Jamie Watson of  Pineapple Luv featured Ashley’s surf maternity shoot and highlighted some of the underwater maternity pictures also.  You can check it out on her  blog it is a cool tribute to surf and surf art.  Thanks Jamie.

Here are a few more photos from my surf/underwater maternity session with Ashley.  I still can’t believe she was able to paddle.  I remember her saying, “How do those guys with beer guts do it?”

Had a fun time photographing Ashley surfing yesterday, 6 month pregnant and still charging.  This will be her 3rd girl and she is already surfing.   Will post more photos of this session in about a week or so, but this one garbbed me as I was downloading them. The colors were amazing yesterday.

While photographing a wedding in northern California last fall I meet Angela and Domi.  They are also wedding photographers and work between Hawaii and Canada.   You’ve got to check out their photo booth at www.photoboothhawaii.com, I wish I had one of these at my wedding.  Well I had a lot of fun taking their maternity pictures, and I was so excited when they wanted to go in the water.  We stopped at a few different beaches on the north shore of Oahu and even ended up getting in the surf at Waimea bay.

It has been a little busy this last year and I have only had time to post about half of my shoots. My next two post are of the underwater  maternity and new born shoot with the Speed family on the North Shore. I had a lot of fun photographing Katie in the water, she showed up with this really cool 50′s style swim suit.  I love the way the pink pops out in the teal water.  Keep a look out Friday I will be posting baby Eliza’s new born pictures.

Some of you may remember when I photographed Heather and Drew’s wedding last year on the North Shore.  Here are a few pictures from our recent maternity / family shoot last month.  It is fun as a photographer to watch as families grow.  I am excited to do their newborn pictures in about 5 weeks.  The underwater maternity photographs were taken at Sharks Cove and we shot the other family pictures at Keiki Beach.  I really have fun shooting in the ocean, and love using water and light to create some cool images.

On Saturday I was able to squeeze in a maternity shoot with Jonna and Dan at Velzy Land on the North Shore.  The ambiance made it a lot of fun,  we had perfect surf to watch as the sun was setting and I think Pacific Vibrations was playing live down the beach.  I look forward to shooting their newborn pictures next month.  Good luck Jonna and Dan!
