2. Natural Connection

Outdoor maternity sessions capture the bond between mother, baby, and nature. The open air, gentle movement, and flowy dresses make every image feel authentic and full of emotion.

3. Seasonal Beauty

Each season brings its own magic:

Spring: Blossoming orchards and wildflowers in Ogden Valley.

Summer: Warm golden fields and lush mountain greens.

Fall: Vibrant autumn leaves in Logan Canyon or Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Winter: Snowy mountain backdrops and cozy maternity wraps for a fairytale vibe.

When to Schedule Your Maternity Session

The ideal time to book your maternity photoshoot in Northern Utah is between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. Your belly will have a beautiful, round shape, but you’ll still be comfortable enough to move around and pose naturally.

It’s best to book your maternity photoshoot a month or two in advance, especially if you want prime seasonal dates (like peak fall color or summer wildflowers).What to

Wear for an Outdoor Maternity Session

Wardrobe can make or break the vibe of your photos! For the perfect outdoor look:

Choose flowy fabrics – Maxi dresses, chiffon skirts, or lace gowns create beautiful movement in outdoor light.

Stick to soft or earthy tones – Neutrals, pastels, rust, sage, and cream all photograph beautifully in Utah’s natural landscapes.

Coordinate, don’t match – If your partner or kids join, keep their outfits in complementary tones.

Barefoot or flats – Depending on the season and terrain, both can look amazing in your photos.

Your photographer may also offer a client wardrobe with maternity gowns, wraps, or accessories designed to flatter every shape.
