Laguna Beach Family Photography: Calaiacovo Family

I spend a LOT of time at the pool.  I mean, a crazy amount of time… poolside at Soka University in Aliso Viejo.  And it isn’t because I am working on my tan or relaxing, it is simply because I am raising two kids that are unbelievably good swimmers.   Dreams of going to the Olympics type swimmers.  Now I know that there is only 2 best swimmers in each event in the US that get to go to the Olympics, but  kid can dream right! :)  For the past two years, I do my best to catch up on Blue Sky’s Studio work while they are swimming.  Still, there has been time to meet some amazing families that I feel fortunate to call friends.

So, where am I going with all this talk of swimming???  To the amazing Calaiacovo family.  They too have some extremely talented, dedicated swimmers.  Not to mention that all three of their kids are knock out beautiful.  It is no surprise when you see their gorgeous Mama!  Dad, you aren’t bad either.  Though we battled a crazy crowd on the beach, we still managed to get some amazing portraits of their family.  Thanks so much to the Calaiacovo family for trusting me to capture their memories!  See ya poolside!

Laguna Beach Family Photography: The Davison Family

This summer it was my pleasure to photograph lots and lots of families visiting Laguna Beach on vacation!  Destination family photography is so much fun for me because I love getting to know families from all over the world.  It is also a fabulous time to book a session, as everyone is rested, sunkissed and looking and feeling their best.   For this beautiful family we headed down to Victoria Beach and were lucky to have amazing weather and a relatively quiet beach.  You can really see how much they all enjoyed each other.  Now back in school and off to college, I hope these beautiful portraits are a memory they can charish forever!

Wood Family in Laguna Beach: Laguna Beach Family Portraits

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!

Bailey Carr…..what a beauty!

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of taking some fantastic pics of the super gorgeous Bailey Carr.  What a beauty this girl is!!  Someone needs to find this girl an agent!  As you can tell, the camera loved her, and what’s not to love?  And the best part is, she is just as much of a beauty on the inside as she looks on the outside.  Here are a few of our favorites from her fun styled shoot that had a little bit of a modern 80’s twist.  Enjoy!

Foss Senior Session: Laguna Beach Senior Photographer

The last time I saw this beautiful gal, she was still in middle school.  I can hardly believe that she is already in her Senior year of high school.  She is still just as lovely as I remember and we had a blast running around the Montage in Laguna Beach.  Although the weather was bad, bad, bad…..she still looks stunning.  You can see from the last image, that the thick fog rolled in during our session.  A little grey weather didn’t put a damper on her beautiful smile.  Thanks so much for trusting me with the hat and all!  Enjoy!
