Soft Curls

Soft Curls exude a timeless and effortlessly elegant vibe, making them an ideal choice for maternity photoshoots, which is why most of my clients choose to go this route.. This hairstyle adds a touch of romance to your look, framing your face with gentle, cascading waves. Soft waves work well with any length of hair and complement a variety of outfits, from flowing dresses to snug maternity gowns.

Romantic Updo

For a more polished and sophisticated appearance, consider a romantic updo. This hairstyle can range from a loose, tousled bun to an intricate braided updo. An updo not only draws attention to your face but also creates a sense of refinement and grace. It's perfect for showcasing statement earrings or a delicate neckline.

Half-Up, Half-Down

The half-up, half-down hairstyle strikes a balance between sophistication and ease. This style is particularly flattering as it keeps hair away from the face while allowing some strands to frame it delicately. Add some loose curls or waves to the cascading section for a soft and feminine touch.

This client was particularly unique in that we started the shoot half-up, half down, transitioned to gathered on one side, and then again to cute sporty updo.

When this client showed up on shoot day with this hair cut, my heart skipped a beat. I was beyond elated to shoot such a gorgeous cut, and let me tell you, it did not fail to deliver… if you are already in the mood for something unique and feel like its time to switch things up, maybe right before your maternity shoot is the best time.

Natural and Flowing

Embrace your natural texture and let your hair flow freely for a relaxed and authentic look. Whether you have curly, wavy, or straight hair, letting it fall naturally can create a beautifully candid and effortless appearance. This style is perfect for capturing the genuine joy and excitement of motherhood.

No matter which hairstyle you choose for your maternity photoshoot, the key is to feel comfortable and beautiful. Consider your personal style, the theme of the photoshoot, and the type of clothing you'll be wearing when selecting your hairstyle. Ultimately, these hairstyles are not just about looking good but about capturing the essence of this special time in your life. Choose a hairstyle that reflects your personality and enhances the natural beauty that comes with the journey into motherhood.
