Laguna Beach Family photography: The Vanderpot Gals!

The sun is back out, the sun is setting over Catalina and it is the perfect time for family beach portraits!  If you have scheduled a beach shoot in October or November, you know that the beach is a crazy place for portraits leading up to the Holiday season!  But NOT right now!  Now it is perfect on the beach with few people and gorgeous pink sunsets!

Speaking of pink, here is another very pink session, but this time on the beach.  I have been photographing these two beautiful gals since they were tiny tots!  I am not sure if there are two girls out there who like the beach better!  My biggest challenge is keeping them out of the water until we are done with their session!  Enjoy!

Laguna Beach Family Photography: McFadden Kids

I first met Jill when Kasey and Jordan were 3 years old!  Since then, here family has increased in size substancially!  She and Billy have some fabulous genes, cause these kids are gorgeous.  Not only that, but they are just a total pleasure to work with!  Thanks for always trusting me with your family! Enjoy!

Laguna Beach Family Photography: Calaiacovo Family

I spend a LOT of time at the pool.  I mean, a crazy amount of time… poolside at Soka University in Aliso Viejo.  And it isn’t because I am working on my tan or relaxing, it is simply because I am raising two kids that are unbelievably good swimmers.   Dreams of going to the Olympics type swimmers.  Now I know that there is only 2 best swimmers in each event in the US that get to go to the Olympics, but  kid can dream right! :)  For the past two years, I do my best to catch up on Blue Sky’s Studio work while they are swimming.  Still, there has been time to meet some amazing families that I feel fortunate to call friends.

So, where am I going with all this talk of swimming???  To the amazing Calaiacovo family.  They too have some extremely talented, dedicated swimmers.  Not to mention that all three of their kids are knock out beautiful.  It is no surprise when you see their gorgeous Mama!  Dad, you aren’t bad either.  Though we battled a crazy crowd on the beach, we still managed to get some amazing portraits of their family.  Thanks so much to the Calaiacovo family for trusting me to capture their memories!  See ya poolside!

Laguna Beach Family Photography: Degarmo family Session

The thing about doing most of my sessions on location is…. you never know what will happen.  Wind, rain, HEAT all can throw a wrench in an otherwise easy session.  That is why I carry lots of tools to deal with the elements!  Off camera lights to combate too bright sunlight, scrims to create artifical shade and reflectors to really make eyes pop are just some of the tool I use to ensure you get the best images under any circumstances.  Lucky for me, San Juan Capistrano has lots of big trees and funky structures, the only way to block wind.  Despite the elements, we still managed to capture some beautfiul family images of the Degarmo family a few weeks back.  Alex, their daughter, was one of the first gals to have a birthday party at Blue Sky’s Studio and look at her now…beautiful and all grown up in college.  Enjoy~
