Laguna Beach High School Senior photography: Beautiful Gianna!

She showed up with a car full of clothes, an amazing smile and ready for anything.  Believe it or not, this entire session happened in my Laguna Canyon studio.  We started inside (the natural light in my studio is really to die for) and continued on in the parking lot, laying in the street full of leaves, climbing into a tree, just whatever looked good with her amazing wardrobe.  I love these type of sessions that have an editorial feel really tell the story of Gianna.  She is headed off to either SMU or USC next year and either school will be lucky to have her.  Thanks to Gianna for being such an amazing beauty and so much fun to work with!  Enjoy.

Laguna Beach high school senior photography: SAM!

Why do I absolutely love photographing senior guys???  Everyone asks me if they are hard to work with or if their parents MAKE them get pics… but I have never had that experience.  Seriously, I just laugh the entire session.  For Sam, his mom and I both love his serious face, but he told me right from the start, “I can’t be serious”!  Okay, that launched the challenge.  I just kept trying to distract him with questions, etc.  Though every serious expression was followed by a huge laugh, we managed to get several!  Enjoy! :)

Laguna Beach Modeling Headshots: Beautiful Gigi!

So I am going to put on my braggin Momma hat for just a second and tell you that this beautiful gal played Juliet and my son, Cameron, was Romeo in the Middle school play last year….. needless to say, I was really excited when her mom called me to book a modeling/ headshot session for her!  Even though Cameron and Kasey made me promise to “NOT” ask her to say “Romeo” to get her to smile, I did it anyway (of course I let her know that I was just kiddin around).

We just recently launched our Teen/ High School senior website ( click here to check it out) and I am so excited to roll my sleeves up and get creative with high school kids!  These are some of my favorite sessions, cause I not only get to be the photographer, but I get to help the guys and gals with styling, clothing, hair and makeup!

For Gigi’s session, we started in my studio and then jumped into my van and cruised around Laguna Beach.  There are so many fabulous places to shoot, that we spent nearly three hours running around!  It was well worth it!  The portraits came out amazing.  Here are just a few for a sneak peak!  Thank you so much Gigi for being such an awesome modeling!  Enjoy!

Beautiful Ava! Laguna Beach High School Senior

I have been really blessed in my life to be surrounded by talented, unique, fun and inspiring people!  Many you have met one of my assistant’s Ava!  She is beautiful from the inside out!  We share lots of laughs and funny stories about so many Blue Sky’s sessions.  We always say, “seriously, we should be a reality show!  No one would believe what we do sometimes in the name of a smile!”  I had the honor to photograph her for her senior session.  I don’t think we are done! There is never enough time for all the images we want to take, but her is a good start!  Enjoy!
