Happy weekend!  Yesterday got away from me, so I am just blogging for Friday today!  One of my goals for 2011 was to add a little more personal information to “Clicking with Kristin”!  I am thinking that on Fridays, I will post something fun about my family, fashion, food or something else that is FABULOUS!

So anyway, on Wednesday I was going through our old archived files, and stumbled on several sessions of my kids from 7 or 8 years ago.  I was soo excited to see what each folder contained.  The first one I opened was this adorable session of my little ballerina and her sweet brother.  There are always things in the past that cause regret, but beautiful portrait sessions of my kids is one thing that I have done right from the very beginning.  Even when it wasn’t me taking the portraits, I always splurged on photography!  Going back though these sweet memories made my heart smile!  I know in all of the craziness of running my own company, I did something very right in taking the time to document my babies growing up!   Now that my daughter has the same shoe size as me, and that my son can look me directly in the eyes, I cherish these images even more.  In fact, my favorites are not the perfectly posed images, but the ones that truly show their personalities!  I love you babies!!!!!!!  Enjoy (I am sure for those of you who have been with us from the very beginning, you have lots of these beautiful images of your kids from the original studio on Moulton and La Paz!)

“I love this time of year because we get to do our fun Creative Sessions, which allows us to have a different kind of shoot with a theme.  The lighting, family and location for this creative session was so awesome, I love how the shots came out!  This beautiful family showed up on location with some great outfits!  They brought tons of awesome clothing, perfect for this whimsical setting.  I had such a great time on this shoot running after their little one and taking modeling shots of their beautiful boy.  The kids were truly a joy to be around and of course, as you can see, are just gorgeous!  Thank you so much for coming out and enjoying the morning with me!”  -Anna

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!

Happy New Year!!!!!  Thank you to everyone that helped make 2010 such an awesome year for Blue Sky’s Studio.  We are really excited about some great new programs we will have going on in 2011!  Watch for updates both here and on Facebook.  I know a lot of you are wonder why I haven’t posted your sessions yet, and all I can say is I desperately need to catch up.  I am hoping to post all sessions from November and December by the end of the month.

Anyway, my family spent a relaxing two weeks in Arrowhead and Las Vegas.  It was great to reconnect with my kids and my husband after such a hectic holiday season.

So, now to the post.  Monica was so sweet to allow us to include her daughter in a shoot for Kaiya Eve pettiskirts, so of course I was excited to learn that her daughter was actually a triplet!!!!  She has two adorable brothers.  We met up at the Mission in San Juan and it must have been 20 degrees outside.  These kids were such great sports, cause it was REALLY, REALLY cold!   You would never know it by looking at the whole family.  The camera loves them all.  Thanks so much for braving the elements to shoot with Anna and me.  Enjoy!

It is funny how you can know someone for a long time, but see them differently when you look at them through the lens!   I have always thought that these two gals are really beautiful, but I didn’t realize how truly stunning Diane’s daughter is until I started photographing her.   I know she could have a very successful career as a model if she is interested.   The best part about both of the Dorn girls is that they are genuinely really nice people.  Thanks so much to both of you for working with me!
