration, you’ve likely noticed maternity bodysuits are all the rage in pregnancy fashion. With so many different ways to style them, it’s no surprise they’re so popular!
They’re so versatile that you can dress them up, dress them down, and wear them in day-to-day life. Styling your bodysuit can be a fun way to add a personal touch.
For a more casual look, you can wear the bodysuit alone (like my clients in this post have.)
Other ways to keep a casual look in a bodysuit are:
- Pair it with jeans and bare feet
- Layer it with a cardigan or oversized button-down shirt
- Wear a long silk or lace robe
- Layer it with a long scarf that drapes between your back and arms
- Pair it with a skirt

Whatever you choose, remember that you’re not limited to one outfit change in my studio.
If you choose to wear a maternity bodysuit for your photoshoot, have fun with it! You’ll still have extra wardrobe changes and access to my client closet!
Feeling Comfortable And Confident In Your Bodysuit
When choosing your bodysuit, try to get one made with stretchy, breathable fabric. Cotton, spandex, and lycra are great options. This will ensure the bodysuit fits snugly without being too tight.
To make sure you’ll feel comfortable during your photo shoot, take it out for a “test drive.”
Throw on a skirt or jeans, and wear it out for a day. This will give you a good idea of how it feels, so when it’s time for your photoshoot, you’re confident in your choice!
Afraid You Won’t Look Good in a Bodysuit?
Before we go any further, let’s talk about the elephant in the room – body image.
During pregnancy, your body is constantly changing. If you feel like you don’t have the body to rock a bodysuit, I’m here to give you a gentle pep talk.
Bodysuits look flattering on all baby bumps. I pinky promise.
If you’re still not convinced, here’s my suggestion: try one on from my client closet. Bring something to layer over it if you’re unsure.
If you don’t like it – don’t wear it.
But if you DO love it – embrace it!
I’ll never push you out of your comfort zone, but I haven’t had a maternity client yet that didn’t love their bodysuit photos!
If you’re looking for a way to make your maternity photos fashion-forward, consider wearing a bodysuit in one of your looks! You can thank me later. 🙂
