Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks for stopping by.  This is where you will find client previews, recent happenings, specials, coupon codes and updates.  Please remember to sign up for our newsletter on the main website for current specials. 

I'm a new children's photographer in the Orange County, CA area and am a Laguna Beach native.  Growing up in such a beautiful area and then living away from it has really made me appreciate all that California has to offer.  The energy, vitality, natural surroundings, creative atmosphere, climate, cuisine, and unique & interesting people are all reasons that I love California and look forward to being a permanent resident again very soon.  I have learned that there is truly no place like it and it is home for me. 

A little bit about myself...Well, I'm married and expecting a boy at the end of the year (yes, it's official, I'm pregnant)!  I'm absolutely obsessed with my little dog Brodie, I love lazy days on the beach, the ocean, grilling at my parents house, playing beach volleyball, and traveling whenever possible.  Mexican food, sushi, have a chips, red wine, green tea & See's candy are among my favorites.  Photography has been my passion and hobby until recently when I decided to take it up a notch and shoot professionally.  My background is in video production and videography which has made my transition to still photography a very smooth one.

I look forward to working with you and thanks again for stopping by!

Family Portraits in Newport Beach! Yeap, I’m back to shooting after having my baby boy!

So I’m definitely back to doing family, maternity, newborn and children’s photo shoots and of course wanted to post these photos of this adorable family from one of my favorite locations in South Orange County.  The kids and their parents were all naturals in front of the camera and they were a lot of fun too!  I love the simplicity of the solid colors and think they work really well for family portraits!

I’m booking sessions for Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and will be running some spring specials soon (be sure to check my specials page on the website).  I will also be doing a mini-session sometime very soon.  If you are interested in a mini-session please let me know and I will add your name to the list!

So we had a nice healthy sized baby boy via C Section on November 5, 2009.  We’ve been having lots of fun with him and he’s a really good little baby!  Introducing Noah Christopher Lubbers…Can you stand it?

And here are a couple of updated photos along with a link to a video clip…Noah is now 3 months old.  And I am now booking photo sessions in the South Orange County area.  If you are interested in a newborn photography sitting or family/child portrait I will be available again for shoots on Friday, Saturday, and Sundays.

Katie is on Maternity Leave!

I am down to the last days of my pregnancy and will be on maternity leave for about 6 weeks.  If anyone is interested in a photo session please continue to contact me, as I am not sure of the exact timing which I’ll be coming back but I anticipate that it will be around the second week in December (in time for Christmas)!  Thanks to all of my great new clients for your business in 2009 and I look forward to working with you next year!

Here are a few photos of myself throughout my pregnancy!  Katie :)

Family Portrait Photography at the Beach in Corona Del Mar!

I loved working with this family…they are from Chicago and visit Orange County every summer.  They were so much fun to photograph and I love the way their pictures turned out.  What a carefree, laid back family!  Here are some previews, enjoy!
