The holidays are a time for gratitude, love and plenty of celebrations and these feelings are even more magical when you’re expecting. If you’re excited to showcase your growing bump in a festive way, you can take some inspiration from other families' own winter wonderland shoots.
Think cozy outerwear, snow-dusted trees, and festive holiday décor — these are the essentials for capturing beautiful winter maternity moments.
Matching flannels
Mom and dad donned the same red and black flannel for their snowy maternity photoshoot. They paired their looks with black pants and white sneakers, and hopefully they snagged a similar outfit for baby to wear once they arrive!
Lots of snow and smiles

Winter wonderland
All eyes are on mom-to-be Brittany’s bump-accentuating ball gown. The elegance of the maternity look is the perfect complement to the snow-filled landscape behind the expecting parents.
Woodsy and wintry
This maternity photo shoot in northeastern Italy is just stunning, and we’re especially partial to the one featuring a log-covered backdrop. It’s rustic, whimsical and makes us want to book a trip to the beautiful mountains of Italy — ASAP.
