What to Pack for a Gran Canaria Maternity or Family Photo Shoot?

May 23, 2025

Are you organising a maternity or family photo session in Gran Canaria’s breathtaking scenery? The way you dress can have a significant impact on the quality of your photos. The following easy advice will help you feel at ease and look your best during your session:

1. Use gentle, neutral hues Beige, white, light blue, or dusty pink are examples of soft tones that look great in natural light and complement the beaches, dunes, and mountain scenery of Gran Canaria. Neon colours and loud patterns can detract from your faces and emotions, so stay away from them.

2. Coordinate but do not match Choose a colour scheme of two to three complementary hues for family photos, and have everyone wear a different variation. Without making everyone look the same, this fosters harmony.

3. Comfort Is Everything Dress in comfortable clothing that doesn’t restrict your movement. Light, breathable fabrics are perfect for Gran Canaria’s warm climate, and flowy dresses are perfect for maternity photos.

4. Incorporate a Personal Touch To show off your personal style, add simple accessories like a scarf, hat, or jewellery. Maternity sessions can also benefit from the charming personal touch of props like tiny shoes or a baby ultrasound.

5. Shoes Are Important Walking on grass, rocks, or sand is common in Gran Canaria locations. Particularly for children, think about going barefoot or dressing comfortably in neutral shoes.
