Laguna Beach- Family Session

The weather has been so crazy this year, it has been tough to get a beach shoot in on a nice day.  We try to schedule this over about a 4 week period and it just kept being terrible weather.  Finally, this family agreed to go ahead and shoot on an overcast day!  I am so glad we did, because I really like clouds and a little gloom in this location!  These guys were so great and really up for doing anything we requested.  Even though it was cloudy, the water and air temperature was really nice and warm.  Directly after the shoot, they grabbed their skimboards and hit the waves!  Thanks so much to the family for working with me!  Enjoy!

Laguna Beach- In Home photography Session

I love photographing people in their own personal space.  Families just seem more comfortable when they are under their own roof.  This family just recently moved to Laguna Beach and I am fortunate to call them friends.  Last year at the School Power Gala, they purchased a gift certificate for Blue Sky’s Studio.  Initially we were planning to head straight down to the beach, but upon chatting with the family, we decided to start the session in their beautiful new home.  Four kids is usually quite a challenge to photograph, but these guys were fabulous to work with (even if I had trouble getting the 12 year old to smile.  I love his GQ/ attitude look anyway).  Their oldest brother isn’t really a kid!  He was an awesome help and you can tell his younger siblings just adore him.  Thank you for trusting me with your first photo session as full time residence of Laguna Beach!  Enjoy!

Laguna Beach- Fun Fashion Shoot

Every once in a while I photograph a child that was born to model.   This beauty definitely has Ford Modeling potential.  We started just a little slow so she could warm up to me, but by the end of the shoot, she was all smiles and new poses!  In fact, she didn’t want to leave the beach!  I think she is gorgeous and was a pleasure to work with!  Here are some of my favorite images from her shoot!

San Juan Capistrano- Cohen Family

This shoot has been a long time coming.  Dr. Cohen works with my Dad and my Dad keeps telling me, Mitch really wants to do a family photography session with you.  Time would go by, and I wouldn’t hear anything and then  again my Dad would say, “no really, Mitch wants to do a photo session with you”!   Then, out of the blue a few weeks ago he e-mailed me and said he was ready.  Now, being a mother of two and working full time, I totally get it that it is hard to find time to get everyone together for a shoot.  I am so glad we finally did!  Mitch has a gorgeous family and you can really tell how much the kids love both their Mom and Dad.  And did I mention the kids eyes?  They are fantastically beautiful (is fantastically a word?)!  The Mission made the perfect backdrop for the fun family!  Enjoy!

Laguna Beach- Mettler Family

There have been so few beautiful evenings at the beach this year!  We were so fortunate on this particular evening.  The weather was beautiful, there were just a few people on the beach and this beautiful family was up for anything!  Mom and Dad have some excellent genes cause these kids are GORGEOUS!  I love the how you can just see how much everyone loves each other in every image.  I have to admit though, the crazy images are my favorite!  Enjoy!
