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~

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!

Oh Baby! Turnette Newborn Session

All babies are adorable, but this little guy is beyond adorable.  And it’s no surprise that’s the case when you see how incredibly gorgeous his parents are.  Watch out ladies, a heartbreaker has entered the world.  Enjoy!

Domingo Family in the Field: San Juan Capistrano Family Photography

Just a quick preview before I wrap it up for the day!  Our schedule has been such a whirlwind the last few weeks with fabulous families and lots of high school senior sessions, I haven’t had much of a chance to post.  Hopefully I will catch up soon and get to show you tons of lovely sessions!

I really loved this session, not just because the family is gorgeous, but also because they were so amazingly easy to work with.  Who would have throught that letting a boy throw an orange at you would be the key to a successful photography session.   A big, giant thank you to our stylist, Rashae from Fansea Finds, for the couch and to Sriti for the clothing suggestions.  Enjoy… and Christie we are super excited to see you tomorrow!
