Let me preface this list of the best Amazon swimsuits for moms by making one thing clear… Motherhood should not put the brakes on personal style. While modesty is certainly a mom-friendly attitude we can all aspire to, this is not a round-up of suits your grandmother would wear.

Life moves at warp speed, doesn’t it? We blink and the seasons have changed. In an instant, our tiny tots are not so tiny any more. Thankfully, you took the plunge. You found a photographer to help you savor those precious family moments. You’re ready to freeze time and create an image you’ll cherish. There’s just one problem… What do you wear?
