Laguna Fields- Graham Family

You would never believe it by looking at these beautiful images, but it was raining on us during this photo shoot.  Everyone was unbelievably good sports, to brave the weather and lots and lots of bugs.  I have to admit that the beautiful colors in these images would not be possible without a little bit of rain.

Many of you have received our newsletter about my involvement in InCourage Foundation.  Jeneen is on the Board of Directors with me and is just an awesome person.   AND, what about her boys????  Are they gorgeous or what.  Not only are they extremely handsome, but they are totally into hats (which most of you know is my obsession).   I love how sweet and innocent the boys are in these portraits.  You can definitely feel the love between all of the family members!  Enjoy!!

Laguna Beach- Family beach shoot

I always love it when I get the chance to photograph a family that I know personally.  This fabulous family is local to Laguna Beach!  Unfortunately, we did not have much beach to work with, because the tide was coming it, but we still managed to get some beautiful family images.  Four kids can be kind of challenging, but these four were fantastic (although the baby was definitely a moving target)!  Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your family for this holiday season!  I had an awesome time with all of you!

San Juan Capistrano- Cohen Family

This shoot has been a long time coming.  Dr. Cohen works with my Dad and my Dad keeps telling me, Mitch really wants to do a family photography session with you.  Time would go by, and I wouldn’t hear anything and then  again my Dad would say, “no really, Mitch wants to do a photo session with you”!   Then, out of the blue a few weeks ago he e-mailed me and said he was ready.  Now, being a mother of two and working full time, I totally get it that it is hard to find time to get everyone together for a shoot.  I am so glad we finally did!  Mitch has a gorgeous family and you can really tell how much the kids love both their Mom and Dad.  And did I mention the kids eyes?  They are fantastically beautiful (is fantastically a word?)!  The Mission made the perfect backdrop for the fun family!  Enjoy!

Laguna Beach- Mettler Family

There have been so few beautiful evenings at the beach this year!  We were so fortunate on this particular evening.  The weather was beautiful, there were just a few people on the beach and this beautiful family was up for anything!  Mom and Dad have some excellent genes cause these kids are GORGEOUS!  I love the how you can just see how much everyone loves each other in every image.  I have to admit though, the crazy images are my favorite!  Enjoy!

Ireland Kids- San Juan Capistrano

Oh how I love these two little boys!  However, we had a little bit of a challenge down at the train tracks!  The main problem is the youngest doesn’t like LOUD noises.  You know, like train whistles and screeching brakes!  Luckily we snuck over to the red caboose and he forgot all about the “real train”!  Sometimes we have trouble getting these two to smile, but this year was a dream!  I love their twinkly eyes and beautiful real smiles.  Thanks to the Irelands for being loyal members of the Blue Sky’s family!  Enjoy!
