October, November and December were the busiest months for Blue Sky’s on record.  Thank you to all of my fantastic clients for trusting me with capturing your beautiful families over the holidays.  I hope to share lots of these sessions over the next few months.  I am thankful for so many things as we start 2014.  The health and happiness of my family, wonderful friends, to be active in my community, for new opportunities to stretch my creativity with a job that I adore.

One of my most recent sessions reminded me why I love photography so much!   The holiday season was wrapping up, I really felt it was time for a well earned break and I only had one session left before Christmas.  I headed down to historic San Juan Capistrano, one of my first favorite locations for a session.  I had not photographed around the train station much at all in 2013.  While I was super excited for the session, I was also thinking about how great it would be to get all my sessions completed for the year and start my Christmas shopping (yes, this was 5 days before Christmas).

Then the Frum Sisters showed up!  With bags full of clothes and accessories and lots of great ideas!  I forgot all about what I needed to do and just got excited to create some one of a kind images.  We literally laughed the whole session.  What a joy these two beauties were to work with!  And their Mom was amazing as well.

And then I realized, that this was a gift to myself!  That every day I get to do what I love and create images that bring joy to others.  How lucky can one gal get!  Enjoy! :)

 

Why do I absolutely love photographing senior guys???  Everyone asks me if they are hard to work with or if their parents MAKE them get pics… but I have never had that experience.  Seriously, I just laugh the entire session.  For Sam, his mom and I both love his serious face, but he told me right from the start, “I can’t be serious”!  Okay, that launched the challenge.  I just kept trying to distract him with questions, etc.  Though every serious expression was followed by a huge laugh, we managed to get several!  Enjoy! :)

What an amazing weekend of shooting!  Two high school seniors and two fabulous families and one modeling headshot session!  Now I can’t wait to edit, edit, edit!  Here is just a quick sneak peak at one of my beautiful seniors Maddie!  She is absolutely gorgeous!

One of the most popular products at Blue Sky’s Studio is our custom designed books and albums.  This year, if you order a full book or an album, we are offering 5×5 companion books for only $129.00.  These are perfect gifts for grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, etc.  Here is an example of a super cute family’s coffee table book this year!  Enjoy!

Okay, I am crazy about bright colors in the Mission and the Pearl kids did not disappoint!  I am in love with these kiddos and had a blast chasing them around the garden, and just generally goofing around!   Thanks so much to their awesome babysitter for being flexible!  Enjoy!
