What to Expect from a Blue Sky's

Orange County Family Photography Session?


We will never make you kids say cheese or put you into a painful, awkward pose. 

Blue Sky’s family photography sessions are tons of FUN with a variety of authentic groupings and lots of laughs.  As a mom myself, I know we don’t get in front of the camera often as we should.


I also know that we take thousands of images of our children that likely live in the cloud, instead of on our walls or in an album.


Your children are changing and growing WAY too quickly.  Our goal is to capture these moments for you as a return ticket to a time in the past.


AND… P.S. even the Dads will have a GREAT time. an hour out of your day and you will walk away with priceless images to enjoy for a lifetime.

FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What should we wear to the photo shoot?

    The outfits for your family photography session should be in coordinating colors that work well in the location you choose for your session.  For example, at a beach session, you should opt for colors that are in the environment including ocean blue, sea green, sandy tan, black, white and pops of sunset colors.  We have a complete clothing guide available with more information.

  • How long does an average family photo shoot last?

    The duration of a family photography session depends of the age of the children involved.  Typically a session takes from 1-2 hours.  Within a session we will do 3-4 family groupings, sibling groupings, mom and dad together and all the kids individually. We take the time to create an environment where all the subjects involved are relaxed and having fun.  

  • Can we bring props or include specific locations in the session?

     A favorite childhood toy, a gorgeous blanket, a vintage car are all examples of props that can enhance your session and make it meaningful to your family. We encourage you to bring anything that helps define your family or that is special to your child.  We also encourage you to select a special location for your session.  This could include photographing in your home, at a favorite park or in a seaside resort.  As long as it is within 1-2 hours of Laguna Beach we will be happy to accomodate.

  • What can we expect during the session?

    When you book a Blue Sky's photography session, we will take care of everything.  From recommending the location, to helping you coordinate outfits, to guiding you through posing and prompts to get you comfortable in front of the camera.  In every session we provide lots of fun poses, as well as a lot of candid shots.  About a week after your photography session, we will invite you into our Laguna Beach studio for your purchasing appointment.  We will go through all of our favorites from the session and help you create art for your walls and beautiful keepsake albums.

  • Can we include pets in our photoshoot?

    We highly encourage you to include pets in your family photography session.  Please be aware that some locations have restricted access for pets so it is best to let us know before the session.

    If the weather doesn't cooperate on your scheduled photography session day, we have two options for you. You can either reschedule on a day with better weather or you can opt to come into our Laguna Beach photography studio.
