Smith Family Urban Session

Any place in Orange County that has good photography potential is really busy, busy, busy right now!  This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting the Smith family and fortunately for me, they really wanted an Urban feel to their session.  I can’t even begin to say what a great time I had with them.  Their kids are fantastic and were really up for any suggestion!  We scouted around the area, and I fell in love with a door.  Unfortunately, it was probably private property, and when I told them to sneak up and sit down, I had no idea that a BIG German Shepard was also sitting near the front door, with NO LEASH.  Needless to say, you won’t find any images with the cool front door here, but we found plenty of other great spots.  Enjoy!

Costa Mesa- Family Urban shoot

It feels like we have been trying to plan this session for over a year!  My friend Jen has absolutely gorgeous kids and we keep scheduling and rescheduling her shoot.  Finally, we got the entire family out for a funky urban session.  There are literally too many awesome portraits from this shoot to even choose my favorites, but here is my first attempt.   Her youngest was born to model and her oldest daughter has such great style and flair, I think I will work with her next summer to style my sessions!  Thank you for coming out to play last week.  Looking forward to showing you all of the images!  Enjoy!

Fabulous Family at the Train Station!

It feels like I haven’t been around SJC for a while now, but last Sunday I did both my immediate family shoot and this fabulous family immediately after.  I have to admit, I may love these even better than my own family portraits.   I am obsessed with converse sneakers on boys, especially black, and this little guy delivered.  He was full of smiles and lots of fun.  My favorite part was the tree, and him showing me his Marshall Arts moves in the leaves.  Thanks so much for coming out to play!

Baby Sasha- San Juan Capistrano

I am in LOVE.  In love with this beautiful puppy!  Some of you may know that Bob and I had a Chowchow/ Husky mix for 17 years.  Yes, she is the dog that always roamed the neighborhood!  Anyway, she died last year and we got a crazy new rescue puppy, Leila!  While I adore Leila, I still have a passion for husky puppies.  So…. when I got the call that our sweet client got a new puppy and here name is Sasha AND she is a husky, I was so in!  This was an awesome session with her great boys and he new girl!  Despite the rain, we got some great shots and I just can’t stop looking at this beautiful puppy!  I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Ireland Kids- San Juan Capistrano

Oh how I love these two little boys!  However, we had a little bit of a challenge down at the train tracks!  The main problem is the youngest doesn’t like LOUD noises.  You know, like train whistles and screeching brakes!  Luckily we snuck over to the red caboose and he forgot all about the “real train”!  Sometimes we have trouble getting these two to smile, but this year was a dream!  I love their twinkly eyes and beautiful real smiles.  Thanks to the Irelands for being loyal members of the Blue Sky’s family!  Enjoy!
