Do you ever wonder what the best maternity dresses are for a photo session? I’ve got you covered! I have over 7o dresses in my studio wardrobe, and I often get asked which are the most popular and which ones I love photographing the most, so I thought it would be fun to put a blog post together featuring 10 of my favorites. All of my wardrobe pieces are complimentary for every session.
All the applicable photos are linked for your convenience (some are no longer available online).

#1 Free People Adella Maxi
Everything about this dress is magic – the fit, the gorgeous textured detail, the material, and most of all the versatility of this dress. This is the Stardust color, but there’s many more to choose from.

#2 Baltic Born Jasmine Dress
The ruffles on this dress add so much beauty and movement, and the silhouette of this dress lends itself so nicely to maternity shots. There’s also other colors offered!

#3 Free People Intimate Lace Gown
An oldie, but goodie! I’ve had this awhile now, so I don’t think it’s available for purchase anymore. This gown is stunning. It’s the perfect mix of feminine lace & neutral colors to showcase that beautiful silhouette. It’s also a great choice for an intimate maternity session if you don’t want to show as much skin.
#4 Fillyboo Wonder Years Dress
One of my most requested dresses for sure! Photographs so beautifully for maternity and newborn. It’s got a forgiving fit & stunning lace & button details. It’s unique and a show piece. They just came out with some floral versions of this dress that I have my eye on!

#5 Free People Santa Maria Dress
This dress is seriously my favorite one of all 70 dresses I have. It’s flattering, unique, has gorgeous details and showcases a bump like no other. I also have this dress in a light olive color that is equally as magical!

#6 Show Me Your Mumu June Dress
This is a simple beauty, not too trendy, not too traditional. A soft pink color, fit for a momma expecting a girl! It’s dainty, feminine, flattering and timeless. You can’t go wrong.

#7 Gingham & Heels Lace Maxi Dress
This one is a fan favorite here at SRP – for both maternity & newborn. Many mommas ask me for dresses with sleeves, and this piece does a great job of covering you up a bit but still making you feel beautiful. I also have this dress in a blush color that is fabulous. This dress is not available on their site anymore.
#8 Vici Blue Linen Maxi Dress
Such a beautiful choice if you’re expecting a boy! This dress is a luxurious linen material that drapes over a bump so perfectly, and that neckline detail makes it that much more stunning!
This one is no longer available online.
#9 Plum Pretty Sugar Honor Dress
This is one of those dresses that seriously looks good on everyone. It has a supportive smocked bodice, off the shoulder petal sleeves and then flows down so beautifully with stunning hand embroidery along the bottom. This dress is very popular. I have it in white, mauve, and two different floral patterns.

#10 Altar’d State Pastel Halter Maxi
And last but certainly not least, this stunner definitely makes the cut. Adorned in panels of pale blue and pink linen is this halter maxi with a v neck, smocked back and grey details.
This one is no longer available online.
