Kona, HI photographer recommendations

->> Can somebody here recommend a good journalistic style photographer in Kona? My daughter and her mother are visiting Kona this week and are wanting a photographer to come with them for a day capturing their travels. They will be zip lining one day and touring the volcano's another. We're also wanting portraits one evening at their hotel beach. Wanting to pay a day rate with CD in exchange.
I know it's short notice, but rather have input here then blindly posting an ad in the classifieds. |

->> I already tried that, but my ex's husband didn't think too much of it.
I found one on the recommendation of DMN's Louis DeLuca. Bob Brown based in Kona.
Thanks to everyone that sent me emails with recs. |

| ->> Bob's closer to where they'll probably be. I'm living on the other side of the island now, a 100+ mile drive from Kona. I did some work there this past weekend, about a 2.75 hour drive to get there from where I live. Not so small of an island :) |

->> Thanks Mark. I have a call in for Baron, most of their activities are planned on the Hilo side. We plan on having Bob do their portraits at their hotel beach on the Kona side too.
Great resources here on SS, got my money's worth by not hiring Liddy for the job. |

->> Thanks guys....Bob's doing a photo-shoot with my daughter this evening at their Hotel on the Big Isle. Can't wait to see the images....I'll post a link back here when they're done.
I talked with Baron also, but we just couldn't work out the times when they were going to be on the Hilo side. He's a great guy too. |

->> I got a lot of emails and recommendations here for Bob Brown on the big isle and thought I'd post a link to some of my favorites from Bob's shoot with my daughter. If you ever need a photographer on the Kona side of the Big Isle look no further than Bob.
Thanks for sending me his way!
