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!

All Grown Up!

Okay, I know I always say “the best thing about being a photographer is…….”, but I have one more favorite reason to be a photographer… watching beautiful children grow up into fabulous adults.  Catherine has been bringing her girls to Blue Sky’s for photographs on a white background each year.  These images mark their growth each year and always have at least one image with their toes showing (if you know me, you know that I LOVE bare feet)!  Her daughter is all grown up and just got married in Napa Valley…..but she did not want to miss the final image of the series of her daughter in her wedding dress on the white background!  I think she is just beautiful!

Wonderland Photography Set

This little cutie helped me out several weeks ago when I wanted to try out my new set.  I am finally getting around to posting some of these images.  She is an absolute sweetheart, and I LOVE her Mama too!   Her mom has been helping me with graphic design and I think she is doing a fabulous job.  Hopefully some of you received our new mini magazine, “Clicking with Kristin” (yes, I know, it has the same name as the blog).  This little gal’s Mom designed it for me.  Please feel free to leave comments here ’cause we would love to know what you think!  Also, just an FYI these are the set we will be using at the Saks Fifth Avenue Mother/ Daughter Fashion Event on June 5!

An All Inclusive Event at Laguna Village

Last weekend Anna and I hurried down to An All Inclusive Event to take some detail shots at a 50th Birthday Party.  All I know is that I would be thrilled to have my 50th in such a fantastic location.  Typically this area is used for Weddings, but it is also a great spot for birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events and memorial services.  I think Terilyn did a fantastic job styling out this spot, especially all the gaming areas…..  Hopefully we will have lots of images from this venue, as I LOVE to shoot in my own backyard.  Thanks for including us!  If you would like to book an event at this venue, head over to their website by clicking here An All Inclusive Event at Laguna Village.  If you book a wedding and use Blue Sky’s Studio, you will receive a free engagement sitting and a free 11×14 mounted portrait!

Here are some of the details from the event:

Back in the Office Again!

As many of you know, I refer to the Montage beach as my personal office.  I know, it is crazy that I am so lucky to call such a gorgeous spot my personal work space.  It was great to get back to it with this fabulous family, The Burons!  They so graciously got into a bidding war for the session and Canvas we donated to St. Marys of all Angeles school in 2009.  It is always fun when I get to meet the families at the auction and even better when they tell me they outbid the competition for a chance at a Blue Sky’s sitting!  Despite being a VERY WINDY day, we got some beautiful images.  Buron family, thanks so much for playing with me and I am thrilled to hear that not only was the shoot not painful for the kids, but that everyone had a great time!
