Melissa & Clay plus one ~ A babymoon shoot on Oahu

Anna Kim — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:04:00 +0000

Melissa and Clay were having their babymoon on Oahu last month, and my husband Elan and I had the pleasure of photographing the two of them. They are expecting their first baby soon and I couldn’t be more thrilled for them! We started at Turtle Bay, where they (and apparently Lindsey Lohan) were staying. The surf competition had just ended and the waves were calming down, but that did not stop a surfer and his dog from catching some waves (see photo below). We hopped in the car and drove towards Haleiwa, dodging the rain and stopping at a few different places that caught our eye (a Convalescent Home being one of them!). We finished the photo shoot at Shark Pit, just as the sun was setting.

Melissa and Clay, you are going to be phenomenal parents! Thank you for the laughs, drinks and good conversation. Now if only I can find a three wolf moon onsie….

Vive la Vida!

During my last trip to the mainland, I had the pleasure of stopping in San Diego to meet Rana & Brandon’s daughter Vida for the first time. Vida has a lot of spunk for such a little girl. Not only is she playful but she’s also vocally gifted–move over Mariah Carey! There is a sparkle in her eyes, especially when she is being coy in front of the camera and her smile could melt anyone’s heart.

I always knew Rana was going to be a nurturing mother and I couldn’t be happier to see her slip into the role of motherhood so gracefully. Happy 6 months, Vida!

Baby Sydney (aka: Squeaky)

Nova & Kevin welcomed Squeaky into the world on January 23rd, 2010. This little girl is a real doll with a sweet disposition. These pictures were taken on a whim; our first official baby Squeaky shoot is coming up, so stay tuned. Here are some candid photographs of one of my favorite babies on Maui!

This was taken the first day home from the hospital. Baby Squeaky was noticing her fingers are long. And check out her immediate reaction. Classic!

Baby Makoa

Our friends Courtney and Jay welcomed their baby boy Makoa into the world on December 23rd. I couldn’t think of a better Christmas gift than this bundle of joy. Shortly after the birth, I went over to their home to meet him. Baby Makoa is such a little cutie-pie! While I was snapping away, he just stared into the camera, perhaps intrigued by the sound of the shutter. When I moved him around, he didn’t mind a bit. Watching Courtney cuddle and shower him with love was especially sweet to witness. I know she’s going to be a fantastic mother. This boy is super cute, with big blue eyes and big lips to match. I can definitely see his baby modeling career taking off!

WanYu had her baby! Elizabeth Nicole Kayes was born on December 15th, 2009 at Maui Memorial, weighing a healthy 6lbs 9oz. She is tiny, delicate and cute as a button. Congratulations WanYu & Andrew!

Here are some pictures of baby Nikki’s 2nd day in the world. It was so sweet to photograph this girl.

A pea in the pod ~ Mama’s Fish House beach, Maui

Meet my sweet friend Nova. She’s 8 months pregnant and the baby is due on January 10th. This will be their second child and she and her husband Kevin are thrilled that they are expecting a girl this time! Nova stands just under 5 feet tall, but don’t let that fool you, what she lacks in height she makes up in spunk & personality. She is goofy, tells outrageous stories and she always has a big smile on her face. Always. Every time I hang out with this girl, there is always someone who comes up to her to tell her that she’s glowing. It’s true, she does glow. And she makes being pregnant look beautiful. Last Wednesday I had the great pleasure of photographing her in Kuau and at Mama’s Fish House beach.
