High School Seniors - Alecia


I love photographing milestones and High School Senior Portraits are so much fun. It is so nice to see a young person excited about their future. They have so many possibilities. Alecia and her Mom met me for a consultation which really helps me in planning a photo session. She surfs so I wanted to incorporate her love of surfing in to some of the photos. We decided to do a combination of urban & beach. Alecia's Mother wrote to me after viewing the proofs, "There are so many beautiful shots".




I love using brick walls & colored walls for fab backdrops. Hand placement is so important in photographs. I really work on creating a different look. I encourage the seniors to bring favorite jewelry and clothes. Alecia had 3 wardrobe changes.

Baby Photography - Adorable Cianna


These are the photos from my shoot with adorable Cianna for my new baby video, a sweet shoot with me talking about my craft and feedback from Cianna's Mom (their second shoot with me as Cianna is on my Baby Plan). The video is a rare behind the scenes look of the artist in action.



One of my favorite images of Cianna. I had these long strand pearls, flower headband and Cianna's Mother, Jane brought Cianna's vest & pearl bracelet for the shoot. A very chic baby!
I love when Mothers bring in things that belong to the baby like these angel wings, tutu and headband. I do have lots of tutus, decorative headbands but it is more special if these are part of the baby's life.


Cianna's beautiful Mother, Jane!

Weddings - Christie & R.J.

Ben (my biz partner for weddings) and I were hired by Christie & R.J. in the fall of 2008 to photograph their wedding in 2010. We photographed their engagement in the summer of 2009. Weddings take a lot of planning from start to finish. Here are some of my favorite images from Christie & R.J's wedding.



I love the Bride getting ready. It's so special.



One of my favorite images of Christie. She got ready at an Aunt's home in Laguna Beach. They had the most amazing staircase.



















Ben took all the photos of the Groom while I did all the Bride's photos. Love this image of R.J. very GQ.

Fisheye lens. Awesome shot!

The flowers were gorgeous which makes for great photos!

The Flower Girl was so adorable.











Beautiful grounds at the church. The light was very soft which is perfect for wedding photos.















One of my favorites that Ben took! Taken low to the ground. I turned it to black and white.














Christie & R.J. got married in Laguna Beach @ St. Catherine of Siena Church. We went the week of the wedding to check out the light. When I was standing in front of the church, I knew we had to take a photograph of them on the balcony.














Great Image of the Bride sitting in a classic Buick! I put a special filter on it to make the photo more dreamy.


















We had about 15 minutes to take these photos at Aliso Beach Park in South Laguna.


















Fun shot of the Bride & Groom sitting on a Life Guard stand.










































Tender moment between the Bride & her dad. Love this image!

Children Photography - Danica

I had such a delightful time photographing beautiful & very sweet Danica. Her parents were so wonderful and helpful during the shoot. They loved the photographs I took of Danica. The above image is one of my favorites from the shoot. Her Mother ordered a wall portrait of this image. Danica’s Mother passed along a very nice compliment, “When I took Danica’s big picture to have it framed on Saturday, the woman who works at Aaron Brothers (and who apparently has worked there for quite some time) said she was really impressed with your portraits. She said she kind of measures a photographer by what she can do with a child and she thought the photographs were beautiful”.


Love Danica's smile.

I always find out what the child is wearing. I knew Danica would have a white dress so I brought some angels wings for her shoot. Danica's mother, ordered the above for her desk because Danica is her little angel.



I really love photographing children when they're running. Very carefree

Kathryn LeBoye Photography - Photographing a Family

Here it is my family video. I'm so thrilled by it. I wanted to show potential clients what a family shoot is like with me. My style, why I love photographing a family and what family means to me. Thank you Aha Image Studio http://www.ahaimagestudios.com/ for creating the type of video that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when I watch it. I showed it to one potential client and she got teary eyed (of course she was seven months pregnant!).

Please call me @ 949-525-7968 for a complimentary consultation.

Stunning .....Laguna Beach

Laguna Beach is my favorite place to photograph my beach shoots. I used to live in Laguna near Victoria Beach for three years. I have some of the best memories, listening to the sound of the surf as I would fall asleep, longs walks, picnics, fab sunsets. I'm always happy to spend time there. This series of photos are a Mother and daughter. It was a fun shoot. The Mother is vibrant and very young. Lovely light, too! A lit bit over cast, nice soft box.
















There are four beaches in Laguna I shoot on. This is one of my favorites because of the wooden stairs. They're the perfect backdrop. Looks really great when the client wears white.


Love doing close ups.




One of my favorites. Like the composition. I did pose her for this one. I wanted a relax look that looked candid.




One of the client's favorite. The Mother wrote to me about this image, I think the shot of Hailey and I walking away from you is one i want to make a big portrait out of, something about that one just touches my heart! I love all these pics, but as I said SOMETHING in that shot just calls to me! Beautifull work Kathryn. I am WOWED!!! That made me very happy.
