16 Stunning Maternity Dresses for Your Photo Shoot

In collaboration with Blue Sugar Photography, we are bringing you this article about 16 Stunning Maternity Dresses for Your Photo Shoot! I’m excited to share this article with you all because JandLOnline is all about helping you create joy in motherhood.

Take your photo session to the next level with gorgeous maternity gowns and outfits.

Pregnancy is a very special time and you’ll want to capture as many memories of your growing baby bump as you can. We typically suggest that mamas schedule their maternity sessions to take place between 28 and 36 weeks. This will allow enough time for a nice baby bump to show and still have mama feeling comfortable enough to move around during the photos.  Once you’ve got your portrait session scheduled, you’ll need to decide what you want to wear for your maternity photos.  Some photographers who specialize in maternity portraiture, such as Blue Sugar Photography, have a client closet of amazing gowns to select from. This takes a lot of the guesswork out and relieves the pressure of having to purchase a gown yourself. It also allows you to select several looks rather than one since you aren’t spending the extra money on dresses, giving you the opportunity to use the surplus funds for an album or prints.

“You’re only pregnant for a short time, why not freeze these moments and share them with your daughters and their daughters.” ~Lavelle House, maternity portrait photographer in Loudoun County, VA.

As you’re browsing our collection of stunning maternity dresses, be sure to note the fit and style of the gowns. Form fitted gowns and knits will accentuate your growing belly and bodysuits can be a great studio options as well. Long and flowy gowns can create an elegant and high end look and don’t forget the open front option to show off your baby bump.  The best maternity outfit can be fancy or simple and understated, as long as mama-to-be feels comfortable and looks amazing. End your search for the best maternity dress right here!

Who else has multiple Christmas trees in their hom Who else has multiple Christmas trees in their homes? Do you have themed trees?

This little 4ft flocked tree was part of my annual Magical Santa sessions last year and is perfect for the foyer table. (Linked in stories)

I still love my 2020 dollar store Santa head ornaments and they restocked them this year so I snagged some more to fill out this tree and I love the whimsy.
This is our first year with a faux tree as our mai This is our first year with a faux tree as our main Christmas tree and I'm loving it!

We snagged this 12ft tall pre-lit Wesley long needle pine from @homedepot last year at a closeout deal.

Not having to string the lights was a huge time-saver and I got to enjoy hanging the decorations more than in years past.

Spaces we designed in our basement:
+ A locked mechanical room
+ Under stairs storage
+ Craft room (will be used for indoor all year gardening and canning storage)
+ Home gym
+ Photo studio with outside entrance and a full bathroom

The design of the photo studio was intended to double as a future in-law suite with separate living and bedroom spaces and a private bathroom and entrance/exit should we ever need to have one of our parents move in with us.

What spaces are you designing in your basement? 🖤🍂
