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...I have two amazing little children and am married to a chemical engineer from Ohio who all keep me very busy. Favorite things are playing with the kids, dance, beach walks, the ocean, grilling out with friends, playing beach volleyball, and traveling whenever possible (well, pre-babies that is). 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 few years ago when I decided to take it up a notch and shoot professionally. My background is in video production, editing and videography (working as a cameraperson for a San Diego news network, also various documentaries, shows and corporate videos), which has made my transition to still photography a very smooth one. I have a business marketing degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
I look forward to working with you and thanks again for stopping by!

Family Portraits in Laguna Beach
I have been asked if I can put together baby and children comp cards and the answer is yes! Here is an example of a photo composite card (I used my own baby as an example and nope, he doesn’t do baby modeling yet, only for me)! This format can be used for any age.

Children's Composite Cards
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

9 month old portrait

My little model


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.
South Laguna. Bright solid colors work so well!
Corona Del Mar - My favorite location (well at least for the moment)!



La Jolla - Baby’s first beach adventure.
Corona Del Mar - The tide pools make an amazing backdrop!
Aliso Creek Beach - This family were good sports. We all got soaked half way into the shoot!

Emerald Bay (North Laguna). A place near and dear to my heart. I grew up there and always really enjoy any time I get to spend there now. A true paradise!


Dana Point - Very windy at times but another great location!

CDM! This family rocks…very fun to work with!
The arch is, well “priceless”.

I’m a creature of habit, yes I love that arch!
Laguna Beach once again!

La Jolla has so many interesting rock formations! If you are up for a beach photography session, well so am I. Contact me at katie@katielubbersphotography.com for beach portrait photo session information and current specials. http://www.katielubbersphotography.com
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).




Noah loves his little dog Brodie!
