Wow, how these four kids have grown!  The oldest gal was one of our first Blue Sky’s clients and I definitely think she has mastered the high fashion pose!  Here three brothers are full of energy, but just great to work with.  We hauled all kinds of things into the canyon to match previous photographs of each child at 2 years old.  Well, we didn’t match 100% as the baby was NOT going to wear overalls…….no matter what!  Fortunately for me, he fell for the old candy in the pocket trick!  Thanks so much Jill for being a loyal Blue Sky’s client for so many years!  LOL!

I am sure you will recognize this beautiful couple!  Last year I captured A.J. asking Dana to marry him at the mission, after that we did a fun engagement shoot at the “Fun Zone” in Newport Beach, followed by a pinup shoot in my studio!  Well, they finally tied the knot and what an amazing affair!  Dana wanted to create a 1940s vibe and she definitely succeeded!  Everything from her dress, to the vintage airplane and car to the photo booth at the event was perfect!  One of my favorite things was the In and Out Burger truck!  Now that is what I call great wedding food!  And of course an AJ & Dana event would not be complete without their baby!  I am sure you can figure out who that is!  Thanks for a ton of fun!

We just got back from Austin, Texas!  It was a great trip and I am in love with the city.  If it wasn’t for my LOVE of the ocean, I would seriously considering moving.  I have a lot of blogging to do in the next few days so you can see what we were up to before I left.   This first wedding was one of the few occasions when I was a second shooter for a good friend of mine Carolyn Rife!   It was a lot of fun to get to work with all the guys and seriously this was a gorgeous wedding party!  I think it is always inspiring to get to see another professional photographer in action.  I think we fed off of each other and I hope she had as much fun as I did.  Enjoy the images.  As you can see, I was working with a lively crew!

My great friend Staci called me up to say that her daughter was getting her braces off and ready to capture her new smile!  I always want to try something different, so I suggested that we go to my new favorite urban spot!  She packed up the car with several “crazy cute” outfits and met me bright and early in the morning.    I think her daughter is stunning!  Enjoy!

Oh how we love Bella!  She is just gorgeous and always quick to smile.  At this session, she started off a little shy, which is unlike her, but as the shoot progressed, the big smiles came out.  This was Bella’s first birthday shoot and we had a great time playing with her one on one (normally she is with her four siblings).    Her parents have some really great genes, ’cause she is just soooo yummy!
