Why Should You Rent a Maternity Gown? (Hint: Amazon Maternity Gowns Do NOT Photograph or Fit Right)
By Two Wild Souls Photography | Michigan Maternity Photographer
The top reasons to rent is because most of the gowns that you really want for gorgeous maternity photos are $500 or more. Renting can be your gateway into a beautiful gown for a fraction of the price. The only problem left is finding a photographer that can execute your vision!
We know the tricks too mama! Buy from Amazon and return it when you’re done with your maternity shoot and get a free “rental”. It sounds too good to be true, and that is because it is. Amazon dresses are enticing, but we have tried most of them and you can visibly tell the difference between a properly fitting maternity gown and an amazon dress. The only dresses you might be able to get away with are skintight fabric dresses. All the poofy gowns stay far away from!!
We have a maternity gown wardrobe of 40+ gowns. The best part? They are FREE to use when you book us for your maternity photoshoot. We also include hair & makeup, and we have in-studio + outdoor maternity photo options. Everything from simple to extravagant. Starting at $490 for a 1-hour session with Hair & Makeup + Gown access.
We have used many of these providers in the past, but we also sometimes need to get a gown for a client in a different size. We use ShopMom2B primarily, but we would recommend all of these providers!
