Tami, maternity photographer in Barcelona

Hi, I'm Tami

I've been photographing pregnancies in Barcelona for 7 years, and there's one question I hear at every booking, always the same one: "so what do I wear?".

That's why I made this guide. No unreachable lookbooks here: these are pieces from Zara, Mango, ASOS, H&M and other easy-to-find brands, with direct links and prices. Clothes you can buy today, wear tomorrow and keep wearing after.

Collections change every season, so I keep the guide updated — what you see here, you can buy right now.

Let's start

The question you ask me at every session

"What do I wear?" — here are my answers.

My 3 go-to picks

Three outfits for a full session

For a full session I ask you to bring three outfits. This combination works in the studio, outdoors and for almost any woman.

01

Casual

Jeans or light trousers, a white shirt or top, pretty underwear. The kind that never goes out of style and keeps you and your bump the stars.

02

Dress or set

Top + skirt. More feminine, more flowing. This is where I bring in fabrics, sheer textures and colour.

03

Suit

A suit looks incredible on a pregnant body — the structure contrasts with the curves — bold and completely you. If it's not your thing, swap it for textured fabrics: knit, linen, silk.

I show next season's looks on Instagram first. Follow along so you don't miss out.
