I love a fun modeling session either for an agency or just because.  Truthfully, I was a total Barbie lover when I was a kid!  I loved to dress up my dolls and play make believe.  I think these sessions are my chance to play dress up in real life.

This gorgeous gal, with the stunning ice blue eyes, has totally perfected the cute pout!  I can see her modeling surf wear or fun outdoor clothing.  Good luck to her!  Enjoy!

Where did this summer go to??? It was too fast, and I want it back. Thank goodness that we still get amazing weather in September and October. I vow to spend a least one beach day before the leaves start changing color.

Anyway….one of my favorite things about being a photographer is the great friendships I have made over the years with my clients. I feel like a small part of lots of great families, being there to document the changes over the years both in how the kiddos look and how their personalities evolve.

I have been photographing this absolute beauty for many years with her gorgeous sister and family. I have never had the opportunity to spend a lot of one on one time with her, so it was such a pleasure to photographer her for her budding modeling career. She is a truly talented dancer and well as a natural beauty, so we focus the session on both.

Thankfully I had her sister and Mom to assist me during the session and we had lots of laughs getting the perfect expression. Thanks for making me a part of the Hulley family! Enjoy!

Oh how I love this session!  Here is a cutie sneak peak at a few of the images from Day One.  Day two includes a vintage Merry-go-Round so you have to come back and check it out! :)

Ms. Abella is a vibrant, funny, silly beautiful girl who I had the pleasure of capturing with my camera.  Although she was in treatment and lost all her hair, that did not stop her from radiating joy and enthusiasm for her “glamour” session!  When I dropped off her art work just last week she said to me, you know I LOVE the balloon pics, but I really loved getting my pictures taken the most!  Really, a girl after my own heart!  Much love and hugs to her whole family!  I am so honored to call you friends! Enjoy!

It is like tax season around Blue Sky’s Studio, rushing around finishing up holiday cards, and making sure all the holiday gifts go out the door in time to put under the tree.  In the middle of the madiness, we also moved into a new photography studio with beautiful, natural northern light.

If you are puzzling over last minute holiday gift ideas for teen girls or boys, you might consider a fashion inspired photography session in our new studio.  They bring 4-5 of their favorite outfits, we bring accessories, etc and your young adults get to see what it feels like to be a real model.  The best part is that you have an entire portfolio of beautiful shots of your child.  The added bonus is, it really empowers kids and helps them see how beautiful/ handsome they really are!  Here is a peak at our new studio and one truely stunning young girl!
