Bacino Family

Last Saturday was so crazy.  We did at least 85 studio shoots in a 4 hour time span.  We then ran off to the beach for a sunset shoot with some good friends of the family.  On their way to the shoot, they got into a car accident.  I thought sure there would not be enough light by the time they got to the beach, but I am happy to say I was wrong.  It was a gorgeous evening and the huge waves really made the beach look magical!  That, and the unbelievably beautiful lighting!  I love these reflection shots!  Hope you enjoy!

Laguna Beach- Family Session

The weather has been so crazy this year, it has been tough to get a beach shoot in on a nice day.  We try to schedule this over about a 4 week period and it just kept being terrible weather.  Finally, this family agreed to go ahead and shoot on an overcast day!  I am so glad we did, because I really like clouds and a little gloom in this location!  These guys were so great and really up for doing anything we requested.  Even though it was cloudy, the water and air temperature was really nice and warm.  Directly after the shoot, they grabbed their skimboards and hit the waves!  Thanks so much to the family for working with me!  Enjoy!

Laguna Beach- In Home photography Session

I love photographing people in their own personal space.  Families just seem more comfortable when they are under their own roof.  This family just recently moved to Laguna Beach and I am fortunate to call them friends.  Last year at the School Power Gala, they purchased a gift certificate for Blue Sky’s Studio.  Initially we were planning to head straight down to the beach, but upon chatting with the family, we decided to start the session in their beautiful new home.  Four kids is usually quite a challenge to photograph, but these guys were fabulous to work with (even if I had trouble getting the 12 year old to smile.  I love his GQ/ attitude look anyway).  Their oldest brother isn’t really a kid!  He was an awesome help and you can tell his younger siblings just adore him.  Thank you for trusting me with your first photo session as full time residence of Laguna Beach!  Enjoy!

Laguna Beach- Fun Fashion Shoot

Every once in a while I photograph a child that was born to model.   This beauty definitely has Ford Modeling potential.  We started just a little slow so she could warm up to me, but by the end of the shoot, she was all smiles and new poses!  In fact, she didn’t want to leave the beach!  I think she is gorgeous and was a pleasure to work with!  Here are some of my favorite images from her shoot!

Laguna Beach- Abrahams Family

Many of you know Suzi from The Perfect Impression (click to see her website) and that we work together on promotions and her catalog shots.  These images are of her beautiful family.  We rushed down to the beach, as it was getting dark, but we were still able to get some beautiful shots of her whole family.  Her girls are just gorgeous, and very, very giggly!  I love the outfits they choose for this shoot.  The dresses are so “hip” without being too trendy.  Thanks for being patient Suzi!  Enjoy!
