A few extra tips
- Choose soft, flowing outfits in solid colors, since fitted fabric and simple tones flatter the bump better than busy patterns.
- Ask for the bump to be the clear focus, with hands cradling it, so the photo reads unmistakably as a maternity shot.
- Upload a photo that already shows your bump clearly, so Gemini keeps your real shape rather than guessing it.
