1Alex Maternity Dresses on Etsy
When booking a boudoir shoot, maternity or otherwise, you have to consider the vibe you’re after. If it’s “hot mama,” then look out for this rhinestone bodysuit. Available from Etsy vendor Alex Maternity Dresses, this item is made of a mesh black fabric, the off-the-shoulder optional suit is covered in tiny crystals. Entirely sheer, this is a figure hugging option for those who really want to show off every curve. Just keep in mind, this is a one size only boudoir maternity lingerie garment so it might be a tight squeeze by the third trimester. But if you want something that’s unique, sparkly, and a little extra, check out this brand for sexy boudoir intimate options.
2Agneshka Maternity on Etsy
If stepping into a bodysuit sounds next to impossible right now, go with a gorgeous sheer nighty instead from Agneshka Maternity on Etsy. This gold knit dress is boudoir shoot-ready with its spaghetti straps and deep v-cut neckline. Of course, you don’t have to go with gold. This gown also comes in silver and black as well. The dress is designed to hit at the knee but opens to a wide slit on the right leg. But take it from a customer for the real scoop on this scoop neck: “This mesh maternity dress is fabulous and exactly what I wanted. I can’t wait to photograph it on my next client,” writes one Etsy shopper. It’s just one of the many boudoir maternity items available from Agneshka Maternity.
3Homespun Heart Props on Etsy
In boudoir photo shoots, less is more and that means that rather than a teddy or tiny nightgown, why not opt for what’s essentially a prop? Homespun Heart Props on Etsy has everything you need to amp up the drama in a boudoir maternity shoot. Take this cape. Jeweled and embellished with scallop detailing, this cape wraps around the neck and covers the breasts but little else. Made of polyester and sequins, it will be sure to make your sexy boudoir maternity shoot sparkle while the chiffon detail harkens back to 1920s flapper style. The wide neckline also allows the wearer to adjust it as they see necessary, be it off the shoulder or centered.

The pull on design makes it easy to access, but the detailing is the star of the show. Lace long sleeves connect to a wrap bodice that opens to reveal a bump between a long maxi-length skirt made of sheer fabric. Made extra long, the skirt has a significant train to add to the whimsy in a boudoir photo shoot.
6Beste Bebe
If when you think boudoir maternity photo shoots images of Beyonce as a queen come to mind, then get something similar to her Grammy’s glam look with products that make mama’s sparkle from Beste Bebe. Beyonce didn’t wear this high drama tulle blouse, for instance, but we think she’d approve. Covered in sequins, the sheer gray fabric drapes over the shoulders and cascades to just below the bump; it’s a statement piece to be sure. Butterfly sleeves add some additional coverage and sparkle as well. But if you want to explore other unique boudoir maternity intimates, Beste Bebe has some, from bodysuits to sexy nightgowns.

If that doesn’t suit you, take a look at this Walmart sheer maxi dress that’s a steal for a $14.99. It ties with a lovely long lacy bow above a bump and features pretty lace detailing on the chest. Long sheer sleeves also compliment the design.
