style mom's look first
Moms, deciding what to wear once you book your maternity photo session can be a doozy. Thankfully, I would never leave you to make these choices alone. Below you will find a super handy guide on colours, styles and full looks that you can incorporate into your family’s photo session this summer. Like with any maternity session, I advise you to dress yourself (mom) first in a way that helps you show off your belly. After that, it becomes easy to coordinate the rest of the family's clothing choices.
Colour palettes for summer
Neutrals like white or gray
Khaki, deep brown, ochre
