JACKIE KONTOES : NORTH SHORE HAWAII MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY

This last year I have been working on a project to create maternity and newborn phtography that is very nontraditional.  Jackie’s photoshoot pulled this style off.  In these pictures she is carrying twins.  Jackie does everything with unique style.  Our first stop was a small surf town on the North Shore of Oahu, Haleiwa.  We stoped at Matsimotos Shave Ice and I was joking around and said “Why don’t you ask them if you can make your own shaved ice?”  She walked right over to the counter with her beautiful smile and the rest of the story is in the pictures below.  The next stop was Waimea Bay.  As soon as we walked to the far side of the bay with all our gear, the river mouth opened, and 10 minutes later it was too murky to shoot.  So we packed up and headed to Sunset Beach where it was a bit more windy.   Jackie was a real trooper to get into that cold water, and a big shout out to her husband Chris for helping with all the dive gear.  This is an adventurous couple and we took advantage of that to snap some fun shots.

This first picture reminds me of an Anne Taintor Magnet.

  • About Hawaii Wedding Photography by Mark Holladay Lee

  • Aloha, I'm Mark Holladay Lee. I'm a husband, father, surfer and photographer. I didn't realize how much I would love being a professional photographer until I became a father while living in New York City. All the creative energy in that city combined with all the emotions of becoming a dad, lit up my passion with the camera. I was able to learn from some great photographers while living in the city, but my earliest learning with the art, goes back to childhood when I watched my mother work as a photographer. I remember how she crafted a darkroom in whatever house we lived in and decorated our home with pictures from our family travels. She gave me my first camera and first studio lights.

    Fast forward several years and here I am living in Hawaii with my family, enjoying every minute of combining my love of people with my love of creating art. I not only photograph people with studio lights, but I photograph in the ocean, from a helicopter, at the beach, in the mountains, and other incredible locations throughout Hawaii. I may sometimes act as a fly on the wall, documenting a moment as it naturally unfolds. Other times I may be actively posing a large group of people in a formal setting. Many times I am capturing life with my family, freezing memories that bring us so much joy to look back on. I would be honored to capture your memories with artistic images that I guarantee you will be thrilled with. I look forward to meeting you!
