Popular Floral Maternity Theme with a Twist
Every maternity session tells a unique story, and this recent one was no exception. I tend to stay away from trends because I love creating my sessions based on moms and their likes. But sometimes, an inspiration can still lead to a unique, creative piece and this one did just that. During this mom’s consultation, her number one look was the popular “flower bra” we’ve been seeing all over social media. I remember cringing on her call as she stressed how important it was to her to have this look. Instead of shooting down the idea, I saw this an opportunity to create something that would be truly unique and special for her. Taking her inspiration, I decided to go beyond creating just a floral bra top and created a complete floral themed set with monochromatic colors in the flowers and draped fabric to ensure her and her husband would pop amongst the flowers in their dreams.
The results?
BREATHTAKING!
Designing the Dreamy Floral Set
To bring this vision to life, I reviewed my stash of flowers to see what I had that would go well with jeans. I knew that was the layering piece and found these flowers. Some monochromatic and others served as pops of color to break things up so they had some depth to the images. I quickly changed my small studio space to a floral oasis! For added effect, I decided to use my ladder I had, and drape the flowers on it, adding an additional layer into the frame so it didn’t feel empty when photographed. I decided to use a canvas backdrop because of how well it photographs and also it’s sturdiness, adding to the session for this mom. The result was a space that felt serene, organic, and full of life — just like her growing family.
The “Flower Bra” Look
The “flower bra” look has become a favorite among expecting moms and women alike, since last year and for very good reason. It’s feminine, artistic, and celebrates the beauty of women including pregnancy in a unique way. For this session, I wanted to make sure that the flowers used highlighted her glow but also complimented my chic and bold style. The combination of soft petals and earthy tones with the lighting against her skin created a harmonious look that felt both intimate and empowering.
Capturing the Moment
Throughout the session, we focused on celebrating the connection between mom and baby. Her peaceful expression, coupled with the gentle embrace of the flowers, exuded a sense of calm and anticipation. Each pose was crafted to emphasize her silhouette, showcasing the beauty of her pregnancy journey. The ladder added dimension and depth to the set, while the floral elements tied everything together in a cohesive narrative. This set up also made a beautiful family portrait as we had Dad join in on the photos to further show the celebration for the couple as they welcome their bundle of joy.
