Maternity Flower Tub

Third child, third maternity session, and Mama says she’s still so awkward in front of the camera. We beg to differ! The initial plan was to include the whole family at this session but then she decided to show up solo and simply let it be an hour of me-time. Mama owned this session, knocked it out of the park. We can’t wait to meet baby.

Oahu Maternity Tub Session

This isn’t mama’s first rodeo but it is her first GIRL. A flower tub served as a perfect way to celebrate baby’s impending arrival. Mom is glowing, baby is growing, and we can’t wait to hear when she joins her big brothers. Congrats!

Mahalo, Aloha Paradise Tub, for the beautiful outdoor studio.

A Tub in Paradise

I’m so excited to introduce a recent collaboration with Mai from Aloha Paradise Tub. When walking into her inviting space, you’re greeted with a welcoming smile and a warm bath that’s filled with beautiful and freshly-picked flowers. She makes you feel at home and does not overlook any detail, from THE most beautifully handcrafted lei po’o to a jamming (or soothing, if you choose) playlist to a pitcher of fruit-infused water. As my model steps into the tub, Mai helps so gently place each flower around her to make sure everything is picture-perfect.

Now, my model. She’s amazing, simply put. A natural. She will welcome her bundle of joy this month but she cut a deal with the nugget to make it through the photo session and then she’s welcome to arrive at any time. I’m happy to report that baby complied, so we wish mom and baby a happy, healthy, smooth entrance into the world any day now.

Thank you to Aloha Paradise Tub for this exciting opportunity. If you have any reason to celebrate—baby, birthday, anniversary, or just because—let’s create a tub session that’s perfect for you.
