What a wonderful week so far!  I love meeting new friends and catching up with Blue Sky’s family of clients.  Thank you so much to all who have participated so far in our Spokesmodel Search for Saks Fifth Avenue and Blue Sky’s Studio back to school fashion show.  Today is my catch up day, so I will be working on editing and posting more images.   Here are the first two girls of my morning on Monday, modeling our cute umbrellas!  I love their beautiful eyes and great expressions.  More to come!

Okay……… these two were in Laguna Beach scouting a location for their destination wedding (they live in New Jersey).  I don’t think I have every laughed so much on a shoot.  They are definitely my kind of people.  I HAVE to share the craziness of our shoot.  We started in Laguna Canyon and then headed to Victoria Beach.  I was raving about how great this location is and the fantastic castle around the corner, when I got more than an eye full.  Let’s just say, someone confused this beach with a nude beach and he was PROUD of his birthday suit!  I couldn’t stop laughing as I jumped around the corner.  So…. we thought, okay will give him a moment and he will put his clothes back on……BUT, he was in the same state about 10 minutes later and we were forced to walk by without cracking up!  Jenn, Anna and I had to look at the ground cause we were so embarrassed.  He finally wrapped a towel around himself, but we got lots of great images of Mike and Jenn laughing as a result!   As you can see, these two make a great couple and I can’t wait for their wedding day!  Enjoy!

This was the shoot that almost didn’t happen!  Bob and I had a relaxing dinner with the Chris, Mary Pat and family and I thought I would be able to do a quick beach shoot immediately after.  However, the weather was NOT cooperating last week.  It is a good thing that this fantastic family was soooo flexible!   They were only in Laguna for a week and we managed to squeeze in a great photo shoot on the last night of their trip.  Better to wait for beautiful lighting than to have so so images.  Well I think waiting paid off!  Thanks for coming out to play on the beach with me.  I can’t wait to finish the wall collage for Pete and Gerry!

I was a little worried about this shoot.  The weather has been so BLAHHHHHHH and these two made the trek down from Valencia to meet me and (lucky for me) they trusted me enough to book their engagement shoot on the same day.  Believe it or not at 3:00 PM on Sunday, the sun peaked through the clouds for the first time in two weeks in Laguna and we were able to get tons of great shots.  I always think it is fun when the couple in nervous about the pictures when they first arrive and then within 10-15 minutes they are laughing and enjoying each other.  This was so true for Kristen and Kirk.  I felt like they were old friends, and Kristen even dealt with bugs (don’t tell her, but Anna and I did see many spiders during the shoot) and Kirk fought off bees.   They are getting married next year at one of my favorite venues, An All Inclusive Event at Laguna Village and I know that they weather good fortune will follow them to their wedding day!  Thanks to both of you for being such good sports!

These two were an awesome couple for us to work with.  Not only is Brittany beautiful, she is organized!  She knew exactly what she wanted from our photoshoot and brought the fantastic outfits to make it happen.  Also, Andy was a GREAT sport.  He went along with everything we asked of him, even though he had just worked a 12 hour shift, overnight and had not had a lot of sleep.   These two are getting married next year on the bluff overlooking Laguna Beach.  An All Inclusive Event at Laguna Village is planning the entire event for them!  Thanks for making the day so easy for us!  Enjoy!
