We have worked with Blue Sky studio twice now and both times were such a wonderful experience. They know exactly how to get the look you're trying to capture and work with you on posing and angles. They offer hair and makeup and outfit styling which simplifies the process so nicely. Kristin is also SO great with kids. Our toddler was having a particularly terrible afternoon on the day of our session but Kristin was able to break him out of it with ease. The photo review appointment is also very organized and fun. If you opt for the in person review you get to see a room full of your images printed on display. Looking forward to working with them again!

"My daughter and I were looking for a photographer in Laguna to take her senior photos and we could not be happier with Kristin and her team. They are the sweetest and most professional people and made sure to capture everything we were wanting. I highly recommend them!"

"Can't say enough wonderful things about Kristin! She has been photographing our now 15 year old twin daughters since they were 15 months old. We sneak in few family shoots as well. Kristin is so warm and manages to put the girls at such ease - the entire shoot feels like a session with a friend- and the results are truly amazing.
Kristin is open to ideas for locations and thoughtful with the feel we are going for as the girls transition through childhood. My most precious possessions are the photo books of their annual photo shoots.
I wish Yelp had 6 stars as Kristin would deserve every star!"

See Examples

  • Hair and Makeup

    For girls, our professional makeup and hair stylists will ensure you look your best. Consider booking a trial appointment to explore your ideal look. For guys, a fresh haircut about a week before your session is ideal.

  • Skincare Tips

    Stay hydrated and avoid new skincare products in the days leading up to your session to prevent irritation. For clearer skin, follow a simple skincare routine at least a month before your shoot.

  • Bring Props and Personal Touches

    Bring items that reflect your passions: sports equipment, instruments, or even your favorite book. These personal touches can add depth and meaning to your portraits.

  • Coordinate Your Outfits

    Plan outfits that align with your chosen locations. Discuss with your photographer to ensure the wardrobe complements the backdrop.

  • Practice Posing

    Practice natural poses in the mirror to find your best angles. This will help you feel more comfortable and confident during your session.
