What to wear for your Denver Maternity Photos when it’s cold outside!

Denver,CO. maternity photos during the winter months can be absolutely breathtaking. Picture an pregnant mama with a snow-capped mountain backdrop — it’s truly magical. But with winter’s unpredictable weather, it’s essential to make sure you’re both comfortable and stylish for your session. Here are my top tips to keep you cozy and confident when it feels like it’s freezing outside.

1. Embrace Long-Sleeve Gowns with Layers

One of the best options for your winter pregnancy photos is a long-sleeve gown. These gowns not only look stunning but also allow you to wear leggings and boots underneath for extra warmth. All clients have access to my Client Closet full of maternity gowns in all styles. This way, you’ll stay cozy without sacrificing style. These gowns offer the elegance you’re looking for while keeping you comfortable in chilly Colorado temperatures.

2. Keep it Cozy During Those Denver Winters

If you prefer a more casual look, jeans paired with a chunky sweater and a coat are always a popular choice. This combination creates a timeless winter aesthetic and allows for easy movement during the session. Don’t forget to accessorize with a scarf or hat for added flair. This look is great if you see yourself hiking a bit up to a mountain location along the front range.

3. Layers Create the Perfect Touch for Your Maternity Photos

Layers are your best friend in winter! Consider adding chunky blankets, fur shrugs, mittens, or cardigans to your outfit. Not only do these items add texture and depth to your photos, but they also help keep you warm. Starting your session during the sunniest part of the day can also provide a little extra warmth.

4. Hand Warmers for Extra Comfort

Hand warmers can be a game-changer. Tuck them into your boots, bra, or anywhere else they can be hidden. They’ll keep you feeling toasty without showing up in your photos. Whether you live in the Denver and Northern Colorado areas and you are acclimated to our winter weather or you are here for a baby moon, the temperature really drops once the sun goes down.

5. Denver + Northern Colorado Locations

I carefully choose locations in Denver and Northern Colorado that provide quick access to your vehicle so you can warm up in between shots. We’ll work efficiently to capture all the moments we would during a summer session, ensuring you’re not left in the cold for too long.

6. Tips for Your Family and Kiddos During Your Pregnancy Photoshoot

If your family is joining the session, keeping the car running and warm is a lifesaver. Letting kids hop in and out to warm up can make a big difference. Layering is key here too — think long johns, thick tights for girls, pea coats, and scarves. These cozy layers not only keep everyone warm but also add to the wintery, cozy vibe of your photos.
