I am in LOVE.  In love with this beautiful puppy!  Some of you may know that Bob and I had a Chowchow/ Husky mix for 17 years.  Yes, she is the dog that always roamed the neighborhood!  Anyway, she died last year and we got a crazy new rescue puppy, Leila!  While I adore Leila, I still have a passion for husky puppies.  So…. when I got the call that our sweet client got a new puppy and here name is Sasha AND she is a husky, I was so in!  This was an awesome session with her great boys and he new girl!  Despite the rain, we got some great shots and I just can’t stop looking at this beautiful puppy!  I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them!

These two beautiful gals meet me down at the beach a few weeks ago for a mother/ daughter photography session.  The little girl was just a tiny bit shy, but once she got started, all the silly faces and poses were cracking me up!  I love the images of her just about to laugh!  Here Mom is just gorgeous and very sweet.  Thanks so much for coming down to the beach to play.  Enjoy!

The weather has been so crazy this year, it has been tough to get a beach shoot in on a nice day.  We try to schedule this over about a 4 week period and it just kept being terrible weather.  Finally, this family agreed to go ahead and shoot on an overcast day!  I am so glad we did, because I really like clouds and a little gloom in this location!  These guys were so great and really up for doing anything we requested.  Even though it was cloudy, the water and air temperature was really nice and warm.  Directly after the shoot, they grabbed their skimboards and hit the waves!  Thanks so much to the family for working with me!  Enjoy!

I love photographing people in their own personal space.  Families just seem more comfortable when they are under their own roof.  This family just recently moved to Laguna Beach and I am fortunate to call them friends.  Last year at the School Power Gala, they purchased a gift certificate for Blue Sky’s Studio.  Initially we were planning to head straight down to the beach, but upon chatting with the family, we decided to start the session in their beautiful new home.  Four kids is usually quite a challenge to photograph, but these guys were fabulous to work with (even if I had trouble getting the 12 year old to smile.  I love his GQ/ attitude look anyway).  Their oldest brother isn’t really a kid!  He was an awesome help and you can tell his younger siblings just adore him.  Thank you for trusting me with your first photo session as full time residence of Laguna Beach!  Enjoy!

Every once in a while I photograph a child that was born to model.   This beauty definitely has Ford Modeling potential.  We started just a little slow so she could warm up to me, but by the end of the shoot, she was all smiles and new poses!  In fact, she didn’t want to leave the beach!  I think she is gorgeous and was a pleasure to work with!  Here are some of my favorite images from her shoot!
