There’s something so meaningful about photographing growing families in a space that’s truly theirs. As a Portland family maternity photographer, I had the joy of capturing this dreamy outdoor session right in their own backyard. With golden light, neutral-toned outfits, and genuine moments of connection, the whole session felt like a Pinterest dream come to life. It was the perfect way to celebrate the calm before their next big chapter.

What to Wear for a Pinterest-Worthy Maternity Session

This family nailed their outfits—soft neutrals and pieces that complemented each other without feeling too “matchy.” The overall look photographed beautifully against the lush greens of their backyard and added to the cozy, Pinterest-perfect vibe of the session.

If you’re planning your own maternity session, I always recommend starting with mom’s outfit first and building the rest of the family’s look around that. Think flowy dresses, natural fabrics, and tones that blend beautifully with the outdoors. I offer styling guidance to all my clients, and you can also explore my Pinterest board or request my curated outfit guide for more inspiration.

Including Toddlers or Babies in Maternity Photos

Bringing a little one into a maternity session adds so much heart. I always approach sessions with kids with flexibility, patience, and playfulness. We let them explore, take breaks when needed, and never force a pose. Some of the most meaningful moments come from those in-between giggles or quiet snuggles.
If you’re a growing family wondering how your toddler will do during a shoot—don’t worry. My goal is to create a space where everyone feels at ease, and where the story of your family in this season is captured with honesty and care.
