Fall isn’t just sweater weather—it’s fashion season. The September issues are out, runways are alive with bold new styles, and inspiration is everywhere. For moms-to-be, it’s the perfect moment to channel that energy into maternity portraits that feel less like snapshots and more like editorial art.
At Ana Lanier Portrait Studio, I curate a full wardrobe designed to reflect what’s trending now while still feeling timeless. You don’t have to shop, stress, or wonder what will photograph beautifully—it’s all waiting for you in the studio. Let’s take a look at a few of fall 2025’s biggest fashion trends and how they translate seamlessly into maternity photography.
Jewel Tones & Moody Palettes
Think emerald, sapphire, amethyst, and plum. These deep, rich hues are everywhere this season, and they look incredible on expecting mothers. Jewel tones bring out a glow in your skin while creating striking contrast against dark or dramatic backdrops.
In the studio, gowns in these palettes add sophistication and depth, giving your portraits that editorial, high-fashion edge.
Statement Sleeves & Draped Fabrics
Designers this fall are embracing volume—billowy sleeves, sculptural shoulders, and flowing drapery. Luckily, that’s a language I speak fluently. My signature fabric tossing and draping setups capture the same movement and drama seen on the runways.
These shapes create unforgettable silhouettes, wrapping your maternity story in elegance and motion.
Metallics & Texture Play
Sequins, shimmer, and gold accents are showing up in everything from accessories to gowns. Metallics photograph beautifully, catching the light in ways that feel both glamorous and modern.
With my curated accessory collection—belts, crowns, jewelry—you can incorporate just the right amount of shine to elevate your look without overpowering it. It’s all about balance, refinement, and a touch of sparkle.
The Timeless Black Dress (With a Twist)
Every season, black makes its return—but this fall, it’s been reinvented with sheer layers, cutouts, and bold silhouettes. The black gowns in my studio wardrobe bring that same sophistication. They’re sleek, powerful, and effortlessly chic.
Styled with gloves, a dramatic hat, or bold gold accessories, the classic black dress transforms into a statement-making editorial look that never goes out of style.
