My life in a nutshell consists of family, church, friends, photography, and swimming!  My favorite is when these blend together and I get to photograph friends and when they are swimming friends, then all the better! :)  These three beautiful girls spend LOTS of time with my kids, as they all swim for Nova.  It was so fun to get to spend a few hours with them away from the pool and see just how fabulous they are in front of my lens!  THANK you for “bringing it” for the session ladies!  I can’t wait to photograph their whole family later this summer!

Our birthday sessions are in full swing! :)  Don’t miss an opportunity to have your child documented each year as they change and grow.  We are now offering the low introductory pricing of $129 per session through the end of the summer.  Here are two beauties celebrating their birthdays in our Laguna Canyon studio!

What a fabulous summer it has been so far!  Portraits and high school senior sessions and weddings, oh my! :)  If you haven’t already heard, I am lucky enough to have partnered with wedding photographer Emily Ivey of Fresh Ivey photography to create a whole new, luxury wedding photography experience called “Bliss” by Blue Sky’s!  We have a brand new website and blog showcasing our beautiful weddings in Orange County and the rest of the country.  Here is a teaser, but please go and visit the full post at our BlissbyBlueSkys blog!

Everyday I have this little conversation with myself, “Self, today you must blog”…. and then the phone rings, or someone needs a ride, or I book a last minute session and the day is completely gone.  Do you ever feel like the “todo” list never ends?  Well, I can’t promise a daily blog post with summer in full swing and the weather being perfectly gorgeous for family sessions, but I can promise to keep in touch with my Blue Sky’s family on a more regular basis.  Having said all that, many of you may know that we just launched our new wedding blog, www.blissbyblueskys.com/blog.  I would really, truely love and appreciate it if you would all go make a little visit and just say hello, or better yet give us some feedback on our engagement and wedding photography.

Now, finally, the Wood Family!  Wow, I think I am in love!  Seriously, they are not only beautiful on the outside, but that have this amazing chemistry and love that just makes you want to become an honorary member of the Wood Team!  Little did I know when they contacted me to book a session, that Sara is also an accomplished children’s photographer in the Bay Area.  She has definitely trained her kids well in front of the camera as they are naturals.  I did not want the session to end.  To Sara, thank you for trusting me with your fabulous family!  Enjoy!
