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 children's photographer in the South 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.  I have learned that there is truly no place like it and it is home for me again. 

A little bit about myself...Well, I'm married to a very smart chemical engineer and have a fantastic little boy (born Nov. 5, 2009) named Noah.  He's an incredibly adorable baby who has a great temperament and we just love him to pieces.  We also have a little dog named Brodie who is filled with personality!  I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my little boy and he's usually attached to me except for when I'm on shoots!  Favorite things are beach walks, the ocean, grilling at my parents house, playing beach volleyball, traveling whenever possible (well, pre-baby), and just spending time hanging out with my family.  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 a couple of years ago when I decided to take it up a notch and shoot professionally.  My background is in video production and videography (working as a cameraperson) 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!

My favorite baby model! 9 month old portraits taken in Laguna Beach…

My FAVORITE little subject is now 9 months old!  I do ocassional trades with a hat company in exchange for photos and love the look of this hat.  If you’re interested check out Etsy.com (Little Fish is the vendor…I’ll send the link out once they are posted).  And on a side note, I have changed my phone number.  The 619 number no longer works.  I have FINALLY gone to a local Orange County number!  Please use 949.637.8889 from now on.  Email address is still the same…katie@katielubbersphotography.com

Favorite Beach Portraits and Locations, Laguna Beach/Corona Del Mar/Dana Point

I love everything about the beach.  The salt water on my skin, the surf, the smell of the ocean, the nice breezes, watching the dolphins, the birds, no humidity ever and the laid back lifestyle associated with it.  Now my baby boy (not so little anymore) Noah loves crawling around in the sand and watching the waves too.  Here are some of my favorite beach portraits taken in Corona Del Mar, Laguna Beach, and Dana Point as a reminder of  how lucky we are to live in this incredible area!  I never ever get tired of it, ever.

Wow where does the time go? My baby is now 8 months old…

I have been pre-occupied to say the least with baby Noah, now 8 months old!  Where does the time go???  My little guy is one VERY BUSY and active baby.  He’s getting into all sorts of trouble with speed crawling, standing up, practicing his standing skills at 2am, 4am, and 5am, and now learning to climb.  Wow!  All at 8 months and one week old.  It has been non-stop around here lately and never a dull moment to say the least.  Here are a few recent photos of baby N…We just love him to pieces and he keeps getting cuter each day (yes, even at 2am).

Yes, I tend to be a creature of habit when it comes to photography locations in Orange County, I admit it!  But you just can’t beat some of these backdrops and they do work so well!  Plus it’s fun for everyone which is a big plus.  :)  I’m looking forward to seeing what this little guy inside looks like soon!
