Kailua Kona Portraits: A Colorful Idea

Who needs the beach when you have Ali’i drive?

While many people choose to have their portrait shoot at a beach or a resort, we chose to do Liwia’s portraits right in Kailua town, making use of the backdrops of the fun shops and buildings (as well as the nearby beach). It’s a great meet-up for some portraits (and then have dinner at one of the many locations along Ali’i drive, like Kai, Huggo’s or the more casual Huggos On The Rocks). Grab a shaved ice (we’re famous for them here) and take some photos! We can also walk out to the pier in order to capture Kailua town behind you. It’s a great portrait venue, and so much fun! 

Liwia made my job easy. As both a model and a photographer, she knows what looks good! She is a bright light, both on the inside and the outside. She’s an absolute joy to hang out with, and her bubbly personality brings fun to every situation. We wandered around, looking for good light, unique angles, vibrant colors and interesting backdrops. Which ones do you like best, the bright and colorful ones featuring the buildings and town, or the beach shots?
