5 Maternity Photoshoot Dress Options We Love

When you think of maternity photos, you probably envision a woman holding her beautiful bump under a long, floral-printed dress with a flower crown on her head. And while we love the gorgeous, ethereal vibe those photos carry, we have news for you: there's more than one maternity aesthetic for you to consider.

Whether your style is classic, edgy, or more traditionally feminine, the perfect dress is out there for you. (If you're typically a jeans-and-leather-jacket kind of girl, go ahead and skip the dress all together.) The key is to find something that shows off the bump and makes you feel beautiful, comfortable, and—most importantly—like you. Here are a few places to start.

Buru Brie Bowtie Stripe Shirt Dress ($128)

It's hard to go wrong with black-and-white stripes — especially vertical stripes, which work wonders in elongating your frame. This number is modern, polished, and even works in the office—try layering it over black tights on a cool day.

Hatch The Ricky Slip Dress ($278)

This slinky dress has a classic maternity photo feel thanks to its length and soft color palette, but hits a more modern and streamlined note. We love how the material hugs the bump, and we especially love how this piece looks underneath a leather jacket for a post-maternity shoot dinner. It's available in other colors as well, but we're partial to gender-neutral yellow.
