My favorite place on Maui is Iao Valley, within the valley lies beautiful lush mountains and the purest water, streaming down in a stream that flows between the tall peaks of the valley. These mountains are said to get more rainfall then Kauai even, making it one of the wettest places on earth. The cultural gardens where I photographed these maternity photos sit next to the stream in Iao Valley,  providing a great place for exotic lush backdrops. If you ever find yourself on Maui, I highly recommend visiting Iao valley, and give yourself some time to really explore the area.
