Living in sunny So Cal we rarely get what can be classified as “Weather”!   But every once in a while, we are lucky enough to get some WILD hail, rain, lightning, snow…. whatever!  On our last big “Weather” day, I was lucky enough to have a session booked for beautiful Sarah in her home. (btw… my new obsession is, “in home”, editorial style photography.  I love how my client’s homes help tell the story of their family.)

Sarah’s story begins with being married nearly 10 years!  So what a life changer to have a new baby boy on the way!  His nursery is so darn cute, I thought it had to be the star of a least a large part of the photography session!  But because Sarah was game, we started in the hills surrounding her home.  The backdrop was stormy rain clouds, but with sun shining!  So crazy.

Fortunately, we got some amazing shots outside and quickly headed back into her house.  As soon as we got settled in her bedroom, the hail started.   Seriously, in Southern California… so strange, but beautiful as well.

I am excited to continue Sarah’s story when the baby arrives.  Thanks so much Sarah and ENJOY!

So I am going to put on my braggin Momma hat for just a second and tell you that this beautiful gal played Juliet and my son, Cameron, was Romeo in the Middle school play last year….. needless to say, I was really excited when her mom called me to book a modeling/ headshot session for her!  Even though Cameron and Kasey made me promise to “NOT” ask her to say “Romeo” to get her to smile, I did it anyway (of course I let her know that I was just kiddin around).

We just recently launched our Teen/ High School senior website ( click here to check it out) and I am so excited to roll my sleeves up and get creative with high school kids!  These are some of my favorite sessions, cause I not only get to be the photographer, but I get to help the guys and gals with styling, clothing, hair and makeup!

For Gigi’s session, we started in my studio and then jumped into my van and cruised around Laguna Beach.  There are so many fabulous places to shoot, that we spent nearly three hours running around!  It was well worth it!  The portraits came out amazing.  Here are just a few for a sneak peak!  Thank you so much Gigi for being such an awesome modeling!  Enjoy!

So many things go into making a beautiful Blue Sky’s Studio family portrait session!  Of course great photography is a given, but choosing the location and clothing that compliments not only the location, but also your home, is essential!  One of my best dressed clients of 2012 was the Bobbitt family from this past holiday season. I love this plum, navy and gold combo!  Seriously, they followed the clothing recommendations to a “t”!  The clothes are complimentary, but not too matchy, matchy!  They worked with layers and kept the fashion timeless while showing their family’s personality!  Great job Bobbitt family… simply beautiful!  Here is the gorgeous coffee table book that we designed to showcase these fab portraits! Enjoy~

These two have all of my heart!  If I had more time on “session Day” I would have definitely taken them on a shopping expedition as I LOVE their taste and spending time with these two makes my heart smile!    Everyone knows I adore anything rustic, and these gate is amazing!  Will post more soon!!!! Enjoy!
