Orange County Family Photography, Individual Kiddos

I have been an Orange County Photographer for more than 15 years and have learned that to get the absolute best images of your kids, sometimes the best thing to do is an individual session.

It is really fun to get the entire family together for a family portrait, but you have a lot of different things happening to make it really difficult to focus specifically on one child’s personality.  Sibling rivalry, showing off for Mom and Dad, and seeking approval from me or from his parents, can all make it difficult to have a kid’s true personality shine through.

So, if you book a family session, and want to add additional kids sessions on to the shoot, we offer a reduced session fee.  You can contact us for more details.

Here is one of my favorite recent sessions with Connor.  He is a total doll and we had so much fun focusing all our attention on him.  He has a brother and a sister and tends to be a little more quiet than his siblings.  Not on this day!  Enjoy.

Family Portrait Photographer:  I always looked forward to summer as a kid, to frolic and play with my friends, enjoy the longer days, take a dip in the ocean and to play in the waves.  I grew up in Newport Beach and never dreamed as a kid that I would grow up to be a Newport Beach family photographer.  Now each year, Summer is a reminder of childhood and the spirit of living in the moment.  Here are a few of my favorites things during the long Summer days:

Favorite Summer Place:  Crystal Cove Beach

Favorite Summer Beverage: Sparking water with a splash of Trader Joe’s Limaide

Favorite Summer Reading: Anything by Amy Harmon

Favorite Summer Movie: Dirty Dancing

Favorite Summer Song: Will Smith, Summertime

 

Summer is also an amazing time to book an Orange County Family Photography session.  Here are some great ideas for props, etc. to incorporate into your session to make it unique to your family:

 

  • Red Wagons
  • Popsicles
  • Small US Flags
  • Beach Pails
  • Bubbles
  • Sprinklers
  • Tent on the Beach
  • Balloons
  • Sparkler

Are you always behind the camera taking candid pictures of your beautiful kids?  Do you hesitate to get in front of the camera because you still want to loose 10 pounds, you are hoping to get a new haircut, or you are just not satisfied with how you look?  Don’t wait because you deserve to exist in portraits for your family.  Your kids will look back and the portraits of you, will be their most precious possessions.  There is a reason why people grab the photo albums first when there is a fire or a flood in their home.  Because portraits are our own personal history and really our most precious possessions.  

I want to reassure you that I can make you look and feel your very best.  First off, I can take off at least 15 pounds with good posing.  Not to mention that I am a photoshop artist with almost 20 years of experience making people look like the best version of themselves.  Finally, I can recommend a wardrobe that will highlight your best qualities.

You deserve to have a beautiful portrait session for Mother’s Day.  Start with hair and makeup in our studio and have your family join you so everyone has an amazing experience.  Better yet, you can gift portrait art to your husband or father for Father’s Day and both holidays are covered.

There has never been a better time to celebrate you!  Our Model for A Day session includes professional hair and makeup, a fully styled photography session and a $200 print credit all for $249 (value $499).

Call now 949-510-3862 or email me at kristin@blueskysstudio.com to book your session.  Only 8 spots left at this price.  Check out this family that managed to get everyone together and have a great time too!

 

Long term relationships are kind of my thing.  I have been with my husband for over 20 years, many of my clients started off with me shooting their wedding, then came back to shoot their pregnancy session, then their newborn session, then babies first year, etc.  I really love to be a part of the growing up process for so many families.  I feel grateful to have the people in my life for not just years, but decades.

That is why I love our baby plan.  One of the most stressful times in a new Mom and Dad’s life is the first year with their baby.  Many days you can barely make it to the shower, let alone get all dressed up and ready for a photography session.  Well, we make it easy for you.  Once you book your pregnancy session, we put the due date on our calendar.  Now, I know that babies are not typically born when they are suppose to be… but we instruct Dad to send us a quick text on the actual day of delivery.  Then Blue Sky’s has you covered from there.  We schedule your newborn session 7-10 days after your babies birth date.  Blue Sky’s provides lots of super cute baby outfits and we can even dress up Mama and provide professional hair and makeup right in our studio.

Six months later, when your beautiful baby is holding up their head and giving out lots of smiles we call you to schedule another session.  The six month session typically take place in our Laguna Beach studio and we have lots of fun clothing and props to make it unique to your family.

All too quickly, the baby turns one.  We call you again to remind you that it is time for another session.  They can walk, sit up, say Mama and love to have their first taste of cake.  We capture all this for you with the whole family in the portraits, or just the baby, it is completely up to you.   This typically takes place on location at a park, the beach, your home or wherever you choose.  Finally we put all of your favorite images together into a beautiful Press Photography album that you will have as a family heirloom forever.  Jessica and Anthony were one of my favorite wedding couples and I was over the moon when Jessica called me to say she was pregnant.  We booked a baby plan for the gorgeous Naomi and had such a blast documenting her first year.  Here is the final album we put together for the family.  Enjoy!  If you are ready to book a baby session or you know someone who is, just send me an email and I will give you all of the info at kristin@blueskysstudio.com.
