So for just a little bit of personal information about me, I am a health food nut!  If I was rich and famous, my one indulgence would be a chopper.   I just want someone to chop tons of fresh veggies and fruit for me and I will do the rest.  My idea of fun is to wander around in Wholefoods and dream up healthy recipes.  My favorite breakfast is a smoothie (made in my amazing Vitamixer) with spinach, kale, super greens, frozen acai berries, blueberry juice, pineapple, blackberries, flax oil and a banana.   Seriously… I actually love it!

This leads to an amazing morning a few weeks ago when my good friend, Lisa Rieden (I know… she has tons of good friends cause she is so sweet) asked me to be the photographer for the executive chefs of both the Laguna Niguel and the “coming soon” new Wholefoods in Fashion Island.  Okay, I adore kids and all and a good wedding makes me swoon… but Wholefoods???? These people are like my idols.  It was such a great experience and Ashley (the executive chef in Laguna Niguel) plated three delicious entrees that she will feature in upcoming special “Chef’s table” events.  I think all the details are in the store or on their website.  Anywho, thanks to Lisa for thinking of me and making me feel like a “Rock Star” photographer for the morning!

 

This summer it was my pleasure to photograph lots and lots of families visiting Laguna Beach on vacation!  Destination family photography is so much fun for me because I love getting to know families from all over the world.  It is also a fabulous time to book a session, as everyone is rested, sunkissed and looking and feeling their best.   For this beautiful family we headed down to Victoria Beach and were lucky to have amazing weather and a relatively quiet beach.  You can really see how much they all enjoyed each other.  Now back in school and off to college, I hope these beautiful portraits are a memory they can charish forever!

Everyday I have this little conversation with myself, “Self, today you must blog”…. and then the phone rings, or someone needs a ride, or I book a last minute session and the day is completely gone.  Do you ever feel like the “todo” list never ends?  Well, I can’t promise a daily blog post with summer in full swing and the weather being perfectly gorgeous for family sessions, but I can promise to keep in touch with my Blue Sky’s family on a more regular basis.  Having said all that, many of you may know that we just launched our new wedding blog, www.blissbyblueskys.com/blog.  I would really, truely love and appreciate it if you would all go make a little visit and just say hello, or better yet give us some feedback on our engagement and wedding photography.

Now, finally, the Wood Family!  Wow, I think I am in love!  Seriously, they are not only beautiful on the outside, but that have this amazing chemistry and love that just makes you want to become an honorary member of the Wood Team!  Little did I know when they contacted me to book a session, that Sara is also an accomplished children’s photographer in the Bay Area.  She has definitely trained her kids well in front of the camera as they are naturals.  I did not want the session to end.  To Sara, thank you for trusting me with your fabulous family!  Enjoy!
