Let’s have a little refresher course on the bump shot! Last November we created a series all about capturing your best bump pic, starting with tips from a professional, our in-house photographer Bobby! Then, we helped with inspo on how to style your shoot, how to style yourself, and then how to bring it all to life. We decided to head to the studio to give the bump shot series a little summer makeover.

Using the same great tips, we suggest styling your shoot with natural light if possible, but if not, then get creative with props! Beach balls and glittery pool tubes certainly set the scene. There is no denying that the season is summer. Styling yourself is easy, because all of our maternity swimsuits are made to fit and flatter; they are ready to have their picture taken. The featured bathing suit is our polka dot halter two piece in navy and mint.

Are you finding out the gender this summer? The bump shot is always good for a reveal. We are in love with our selfie frame. With balloons and a matching pink maternity dress… it’s a girl AND it’s ready to be posted, liked, shared!

And for our final inspiration… when in doubt, add food! What rhymes with #preggo? Well, it isn’t waffle, but you catch our drift. Go with your cravings, then dress accordingly. Nothing is cuter than a graphic tee paired with maternity jean shorts. It’s #perfect!

Inspire us! Show us your summer bump shops. #thisisgoingtobefun @motherhoodmaternity
