Tropical Maternity Session on Kauai in Hawaii | Danielle

It was such an honor to get to photograph Danielle not only during her pregnancy, but on the beautiful island of Kauai, Hawaii. We decided to do her maternity session by the ocean, well, since it’s Hawaii, but it’s also the place she feels the most at home. The little bundle of joy she is pregnant with in the first half of these photos, is later named Makai, meaning “toward the sea”, which is exactly what Danielle did the entirety of her pregnancy.

I have known Danielle and her family since elementary school, and when they relocated to Hawaii I have been lucky enough to visit several times. Although I can say it is never enough, as time doesn’t stop and baby Makai is definitely no longer a baby, but an excitable, and energetic young boy.
