1. Maternity Photoshoots: Embrace Elegance and Comfort When choosing a gown for a maternity photoshoot, comfort should be your top priority. Look for gowns made from soft, stretchy fabrics that gracefully drape over your curves. Empire waist gowns are a popular choice as they sit comfortably above the belly and emphasize the silhouette. Opt for solid colors or subtle patterns to keep the focus on your beautiful bump. At Obsidian + Blush, our maternity gown collection is designed to make you feel comfortable and stunning as you document this special time.

2. Bridal Photoshoots: Capture Timeless Romance Your bridal shoot is a chance to create lasting memories in a fabulous dress. Whether you're after something traditional or a more modern look, choose a gown that reflects your personal bridal style, or a timeless getting ready look with a luxe robe. Consider classic elements like tulle, feathers, and satin, which photograph beautifully and add a touch of sophistication. Don't shy away from dramatic trains and intricate detailing, which can add depth and interest to your photos. Our bridal gowns and robe selection offers a variety of styles to ensure every bride shines on her special day.

3. Fashion Photoshoots: Bold and Expressive Fashion photoshoots are your opportunity to experiment with high fashion and bold statements. Look for unique textures, avant-garde styles, and eye-catching details that will make your photos stand out. Don’t be afraid to play with asymmetry, mixed materials, and vibrant colors. Obsidian + Blush features a range of fashion-forward gowns that can help you make a statement, whether you're looking to convey elegance or edginess.

4. Family Portraits: Cohesive and Timeless For family portraits, the key is to coordinate without being overly matchy-matchy. Choose gowns that complement the color scheme of the entire group’s outfits. Flowing gowns in neutral or pastel shades work well and can help create a cohesive look without overpowering the group dynamic. Lightweight, non-restrictive fabrics will ensure that everyone is comfortable and looks relaxed in the photos. Our family-friendly gown collections are perfect for creating beautiful, harmonious family portraits.
