What month of pregnancy should I do photoshoot?

It’s totally up to you!

Many of our Peanut mamas-to-be choose to have their maternity photoshoot in the summer or fall, so the weather’s sunny for an outdoor photoshoot.

But if your baby bump is making its appearance in the winter months, that works, too ‒ just dress up warm!

What do you wear under maternity gown?

It depends on the type of maternity photoshoot dress you choose.

If you have a strapless or off-shoulder dress, it can be best to go for a strapless bra.

And some Peanut mamas prefer to wear some sort of bump-supporting shapewear, like this shapewear by Belevation.

Try to go for as close to your skin color as possible, so it doesn’t show through the maternity photoshoot dress, especially if you’re wearing a lacey or sheer gown.

How to make a maternity dress for photoshoot

If you’re a seamstress or a DIY mama and you feel like making your own maternity photoshoot dress, go for it!

We love the idea of going full Beyoncé with a big piece of tulle or chiffon to cover yourself with, with your best maternity underwear on show.

Simple, cheap, and stunning.
