LET’S TALK GENDER REVEAL OUTFITS!
I highly recommend hiring a professional photographer for a gender reveal session. These 10 months fly by and anything you have to remember the time will be cherished down the road. The gender reveal videos are so fun and for SURE a great way to share with your loved ones, but I suggest doing photos too!
So, if you are going to hire someone, you should take advantage of the time you have and the professional quality and shoot a couple different looks. I know, not everyone is a fashion blogger like me, but you will appreciate it later. Trust me. Plus, who doesn’t love an excuse to buy new things and get dressed up?!
GET FANCY ~
Like I said, who doesn’t love a chance to dress up!? Having a fancy option for occasion photos is always my go-to. When I saw this sequin jumpsuit on REVOLVE I knew this was THE piece. Rose gold sequins?! YEP! This jumpsuit would be PERFECT for spring weddings and let’s just hope it still fits in May when my turn to be a wedding guest rolls around.
Some favorite spots to shop for “fancy” pieces
BLACK ~
You can never go wrong with a little black dress. Or a long black dress. Or a black midi dress. Black is classic and the perfect basis to be able to accessorize your shoot! We loved using these balloons from our friend Dierdre in the shoot to share our baby girl colors to accent our simple looks.
To be honest, I have never really been one for anything form fitting. If you told me I would wear this dress in a shoot, EVER, a year ago, I would have told you that you were crazy. Then I started growing a human and gained a greater love for my body. That’s a sentiment for another post, but just wanted to say, a simple, sleek, sexy LBD is perfect for photos.
Affordable options for black dresses >>
Luckily, there are so many great options for GREAT maternity clothes out there! Clothes that make you feel good while your body is changing. A lot of these places have options for things to wear before, during and after pregnancy so they won’t just get thrown out after the baby comes.
One of my favorite options is Pink Blush Maternity. This sweater dress is a staple from there and I just love how it hugs you in all the right places. They have soooo many beautiful and affordable pieces and I will be sharing more throughout my pregancy!
If you want to spend a little more on a quality piece that you will wear over and over again before, during and after pregnancy – check out Hatch Collection. I wore one of their beautiful dresses in maternity photos and I still have it and am taking it to Bali!
