Dramatic Tucson Maternity Photos

These dramatic tucson maternity photos were taken when the desert was the most green we have had in years thanks to the rain we had all summer! This couple came from out of state on a babymoon to Tucson and wanted to have photos to capture their soon-to-be parenthood and also the beauty of the Saguaro desert and sunset. The lust green color really made her dramatic Tucson maternity photos amazing especially with the red dress she chose to wore – it really popped! What I especially loved about the dress she chose to wear for her dramatic tucson maternity photos is that it really had a long train so, with help from my assistant, I was able to capture a fantastic train-toss that is commonly seen in more dramatic wedding day images with brides in their dresses or long veils. The same concept – and timing – applies when trying to get a similar effect with a maternity dress with a long train.

Every maternity session with Photography by Jacquelynn starts with a phone conversation to really narrow down the location, setting, details, time of day, and clothing. I actually have several dresses that can be borrowed for sessions (like this one) but I also have recommendations for where to shop for maternity dresses (like Sew Trendy). People also ask me about color of clothing. I often reply that almost any color looks good in maternity photos but for dramatic Tucson maternity photos you actually want the color to be bold and really stand out against the backdrop. The good news is that most colors do so, as the desert has a very neutral palette. And for the father-to-be or the partner, the color and clothing generally compliments what she is wearing. I always suggest complementary colors vs matching.
