As the winter chill sets in and the festive spirit fills the air, there’s no better time to capture the beauty of pregnancy with a holiday-inspired outdoor maternity session. Picture this scene: a serene evergreen landscape and a radiant mom-to-be in a stunning red maternity dress from our client closet. This is the magic that winter brings, and it’s the perfect backdrop for celebrating new beginnings.

The Perfect Dress for the Occasion

One of the standout elements of a holiday-inspired outdoor maternity shoot is the choice of wardrobe. A red maternity dress from our client closet not only embodies the warmth and joy of the season but also creates a striking contrast against the cool winter backdrop. The flowing fabric beautifully accentuates this clients perfect baby bump, making for gorgeous, timeless images.

Capturing the Outdoor Maternity Session Magic of Winter

Winter provides a unique charm that can’t be replicated in any other season. The crisp air, bare deciduous mixed with dark green evergreen trees, and soft light create an ethereal atmosphere that enhances the beauty of a maternity session. Think of the beautiful glow of golden hour sunlight filtering through the trees.

This couple opted for a lovely area with tall grasses mixed with evergreens but that isn’t the only holiday option.  To set the alternative scene, we can also choose picturesque locations that reflect the spirit of the holidays. Perhaps a park adorned with festive decorations, downtown trees filled with lights, or a cozy outdoor setting that captures the essence of the season. Each backdrop adds a touch of wonder and warmth to the session.


Styling for the Holidays

When it comes to styling your session for the holiday you can go as glam or classic as you want.  In addition to the beautiful red dress, holiday-inspired accessories can elevate the session. I have a ton of great dresses in the client closet that are sure to inspire your session.  In addition, you can consider adding a cozy shawl, a chunky knit scarf, or even a festive floral crown featuring seasonal greenery and berries. These elements not only enhance the look but also provide comfort during the chilly outdoor session. Your style can really shine.

Partnering with your significant other adds another layer of joy to the photos. Coordinating outfits—perhaps with subtle red accents or complementary neutral colors—can create a harmonious and cohesive look in your images, making the love and anticipation palpable.

Why Book a Holiday-Inspired Maternity Session?

Unique Aesthetic: Winter offers a different vibe than traditional outdoor sessions, and allows for creative and memorable photos.

Timely Keepsakes: A bonus to Holiday-inspired outdoor maternity photos. You will not only capture the magic of this time of life; but also make for perfect seasonal cards, announcements, or keepsakes to cherish for years to come.
