Thank you to everyone for helping make 2011 Blue Sky’s Studio most successful year to date!  I know I have been MIA, but with shooting, processing and meeting with clients, my plate has been full.  However, hopefully I am now back!  I just wanted to share one  sassy family’s photography session!  More to follow.  Thanks to the Morris family for reminding my again why I am in love with photography!

There are many things in this life that I count as blessings…. my beautiful children, my loving husband, my wonderful friends, having a business that I truely love, AND Coach Andi!!!!  You probably know that my kids have dreams of being Olympic Swimmers.  They practice 5-6 days a week, 2-3 hours per day, rain or shine.  This has made them amazing athletes, but the lessons they learn at Nova Swim Team extend far beyond the swimming pool.  Like, the importance of setting goals and measuring their success, and how to make friends with other kids from different cultures with different family structures, and how hard work pays off!  Coach Andi has been a fantastic influence on both my kids.  So, it was my honor to photograph her beautiful twins.  With much love and lots of giggles I want to sincerely thank you Andi!  Enjoy!

The beauty of working with a couple over a long period of time, is that in the end, I get to call them friends.  That is definitely the case with Hope and David!  These two have been together for several years and so, when they started to plan for their wedding day, they wanted to make it everything they had dreamed of!  From their wedding ceremony at Laguna Village to their amazing reception at The Hills Hotel in Laguna Hills the day was planned to perfection.  The best part for me, was getting to shoot the “Day After” portraits.  That is right, the beautiful Hope put her dress back on and actually got into the ocean.  Not bad for a gal who had really enjoyed the party the night before.  I am so bless to do something I truely love and Hope and David…. I truely loved you two!  Enjoy!

Over the years I have been involved in literally thousands of photography sessions.  Sometimes it is hard for me to recall the ones from several years ago, but a few stick out in my mind.  I worked with a beautiful young girl and her brother.  She was born to be in front of the camera.  The entire session I was laughing and loving all of her poses and moves.  I was sure that prior to the photography session she had a Vogue Magazine ear marked with every different “look” she wanted to achieve.  Fast forward 5 years to the Newport Fun Zone.  She and her beautiful Auntie booked a last minute sunset session.  Although the temperature was a little chilly, this little gal Rocked every look once again.   She is destine for super stardom and I am just so lucky that I will get to say “I knew her when she was just a little girl”!  Enjoy!
