Before we step into my maternity client closet lets go over some styling Do’s and Dont’s:
Less is More: The Beauty of Simplicity
Maternity photos are more than just pictures—they’re timeless keepsakes that you'll cherish for years to come. As you look back on them throughout your life, you’ll realize it’s not the little details that matter most, but you, your baby, and the incredible strength of your body.
When it comes to timeless maternity photos, simplicity is key. It never goes out of style. To keep the focus where it belongs—on you and your beautiful journey—opt for:
Soft whites, neutrals, blacks, and earthy tones
Simple designs and colors that accentuate your curves
Comfort is Key: How to Feel Your Best During Your Maternity Photoshoot
Whatever you choose to wear, comfort is key. When you’re uncomfortable, it shows in photos. If you’re wearing something from my client closet, rest assured—you can expect nothing but comfort. All of the fabrics are soft, stretchy, and designed to move with you, so you can focus on enjoying the moment, not adjusting your outfit.
Maternity Session: What to Wear – The Dos & Don'ts
DO:
Keep it simple
Whites, neutrals, muted & earthy tones, blacks
Things that flatter & accentuate bump & curve
Confortable shoes or barefoot
Choose your outfit first & coordinate partners around it to compliment
Colors that compliment your skin tone
DONT:
Distracting patterns
Boxy clothes, they can hide even the biggest bump!
Loud, bright or neon colors. They do not photograph well
Logos - they steal the show
Baseball hats or anything thats distracting or doesn’t coordinate

Love note from a mama
“From start to finish, Alyssa was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She took the time to understand my vision and style, and was able to bring it to life through her artistic talent and attention to detail.
One of the things that really stood out to me was Alyssa's ability to give clear direction while still allowing me to feel comfortable and confident throughout the shoot. She did my hair beforehand which was made me feel great (like when you go to a hair appt and suddenly every picture looks good).
The final photos are absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend Lovdahl Photography to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares about capturing the essence of THEM.'“
