Kathryn & Mikko - Couple Photography

Once in awhile it is good for the photographer to be in front of the camera. I was over-due. I had been wanting couple photographs of me and the love of my life, Mikko, forever. I picked my favorite photographer, Ben Craig to photograph us. I have worked with Ben on so many weddings and love his style. I planned out the shoot but Ben was the artist in capturing my vision which was to show how much Mikko and I love each other. Thank you Ben!!




I absolutely adore feet shots. I had scouted our location, The Camp & The Lab and knew about these stairs & planned that we would do our feets next to You and Me. I made sure we had stylish shoes, too! This image is going on the cover of our album.






One of my favorite images. I have it on my desk next to my computer. Also, it is in a wall grouping on our living room wall. It shows my pure happiness with Mikko. He is an amazing man and I'm blessed to be spending the rest of my life with him.





























Second favorite image, my happily ever after ending.




























Awesome mural at the Lab.




























We did this shoot back in April on a very cold day the above image was one of the last that Ben took. I was so cold but worth it. That is what I love about photography because you can really tell a story. This is my story with my wonderful man.

Couple Portrait - Dana Point

I backlit the above image and asked him to lift up his wife creating a more soft and tender moment.



They got married in early June at City Hall but still wanted to document this special time in their life with photographs. They asked me to do the shoot at the beach where he proposed.










I asked the guy to look at his wife adoringly and show how much he loves her at the same time having her look directly into the camera.
































I like creating a fun and intimate photographs that the couple will treasure forever.

Pretty in Pink - Baby & Children Photography





It is always fun to have a new background to try out. This one is called blush which is perfect for girls. I could not resist testing it out on this shoot with two sisters. They were such angels.



This is one of my favorite images. For a moment she was not thinking of me. No posing at all.



To shoot this image I got up high above her.

Family Photography - Moment to Memory




What a sweet & loving family with twins! The children were so adorable at the beach. I love this portrait above that during post production I put a filter on the image to give a dreamy effect. The Mother loved it, too and that is going to be their wall portrait.






I like when Mom's bring props like these suckers.




Sweet image with son looking up at his Daddy as the family walks along the shoreline.

New Look, New Website!!!

These last couple of months, I have been busy giving my website a makeover. So many changes in technology since I last changed my site, I-Pad, Smartphones & social networks.... that I needed to get in this decade so my potential clients can have options to view my site. I now have a link to an I-pad friendly site as well as Smartphone, Facebook & Twitter. Since I am not a graphic artist, I hired the amazing Lucky 19 Branding http://lucky19branding.com/ to work with me to create a contemporary look. They are wonderful. We still have a couple of more things to do the site, I'm adding a separate site for Senior/Grads & will be changing my blog, too! Look for more changes soon...... Please go visit my new website @ http://www.kathrynleboyephotography.com/

Alecia - Prom Dress!!




It is Prom Season! What fun to do a photo shoot with beautiful Alecia @ Soka University in Aliso Viejo. I'm over-hauling my entire web & senior/grads will have their own web site. I can wait to unveil my new look.



I have been loving using furniture outdoors. I picked up this green chair @ World's Market & have used it in three shoots. The table & chair are from my home & I just added it in to give the image more punch.

























I had the pleasure of photograhing Alecia last year, too for her senior portraits. See blog entry September 2010. We had two locations, urban & beach.

Baby Siani - Baby Photography

Love this image of Baby Siani! What a great expression on her face. I photographed her parents last summer for the maternity. This is Siani's first session & she was in such a happy mood during our shoot.






I get asked time and again for little baby girl to use this rose rug. Everybody loves this prop!
