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!

Maline Family in the Field: Laguna Beach Family Photography

This is such a beautiful time of year to photograph in the fields around Laguna beach!  The light is golden and the trees are still lush.  The Maline family kids are also gorgeous so that definitely helps!  I was recently asked about what I am passionate about.  For me, of course, I love photography, but I also love fashion!  I really believe that clothing helps take a photograph from something ordinary to something extraordinary.  This family did such a fantastic job picking out the perfect style to compliment the surrounds.  I just look at these portraits and know that I am so happy to be doing what I love in life!  Enjoy!

O’Malley Family’s new addition: Laguna Beach Baby photographer

The wonderful thing about being a portrait photographer for Blue Sky’s Studio is that I get to experience all the important milestones in my client’s life.  Take the Hunt family for example.  I met them two years ago through my friend Nikki who manages Fairytales.   Megan and Shawn were planning a destination wedding in Laguna Beach and I was so honored to work with them as their wedding photographer.  Two years later, they have moved to Orange County and welcomed a beautiful new baby boy into their family.  I was so excited to meet the newest member of the O’Malley family!

When Megan and her little guy showed up at my home studio, he was NOT in the mood for a photography session.  We both tried everything to get him to giggle!  Luckily, I have lots of beautiful outdoor spots to work in around my home and we decided to take the session to the outdoors!  Well that did the trick and this little baby boy was cracking up in no time!   What a beautiful Mamma and baby!  Thanks so much Megan for bringing him out to play! :) Enjoy!

I love this one!  He is so cute blowing kisses to his Mamma!

Family in the Field: Laguna Beach Portrait photography

I guess everyone is wondering where I’ve been right about now???  Let’s see, between 5th grade graduation, 11th birthday celebrations, 13 year old birthday celebrations, swim camp in Austin and family vacation, I have been in a whirlwind of activity.  I actually put my cameras down for more than a week :(!  I really missed all of them and I am glad to be back in the swing of things.  I have had so many great Blue Sky’s family sessions recently that I haven’t yet shared with all of you.  I want to start out with the beautiful Babiracki family!  They win the prize so far this season for the best outfits!  I love, love, love the simple black outfits on the couch, but then, they brought out the tans, creams and blues and my heart soared.   Not only were they great color choices, but the vintage feel is right up my alley.  Look for this family in future blog posts, cause I am excited to photograph them is some styled sessions we have planned for later this year.  Enjoy!

Styled Engagement Session: Laguna Beach Photographer

As time goes by I am more and more appreciative of the great people that surround me in my life. Success is hard independently, but when you have a brilliant team to rely on not only is it easier, it is also tons more fun. Laura Foster is a member of our amazing team. She is so talented, especially where hair is concerned. She and I have decided to team up on everything from weddings to modeling sessions. I highly recommend that you visit Laura before any photography session with Blue Sky’s Studio. For this photography session, not only did Laura do a great job on three different hair styles, but she also provided lost of the clothing inspirations and hair accessories and most importantly, she provided the sassy couple to model for us. I am thrilled with how all of the images turned out and I am so thankful that we spent the whole day on the session. My gal Cheryl at Radiance Artistry provide the retro makeup! Thanks to everyone for making this a great Blue Sky’s Studio styled session!
