Take lots of wind, and sunscreen and sand and you get a pretty wild photography session!  Especially when it is after a BIG rain storm that left the beach covered in seaweed.  Oh well, the kids are adorable and the props and styling are done by my good friend Rashae Taylor, who is geting ready to launch the most fabulous Vintage Rental company!  The session was for my gal Jennifer Taylor’s amazing line of Chemical Free sunscreens and skin care, Smart Girls Who Surf (definitely click to check out her website).  Thanks to all involved!  My favorite one has to be baby Jensen working her little heart out to get sunscreen ALL OVER HER BODY!  Enjoy!

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!

I feel like I am always saying, “the BEST thing about my job is…….”, but I can’t help it!  There are lots of great things about my job!  So, one of the best things about my job is seeing the same kiddos and families year after year and feeling like I am a part of their family.  Take this beautiful girl, for example, I think we have been taking her birthday portraits since she was two years old!  Now we laugh when Mom say “wait, I just need to brush your hair one more time” or “open your eyes when you smile!” :)   She has blossomed into such a sweet and fun gal and we had a great time goofing around in the park!  Thanks for always making these sessions loads of fun for me!  Enjoy!

I fell in love with this couple almost two years ago during their engagement session.  Brittany is beautiful and one of the sweetest people I have ever met.  Andy is an amazing guy and totally in love with Brittany.  In fact, I think the first sparks flew between these two in 5th grade and they have been together ever since.  Needless to say, I was so excited that their wedding day planned by An All Inclusive Event had finally arrived.  Brittany is not only a hottie, but she is also a talented designer.  She redesigned her wedding dress as well as designed all of the dresses for the bridesmaids.  Take one look at Brittany’s Mommy and you can see that good looks definitely run in this family.  The wedding day was just fabulous, but my favorite part of the whole celebration was watching Brittany and her twin brother perform their sibling dance.   Seriously, these two can really get down!  Enjoy!

Today I am definitely catching up with all the beautiful bride’s and groom’s I have been working with this summer.  Jessica and Russ are an amazing couple.  They just moved into a beautiful new home while they planned this casual ocean front wedding with close friends and family.  What I love about Jessica and Russ is they were really about celebrating each other with all their loved ones.  They did have the world’s shortest ceremony, but that was to make sure they could have fun and enjoy the day with plenty of dancing and good cheer.   Russ was a great sport, because it was sooo hot and he still agreed to cuddled up with Jesssica!  Much love to both these two and ENJOY!
