What’s in the guide
Most wardrobe advice is written by people who have never photographed a maternity session.
This isn’t. Then a clean bulleted teaser of the contents:
- Two style directions — Soft & Painterly vs. Bold & Editorial — and how to know which one is yours
- Three color palettes that photograph beautifully on a maternity body
- Fabrics that work — chiffon, silk, lace, linen — and the ones that don’t
- Silhouettes and what they tell — fitted, flowing, draped, editorial
- Denim sessions done right — the cuts, the fits, the rule about skinny jeans
- Cultural and traditional dress — saree, lehenga, hanbok, kimono, and the ceremonies that come with them
- How to coordinate with your partner without matching
- A short list of what to skip — and why each one fights the camera
