Maui couples portrait sessions are more than photos; they’re stories stitched together with love, laughter, and the kind of beauty only Hawaii can offer. For Mornida and Zach, visiting from Idaho, their Southside Beach session wasn’t just about documenting a moment; it was about celebrating a new chapter of their lives.
Married on Lanai in June 2021, these two already know the islands hold a piece of their story. But this was their first time on Maui, and it felt like the perfect place to mark a milestone: announcing their pregnancy. With three beloved dogs waiting at home and their first child arriving in March, this early babymoon became an adventure wrapped in anticipation and joy! We were beyond excited to share in the joy and their happy news through these photos…



Our photography style leans into authenticity, the quiet, genuine moments that speak louder than anything staged. Mornida and Zach embraced under the golden Maui light, their smiles both tender and excited, their connection effortless. It wasn’t about posing; it was about holding each other close and letting the ocean breeze do the rest.
Southside Beach gave them the dreamiest backdrop. The soft sand, rhythmic waves, and glowing September sunset framed each portrait with timeless beauty. Every image reflects their journey, from Lanai newlyweds to soon-to-be parents, capturing not just who they are now but who they’re becoming together. This wasn’t just a portrait session. It was a love letter to the past, the promise of the future, and the joy of now. They are so excited to meet their little one!














Congratulations, Mornida and Zach! We’re so honored to capture this chapter of your story and can’t wait for you to look back on these memories for years to come! We wish you all the best as you welcome your little one so soon!
