HEATHER, DREW, & WYATT : HAWAII MATERNITY / FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

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.

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.
