If you haven’t had a session with us yet, I’d love to invite you to view this behind the scenes video of what it’s like to have a Blue Sky’s Studio family photography session. We specialize in Orange County and Southern California family photography.

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romantic love. In fact, while romantic love is beautiful, there is so much other love in our world. So we thought we’d celebrate the upcoming month of love with some of our favorite Orange County family portraits that portray our clients’ adoration for their families. Enjoy the love fest!
These adorable little boys remind us of bygone days where kids played in the mud and had adventures using their imaginations. These cuties were photographed in one of our favorite Orange County wilderness areas.
Salty & Sweet. You can just feel the love this sweet family has for each other as they all share a loving moment at the beach. Notice how the beige texture of the sand and the blue-gray of the rocks compliment the whites and blues in this family’s wardrobe.
We get a lot of sun here in Southern California and it makes for beautiful bright family moments like this one. We love the genuine smiles and hugs this beautiful family has for each other.
There’s nothing quite like a mother’s love. And we adore capturing the darling moment when mamas love on their babies.
And of course we can’t forget to celebrate dad’s love for his children. What a great moment between father and son.
They say the family that laughs together, stays happy together! We all had so much fun taking this threesome’s family portraits during the golden hour at a local Southern California beach.
And it looks like these families aren’t having any fun at all during their photo sessions! ;)
Many of our clients get anxious the first time they hire Blue Sky’s Studio to take their family photos. They get anxious because they know first hand just how hard it can be to get all of the kids to cooperate for family photos. We absolutely love working with kids and after all of her years of working with children and families, Kristin is a pro at capturing not just beautiful smiles, but the unique and special love siblings have for each other. Don’t you just love these photos of siblings–you almost wouldn’t know there was a photographer there, they’re so in the moment.
Speaking of siblings…We’re so thankful to be able to capture sweet moments like this one between brother and sister.
And sister and sister.
And of course, even though life isn’t all about romance, we couldn’t finish this post without a few romantic pics of mom and dad. After all, where would the family be without their love that started it all?
We hope you enjoyed this fun collection of family love photos. We hope you are surrounded by love this Valentine’s Day.

Happy 2018!
Blue Sky’s is now open for the New Year and ready to start photographing again! I love new beginnings. Yes, I am one of those annoying people that actually spends the first few weeks of the year, reflecting back on the previous year and looking at a few key things! That is one of the reasons I always commit to taking 2 weeks off during the holidays.
- What went right in 2017?
- How can I improve in 2018?
- What are my business goals for 2018?
- What are my personal goals for 2018?
- What are my family goals for 2018?
- What are my spiritual goals for 2018?
As the saying goes, “A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
Personally, I enjoyed helping Cameron move into his new apartment in Baton Rouge and helping him start his college career at LSU. I proudly saw my daughter Kasey achieve her goal of getting excepted to Columbia University. I had several amazing trips with my husband, including a fantastic trip to Florida for a much need week of rest and relaxation and a first time trip to New Orleans which lived up to all of my expectations.
I was inspired by so many amazing teachers in 2017 including the incredible Sue Bryce (Canon explorer of light and all around amazing photographer and educator). I felt so lucky to get an opportunity to go to Palm Desert and participate in the Portrait Master’s workshop. I was also able to listen to some really amazing business books.
Here is a list of just a few of my favorite books from 2017:
Hacking Growth, by Sean Ellis (proudly, he is my brother) and Morgan Brown
Disrupt You! by Jay Samit
The 10X Rule by Grand Cardone
Eat That Frog by Brian Tracy
Unshakable by Tony Robbins
Building a StoryBrand by Donald Miller
10% Happier by Dan Harris
The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle
The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg
I Can’t Make This Up by Kevin Hart **** my favorite this year
The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins
Duct Tape Marketing by John Jantsch
The 12 Week Year: by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington
Grit The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth
The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff (a reread cause I love this book)
#Girlboss by Sofia Amoruso
Purple cow: Transform your Business by Being Remarkable by Seth Godin
Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges by Amy Cuddy
Living Forward by Daniel Harkavy and Michael Hyatt
To name just a few….. LOL My key to all of these business books is to listen while I am on my walk or walking the dog. I feel like I am a more active listener when I am moving.
For 2018 I have decided I will have a word for the year. My word is Intuition. I feel like I have great intuition, but I don’t always listen to it. Usually my inner conversation goes something like this, “I know I should really do this but, I don’t want to hurt someones feelings, or someone might misunderstand, or I can do it later”… etc, etc. You know, those crazy conversations you have in your head. This year I am committed to listening to those intuitions and acting on them with love and kindness.
Over the last few years, as many of you know, I have been committed to The Miracle Morning, by Hal Elrod. Basically for me, it is getting up early, starting the day with a morning medication, followed by a list of everything I am grateful for in my life, a prayer to start the day and ask for God’s blessing and a visualization of my future goals. For me, this has been life changing. I am happier, more relaxed, less worried, and generally just a better person.
My hopes and prayers for all of you for 2018 is that you reach for your dreams, enjoy your friends and family and that you are loved and cherished. Have a wonderful year and I hope to see you soon. Here are a few images from my family photography session. Thank you abundantly to Kathryn LeBoye for taking the images that include me and my family. The gift of photography is priceless to me and I will cherish these images forever!
Hugs,
Kristin

After lots of scheduling and rescheduling this photography session, we finally got the whole family down to San Juan Capistrano! I always love getting generational portraits and this was a great opportunity to get lots of family combinations. I have not seen the two younger gals for a few years and it was great to have fun and be silly with the two of them. Thanks so much to all of you for being patient with Anna and me as we walked all over San Juan. Enjoy!
