Hartigan Family: Laguna Beach Family Photographer

It must be that season again, cause all of the regular members of our Blue Sky’s family are headed down to the beach with me for beach sessions.  The Hartigan family wanted meet up before football season begins.  If you can’t tell by the look of the boys and Dad these guys love football.  But, I was also surprise to find out, that the boys and of course their beautiful daughter, really like to pose!  I am not kidding, they just kept coming up with new looks in different locations.  It was like “hey Kristin, what about this pose” and look over here I have mastered the “Smolder” (yes, there oldest son gave me a new name for the serious boy look!)  What a great time I had with all of them.  I see a future for them as Blue Sky’s photographers for sure!  Anyway, thanks for coming out to play and enjoy the images from the day!

A Decade and 1/2 Century: Laguna Beach Wedding Photographer

My beautiful client Rashae came to me with the idea of having a wedding vow renewal ceremony celebrating a decade of marriage between she and her husband!  I loved the idea, especially when she started to describe all of the details and special touches she was going to include to make it a one of a kind event.  So another family member was just about to celebrate their 50 year wedding anniversary and the idea for a Decade and 1/2 Century party was born.  They had a lovely sunset ceremony on Monarch beach and we set up a super duper cute photo booth right on the beach for all the guests.  Thanks to Rashae we had a giant frame, frame hangers and darling wing back chairs for the set.  Everyone at the wedding jumped in and had a photo session.  When they returned to the house for cocktails and dancing, we had all the images printed and framed waiting for each guest.  Thank you so much to the Taylor family for including me and my crew!  We had a blast!  Enjoy!

For about a year now I have been working on putting a new program together for high school senior photography.  My goal is to provide something different from what is currently available to most high school students!   I want them to feel like they have just stepped of the pages of a fashion magazine instead of having a cheesy blue background that hasn’t changed since kindergarden!  Sooo, here is some beautiful gals and one very lucky guy that will graduate from Laguna Beach High School the class of 2012.  Keep checking back cause we are planning some really funky styled sessions!  If you are interested in booking a senior session, we are currently offering a 50% discount off of the session fee.  E-mail us at blueskysstudio@gmail.com for more information!

Brittany & Andrew: Laguna Beach Wedding Photography

I fell in love with this couple almost two years ago during their engagement session.  Brittany is beautiful and one of the sweetest people I have ever met.  Andy is an amazing guy and totally in love with Brittany.  In fact, I think the first sparks flew between these two in 5th grade and they have been together ever since.  Needless to say, I was so excited that their wedding day planned by An All Inclusive Event had finally arrived.  Brittany is not only a hottie, but she is also a talented designer.  She redesigned her wedding dress as well as designed all of the dresses for the bridesmaids.  Take one look at Brittany’s Mommy and you can see that good looks definitely run in this family.  The wedding day was just fabulous, but my favorite part of the whole celebration was watching Brittany and her twin brother perform their sibling dance.   Seriously, these two can really get down!  Enjoy!

Jessica and Anthony: Laguna Beach Wedding Photography

This is this story of a 13 year romance, ending in a beautiful wedding celebration uniquely Jessica and Anthony.   It was a picture perfect day at the beach, just the right amount of diffused light peaking through the clouds.  Jessica was with her best girl friends from high school while Anthony, a little nervous, finished getting ready in his room!   Jessica had not one, but two fantastic dresses and, super duper hot shoes!  We had fun finding some new locations at the Holiday Inn Laguna Beach (which, by the way, is a great spot for wedding portraits) and then we were off to Laguna Village for another beautiful All Inclusive Wedding.  Instead of a more traditional wedding, Anthony waited in anticipation while Jessica met him at the bottom of the stairs so they could walk down the isle together.  After a quick ceremony it was down to the beach where, in Anthony’s words, I earned my $$$$ laying in the sand laughing at both of their silly antics.  One of my favorite images on the day is Anthony and Jessica running down the beach holding hands.  The funniest part was actually watching this, cause Anthony was really hamming it up, skipping and jumping…….  I also love the images of the best friends.  You can really tell how much they love each other!

Another break from tradition was toasting with beer steins and the funky cake topper!  All in all it was a fantastic day and I really had such an awesome time being part of it.  Enjoy!!!!
