We can’t say enough good things about this session, from the genuine connection Julie and Erik shared to the amazing gowns Julie chose for her portraits! Julie rented a Kasia Kulenty gown from our client closet and also wore a gorgeous frock from Katharina Hakaj Couture! Thank you both for choosing Love + Water as […]

Lesley, who rented our Kasia Kulenty Selena gown in Rose for her Maui maternity portraits, looked absolutely amazing! She and Sean had an epic connection that was further enhanced by a signature Maui sunset. Thank you both for choosing us to photograph your maternity portraits, you two are going to make incredible parents!

We met Ashley and Liron at the beach in south Maui just before sunrise, and she had a change of attire halfway through the shoot to add more variety to her mini session! The second gown is our Selena rental gown in rose, she looked amazing in both and it was a pleasure to spend […]

Mahshid looked so beautiful during her and Michael’s sunset beach portraits in Wailea! The couple spent their babymoon on Maui and we photographed them at one of the most picturesque times of day. Sunset didn’t disappoint, and both of Mahshid’s dresses looked amazing – the perfect complement to the couple’s epic connection.

Sarah + Jeffrey joined us at the beach in Wailea just before sunset and Sarah looked absolutely beautiful, expecting the couples’ first child and enjoying some down time before welcoming their new family member.

Sunsets on Maui are spectacular at the best of times, but when your subjects are expecting parents, they become that much more special. We enjoyed this beautiful sunset with Valeria + Kody, expecting the arrival of their first child.

Angie and family are expecting baby #2! We met at the beach in Wailea for a sunset portrait session on an overcast afternoon that transformed into an epic sky at the end of our session. Last time we photographed their family was in 2019, and it was great to capture their continuing journey raising their […]

Caitlin + Paul’s sunrise babymoon portraits in Wailea were some of our first to shoot after resuming work, and the beautiful pop of pink in the sky that morning was the perfect way to start the day! Check out a few favorites from their Land + Sea Session below!

There’s something about a wide angle shot that captures the surrounding environment that gives us a lot of joy. And I know what that something is – the way sunset colors collide to form the most perfect tones. They wrap elegantly around our subjects and work with the sunlight to provide us with the most […]

We photographed this session for return clients at the beach at sunset, the first time was when Laura was pregnant with the little one you see running around in the photographs! It means a lot when clients return to us to capture their growing families, whether this be from couples to newlyweds, maternity clients to […]

In the past we’ve hesitated posting images with rich tones such as underwater portraits and after-sunset pics because I thought they made our feed look odd scattered amongst soft pastel tones. I’m learning to let go of the design aspect and realize we should be posting what we love, even if this includes a few […]

I looked at our daughter holding out a book for me to read to her before bed. She requested A Day at the Seashore, and thumbed through the pages pointing out her favorite things. “Ha-tt” – she said, pointing to the little girl’s sun hat. “Woof woof”, pointing to the dog on her favorite page. […]

It’s true, Ashley’s Maui babymoon portrait session with us was one of our last before we entered lockdown due to COVID-19. I edited this session with tears in my eyes, because closing this shoot means remembering so much. It makes me remember what I miss, what I took for granted. I miss carrying our 38 […]

Babymoons mean relaxation, and nothing goes better with a getaway for soon-to-be-three more than a sunset portrait session on the beach on Maui! Emilia + Praem, thank you for choosing us to photograph your babymoon portraits on Maui!

I know the feeling. The quiet between pregnancy and first time motherhood, the uncertainty and excitement. Sorting through onesies and sitting cross-legged on the bed, imagining a soft, sleepy baby cradled in your arms. You hum a song, the same one you’ve sung over and over in the shower as the water taps against your […]

Tyler + Zach’s session was a Love + Water dream. Their beautiful connection meshed effortlessly with the sunset on this gorgeous Maui afternoon. Thank you both for choosing us to photograph your Maui babymoon portraits – here are a few favorites from our shoot together!

The change of a family from one child to two is a beautiful time to remember – the anticipation, the excitement, it all blends in to one and it’s so important to capture this chapter in a family’s life. Laura joined us for a maternity session on Maui and of course their daughter came along, […]
