FunkyHulaGurl Photography

FunkyHulaGurl Photography is a Kailua-Kona-area newborn photographer. Based in Captain Cook, just south of Kailua-Kona, she works mainly with families, couples, and events across the Kona side of the Big Island, and her client list includes newborn sessions worked into a family's broader portrait day rather than offered as a separate studio product.

Her portfolio favors natural light and real island backdrops over posed studio setups, which fits her description of herself as an island girl who loves documenting the people around her.

Because she does not run a large studio operation, appointments tend to move around her own schedule, so families looking for a newborn session with her should expect a more personal, one-on-one booking process than a big commercial studio.

FunkyHulaGurl Photography ranks No. 3 for newborn photography among the Kailua-Kona studios we reviewed for 2026. They average 5.0 stars from 3 Google reviews. Rankings are earned through research and can't be bought.

No, Nohea works on location around Captain Cook and the greater Kona area rather than out of a dedicated studio, which is part of why sessions are booked directly with her rather than through a storefront.

Alongside newborn and baby sessions, she photographs families, couples, and local events, and has done pop-up sessions at small businesses around Captain Cook and Kealakekua.

She is based in Captain Cook, a short drive south of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island, and serves clients throughout that part of the island.

Reviews consistently mention her flexibility and creativity, especially when working with young kids or babies who don't cooperate on schedule.
