If you’ve been exploring maternity photo styles, you may have noticed an uptick in boudoir maternity sessions. In fact, boudoir maternity is one of our specialties at Miette Photography! But if the thought of wearing lingerie—or being fully nude—in your maternity shoot makes you feel shy, here are some considerations when compared to a more modest shoot.
Examples of a Boudoir Maternity Session
Boudoir photos typically involve lingerie, sheer fabric, and plenty of skin. Why? Because your body is beautiful, and it’s doing an amazing thing! Many women talk about how empowered they feel during a boudoir session. And Jayme is a pro at helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera. 
These boudoir photos show just the right amount of skin and silhouette while keeping the photo classy and timeless. As your body changes during pregnancy and even in those weeks postpartum, you can revisit the photos to remind yourself of your radiance.
Examples of a Modest Maternity Session
A modest maternity session covers more skin while still highlighting your baby bump and gorgeous figure. We recommend tight, simple clothing that won’t distract from the main subject—you. Black and white clothing often photographs best, but the goal in these photos is always to stay true to yourself. So you can bring whatever outfit feels right to you!
Why Not Try Both Styles?
As it turns out, both sexy and sleek can work well for maternity photos. When preparing for a maternity shoot, you can bring flowing or statement pieces as well as any lingerie you love. Jayme does caution against wearing excessive makeup, false eyelashes, spray tans, and colored nails. The most natural version of you will never go out of style.
