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!

Any place in Orange County that has good photography potential is really busy, busy, busy right now!  This weekend I had the pleasure of meeting the Smith family and fortunately for me, they really wanted an Urban feel to their session.  I can’t even begin to say what a great time I had with them.  Their kids are fantastic and were really up for any suggestion!  We scouted around the area, and I fell in love with a door.  Unfortunately, it was probably private property, and when I told them to sneak up and sit down, I had no idea that a BIG German Shepard was also sitting near the front door, with NO LEASH.  Needless to say, you won’t find any images with the cool front door here, but we found plenty of other great spots.  Enjoy!

It feels like we have been trying to plan this session for over a year!  My friend Jen has absolutely gorgeous kids and we keep scheduling and rescheduling her shoot.  Finally, we got the entire family out for a funky urban session.  There are literally too many awesome portraits from this shoot to even choose my favorites, but here is my first attempt.   Her youngest was born to model and her oldest daughter has such great style and flair, I think I will work with her next summer to style my sessions!  Thank you for coming out to play last week.  Looking forward to showing you all of the images!  Enjoy!

It is always so great to see old friends.  I haven’t seen this beautiful family in a few years, so I was thrilled when they booked a park session.  The park is at it’s peak of beauty right now, with giant fall leaves on the ground and beautiful golden light filtering through the branches.  Thank you so much for meeting me despite the wet weather!  Enjoy!
