Photoshoot Dresses For Moms

shopping for that perfect dress

It’s time to decide what to wear family pictures! After you schedule your family photos, pick your outfit FIRST, mama! Remember, there is no such thing as “too dressy” for a portrait session. Now is your time to get in front of the camera with your kiddos, so treat yourself to a dress you love! Then coordinate everyone else's outfits around yours.

Today I’m sharing some of my all time favorite photoshoot dresses for moms! To make it easy for you, I’m linking some favorite dresses from easy to shop at places like H&M, Norstrom, Old Navy, Macys, Pink Blush Maternity, and Abercrombie. I also love shopping at online boutiques like Fhrnvi. If you are all about the convenience of Amazon Prime, I also have a list of my favorite Amazon dresses linked right here. I love long dresses and skirts for mothers because they can create movement in a photograph, such as blowing in the wind or twirling around! Dressy photos always stand out amongst those who go the more casual route and they are flattering on every body type. I also always suggest long dresses over short dresses because you may be running around at a park or sitting on the ground with your kiddos.

You will notice that many of my favorites are soft or neutral toned colors. I also love simple floral prints and high wasted skirts. I want the dress to add dimension and detail to your photoshoot, but not steal the show. I want the focus to be on your family’s beautiful faces and the connection you share with one another. I know mom life is SO BUSY so I’ve linked a my favorite photoshoot dresses for moms from so you can easily check that task off your to do list! Whether you have a family photoshoot planned with me or another photographer, I hope this helps you get started with dress ideas!
