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.

Wild Sorbet - Gorgeous Wall Groupings!

I have this amazing vendor that I use for frames, Wild Sorbet. The frames are hip, fun & unique. What is really awesome is their design service for wall groupings. I go out to my client’s home & take measures and photographs of the wall that their wall grouping will go on. Wild Sorbet designs two groups ideas with the images I took in their frames and even places it on the client’s wall so they can visualize how it will look. The feedback has been fabulous. My clients are loving it. They’re amazed. The design cost is $20. Such a deal! If my clients orders the grouping then I waive the fee. Every time, my clients see their designs, they want it. Thank you Wild Sorbet for making my art looks so great!

Destination Clients - People that vacation in our area!

I do photograph a lot of families that are coming to California on vacation, and need a family photographer at our beaches. I just photographed a wonderful family from Canada.

She wrote me such a lovely reference, "I had been planning a vacation to Anaheim, California for my entire family for nearly a year. When I say entire family I mean just that, my immediate family has 10 adults & 5 young children & my husband's immediate family consist of 5 adults. I knew that I needed an opportunity for family photos as we had not been together in years. We were looking for a photographer to photograph the two large groups as well as all the sub families & children.
I came across Kathryn's website & contacted her. From the first e-mail response from Kathryn, I knew that I had to work with her! She was prompt with responses to any questions I had, she was great with advice on how optimize the photo shoot, and she introduced us to a beautiful & secluded beach in Laguna Beach, California.
There was no point in time that I doubted my decision to work with Kathryn, & traveling down from Alberta & British Columbia (Canada), you would think I would have some concerns but Kathryn checked in with me when she said she was going to, re-confirmed everything prior to us departing on our vacation, and was more than ready to work with all of us when we arrived.

Once I met with Kathryn all my confidences in her only increased. She was able to shoot solo children, siblings, individual families as well as large families with ease (she even brought candy for the children).


At the end of the shoot when the sun was setting & all of the children were soaked from head to toe from playing in the water, she was even able to get a beautiful family portrait that I am looking forward to proudly displaying on my wall.
The photos speak for themselves... I couldn't be more pleased with the results of our family photos!!
I would highly recommend anyone living in the Southern California area or those planning to visit the area who wants an incredible experience and absolutely stunnning photos done contact Kathryn LeBoye Photography, you will not be disappointed.
