The strong traditions and culture of Kailua-Kona (the Big Island of Hawaii) are only matched by its breathtaking seaside views. I joined this expecting couple (Mark and Ana) for a maternity shoot on the shores of Kona, the same town where Mark was raised. The couple and I both live in California and they invited me to be their maternity destination photographer on their “babymoon” to a place that holds so much significance to them. It was a beautiful tribute to his childhood while capturing a new era of life on the horizon.
