Laguna Beach Family Photography: Degarmo family Session

The thing about doing most of my sessions on location is…. you never know what will happen.  Wind, rain, HEAT all can throw a wrench in an otherwise easy session.  That is why I carry lots of tools to deal with the elements!  Off camera lights to combate too bright sunlight, scrims to create artifical shade and reflectors to really make eyes pop are just some of the tool I use to ensure you get the best images under any circumstances.  Lucky for me, San Juan Capistrano has lots of big trees and funky structures, the only way to block wind.  Despite the elements, we still managed to capture some beautfiul family images of the Degarmo family a few weeks back.  Alex, their daughter, was one of the first gals to have a birthday party at Blue Sky’s Studio and look at her now…beautiful and all grown up in college.  Enjoy~

San Juan Capistrano Styled Photography session: San Juan Capistrano children’s photographer

I can’t believe today is the first day of high school for my son Cameron!  Where does the time go??  I watched him walk slowly up the staircase to his first class and felt proud to be his Mom (or as he calls me, Mamalee)!  So for me it is back to my third child.. Blue Sky’s.  I have some many fabulous sessions to share with you and I am excited for another holiday season. Please, if you are a member of our Blue Sky’s family, and book a family session each year, try to book early.  We want to provide you with beautiful family images, holiday cards, wall art and with exceptional service.  Our cut off date for holiday cards will be earlier this year and I want to make sure we can accommodate everyone!

So, the first amazing session to share with you is this drop dead gorgeous gal.  She was my first model for this new, very secret location and she did an amazing job.  I love the contrast of the white and the black outfits!  Enjoy~

Summer Special: Christmas in July!

Wood Family in Laguna Beach: Laguna Beach Family Portraits

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!
