Happy Aloha Friday Friends,

There are Hawaiian evenings that feel almost unreal, and Cathy & Teddy’s sunset maternity session at Ka’a’awa Beach was one of them. With soft golden light, gentle waves, and those iconic Koʻolau mountains standing in the distance, everything aligned to celebrate this moment in their lives with warmth, intimacy, and joy.

They arrived ready to embrace the experience — not just for the photographs, but for the memory of doing something beautiful together before meeting their baby.

Effortless Connection & Chemistry

Some couples have a natural rhythm, and Cathy & Teddy were exactly that.

From the first pose, their connection was easy — playful, affectionate, and deeply loving.

There was an undeniable sensuality in the way they held each other:

• soft hands resting on Cathy’s belly
• kisses that turned into laughter
• the kind of body language that says “we’re in this together”

As a maternity photographer in Hawai‘i, I love sessions that honor pregnancy not just as a milestone — but as a story of partnership, intimacy, and transformation.

Golden Hour Glow at Ka’a’awa Beach

Ka’a’awa Beach comes alive at golden hour.

The light turns warm and cinematic, the water glows, and the mountains soften into silhouette — creating a breathtaking backdrop for editorial-style maternity photos.

Cathy was radiant in every sense — confident, feminine, and powerful — while Teddy held her with a tenderness that felt grounding and safe.

Together, they created moments that were:

• romantic
• emotional
• unposed in the best way

The kind of images that feel like real memories, not just photographs.

Ending the Session in the Ocean

As the sun dipped behind the ridges, we ended the session the best way possible — in the ocean.

Barefoot and laughing, they walked into the waves, clothes soaked and hair undone, completely present in the moment.

There was no hesitation — just freedom, connection, and joy.

Saltwater, sandy kisses, soft light on skin — sensual, cinematic, and unforgettable.

These are the photos that feel alive — full of movement, intimacy, and personality.
