Sunrise Mama // Desert Maternity Film

Las Vegas Maternity Videographers

This morning with Kolleen was a dream. We all met up before the sunrise at Dunkin' Doughnuts before heading out to the trailhead. We wanted to really contrast the white velvet dress against the red rocks at Calico Basin, which is a super gorgeous little pocket of red rocks outside of Las Vegas. This area is super popular for hiking and rock-climbing, and now for all of our photo sessions! From engagements to elopements, this spot has so many different looks, and is perfect for those who don’t want to hike too far, since it’s only about a five minute walk from the parking lot to where we are in these shots. But if someone else wants to really get far off the trail, you can boulder up and little ways and really find a nice secluded spot tucked into some beautiful red rocks.

Her dress was from Flutter Dresses, and we loved it so much we ended up buying one of our own so that any of our mama-to-be clients have the option to rent it from us if they want that gorgeous #boho styled look, without having to spend the money on a dress they might wear one or two times, and it has been so worth it. The hat Kolleen is wearing is from Lack of Color, Australia, and is a perfect pair with the long white dress she has on. One of my favorite props for any kind of photoshoot to really give it that gorgeous boho feel is adding a brimmed hat to it, and the white lace dress doesn’t hurt either. We can’t wait to take more maternity pictures in Las Vegas this year.

This film was shot on our new phantom 4 #drone, which turned out to be a HUGE upgrade from our Mavic-pro. Organically this was the drone we wanted, but then it was discontinued for a while, and we were lucky enough to be one of the first to get the new version early this year! This drone footage in this short film speaks for itself, and is perfect for all of our wedding videos in Las Vegas that we have lined up for the next year!

Boho Desert Maternity Photography

Here are some of the amazing photos we captured on this beautiful morning, shot on both film and digital photography. We loved this morning, and this dress! One of the reasons we love what we do is that we get to do it together. Hayway films is a Las Vegas wedding photography and videography team, where Haley captures most of the photos, while Bryen captures most of the video, and when we are working on something more intimate like a maternity shoot or an elopement, our team of two is just enough! We are always working together to pose, direct, and capture some amazing moments for our clients, all the while making them laugh and having tons of fun!

Boho Maternity Pictures at Valley of Fire \\ Kolleen's Maternity Session

Kolleen is due with her first baby boy in May, but we decided that we needed to photograph her growing body twice because who could pass up taking pictures in this amazing white lace dress we rented?? I mean these pictures speak for themselves, and we had so much fun taking them. We got out there at 6am before the sun & before the crowds of hikers and rock-climbers. It was such a beautiful overcast morning, and the photos did not disappoint!

I loved getting to capture these photos for her. Her long white dress had such a beautiful train and was so #boho and perfect for our desert shoot out in the desert. And when you think of desert spots outside of #lasvegas there are soo many, but #valleyoffire is one of my favorite that comes to mind! This spot is popular for many Las Vegas elopement photos, intimate weddings, and even gorgeous engagement photos. There are so many different looks that this spot provides, from glowing red rocks, stripped cliffs, and gorgeous desert flora.

We captured this session on both film and digital photography, and Bryen made such an amazing video from this session! It seriously has to be one of my favorite films we have created because we were able to really tell a whole story and show the beauty of pregnancy.

We recently just bought one of these dresses to be able to provide for all our maternity shoots, so that if a mama-to-be wants to wear a dress like this, it is available for them so they can have the maternity shoot of their dreams!

And if you want to check out the amazing little short film we made of her, make sure to give it a watch if you want to see some amazing drone footage!

I mean just look at this first picture of her up on the cliff! The way the dress flows over the side and the lace sleeves fall off her arms... I just love this look! The sunrise was beautiful, full of pastels and just the cherry on top of the beautiful morning that added to make these photos even better!

It took us so many tries to get this shot! I just kept saying another, another, another, making her throw the train back over and over again, but it was so worth it when we finally got the perfect shot! We didn't have any wind on this morning, so it was necessary to do some throwing of the dress on our own to really add depth and movement into the photograph.

XOXO,
