Kristen & Kirk’s Engagement Session

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!

The McFadden Family

Wow, how these four kids have grown!  The oldest gal was one of our first Blue Sky’s clients and I definitely think she has mastered the high fashion pose!  Here three brothers are full of energy, but just great to work with.  We hauled all kinds of things into the canyon to match previous photographs of each child at 2 years old.  Well, we didn’t match 100% as the baby was NOT going to wear overalls…….no matter what!  Fortunately for me, he fell for the old candy in the pocket trick!  Thanks so much Jill for being a loyal Blue Sky’s client for so many years!  LOL!

New Smile!

My great friend Staci called me up to say that her daughter was getting her braces off and ready to capture her new smile!  I always want to try something different, so I suggested that we go to my new favorite urban spot!  She packed up the car with several “crazy cute” outfits and met me bright and early in the morning.    I think her daughter is stunning!  Enjoy!

Reichard Family!

I really like to capture several generations of a family and the Reichard’s did not disappoint!  Their parents/ grandparents are in town and they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity by taking portraits in the park.  Even though there was some “harassing” of the photographer (LOL), I had a great time playing with the entire family.   I can’t believe how much the newest member of the family looks like my son when he was a baby.  Maybe we are long lost family members?????  Anyway, enjoy the photos and wave to Grandpa for me!

Inspirational Shot!

Okay, so here is a suggestion for everyone out there…… if you see an image you love in a magazine, or other publication, cut it out and show it to me.  That is exactly what happened with my great friend, Sriti.  She had this image that she found and LOVED, probably because that girl LOVES shoes, and she showed it to me.  A week later, we set up an inspired shoot.   This was such a fun shoot for me because I got to be really creative.  I hope you enjoy, and Sriti….. I LOVE the shoes!
