Anytime Sitter | San Diego Preferred Family Service
BlueFlair Photography is pleased to introduce you to Anytime Sitter, and the President/Founder, Samantha Migdal.
Samantha, a San Diego native, graduated with honors from the University of San Francisco. She has over 10 years of experience with children, and worked for a babysitting agency while in college. Now that she is back in San Diego, she has quickly built a unique babysitting service with 30 on-call sitters. Each experienced sitter is background checked, safety trained, and typically is pursuing an education in child development or the nursing field.
Samantha is passionate about her work. She evens works as a babysitter herself, as the need arises! She is dedicated to providing quality child care that parents can count on.
Here’s what Anytime Sitter has to say:
“Anytime Sitter is flexible because its a service to be used ANYday, ANYtime, ANYwhere! They have a network of dynamic sitters who are enthusiastic about children and excited to babysit. Anytime Sitter is reliable because it’s a service that is always available, even in a pinch! Anytime Sitter is trustworthy because the owner Samantha personally screens, interviews and runs a national criminal background check on every sitter referred.
Anytime Sitter’s mission is to become the premier childcare service by providing a network that compliments the lives of caregivers and families while reaching out and giving back to the community. They are currently reaching out to Project Left Behind. For every sitter they refer, $1 is donated to help children in orphanages all over the world: http://projectleftbehind.org/Home_Page.html

Each sitter must have a legal right to work in the U.S., be CPR/First Aid certified, have a clean national criminal background, at least 5 years childcare experience and excellent references.

Little Charmer | San Diego Baby Photographer
We had the best time photographing this little charmer. I think he’s probably the happiest little fellow to grace our studio. He was in the best of spirits, and played great for the camera!
We’re looking forward to working with this baby a couple more times, since he’s our newest Busy Bee. Our Busy Bee baby club program is the perfect way to document your baby’s important milestones during their first year. Receive 3 portrait session for just $250 total! For more information, or to schedule your baby, give us a call: 858-356-5859, or contact us through the website.

Pigtails & Fuzzyboots | San Diego Child Photographer
How cute are these boots?! And boots! And pigtails! Just about as cute as this little one. This is part one, but we didn’t want to keep these all to ourselves. Enjoy the sneak peeks!

Home for the Holidays | San Diego Family Photographer
When the kids come home for the holidays, it’s the perfect time to update that family portrait. The relationships are just as important, and it’s always great to document throughout the years. Brother and sister have a playing, razzing nature, and we were able to capture that, which was fun.

Sweet Bump | San Diego Maternity Photographer
We enjoyed meeting this cute couple. Mom was just a natural in front of the camera, and had deep brown eyes that just “ate” the lens, and I love the fun interaction between them! These two like a more artistic flair, so we included a few moody black and whites as well.
At BlueFlair, your maternity session is now complimentary with the purchase of a newborn session. Our albums that tell the story, “from belly to baby” are a must see, and a wonderful gift to pass down to your child and grandchildren.

Shiny Happy People | San Diego Family Photographer
It was great to work with a fellow photographer who is just the sweetest person, with a wonderful family to match! They are so warm and friendly, and that really comes across in their portraits. This first one was my absolute favorite from the session that Nikkie captured, and the image on the front of their holiday card. Well chosen!
Formal and Fab! | San Diego Child Photographer
These girls came in with their gorgeous Christmas dresses, and we did some formal portraits in the studio. However, because kids are kids, we wanted them to be a little playful and show their personality. I just love the sparkle in big sister’s eyes, and little sis is so cute with those adorable curls!

Introducing Apollo | San Diego Newborn Photographer
With the holiday rush, we’ve fallen waaaay behind on the blogging. But with so many adorable babies, bellies, and families, we just have to get some of these posted!
So without further ado, we’d like to introduce you to little Apollo. He was so anxious to meet the world he came a few weeks early! Such a little guy who was sooo sweet and “curly”!
Enchanted Forest | San Diego Child Photographers
Well, it wasn’t exactly a forest, but these two adorable girls were like modern fairies in their gorgeous holiday dresses, with the backdrop of massive tree roots in Balboa Park. Balboa Park has so many different looks and feels, that it’s always fun to photograph there. And these girls were just beautiful and a pleasure to work with! Enjoy the sneak peeks!

Foggy Family Fun | San Diego Child & Family Photographers
We wrapped up Miss Madi’s Busy Bee session with a combo family session at the Oceanside Pier. We were caught off guard that the fog had rolled in sooo thick when we got there. But it turned out beautiful – a little mysterious, and simply cool!

Electric Blue | San Diego Child & Family Photographers
Well, we first met this little darling when she turned one. I remember mom walking up, and then pulling back the top on the stroller, and this cute little toddler with electric blue eyes looked up at me – - – and I felt like I’d just won a jackpot! It always comes down to the eyes. After all, they are the windows to the soul, and this little girl had amazing eyes. So now it’s 2 years later, and she is just as cute as ever, and still rockin’ her baby blues!
Such a cute outfit, and I had to get the shoes, too!
If you’re interested in photography classes to help you take better photos of your children, especially this holiday season, and then learning how to get the images from your camera/computer to print – check out our Shooting Naturally Artistic Photos (SNAP) classes!

Double the Fun | San Diego Child and Family Photographers
How cute are these girls, especially kicking back with their cowboy boots!
Such a sweet family – you can tell they have a lot of love!
The girls were cracking each other up. In the next shot, they were sticking their tongues out!
Baby Love | San Diego Child & Family Photographers
This is one little girl who is adored by her parents! We had part one of this family session at Balboa Park – always a great place to capture special moments with families. How cute is she with her hair bow and that outfit!
We did a second part to this session, just to focus on baby! She was in a great mood and gave us lots of big smiles. In the few days between this split session, she was more able to stand on her own, and oh-so-proud of herself!
Momma’s Sugar | San Diego Baby Photographers
Just look at this adorable little one! Her mom calls her “sugar”, which is easy to understand, because how sweet is this?! She was so observant and interested in us, and is SUCH a good little baby!
Even when we brought her out to the water’s edge and put her in the tub, she handled it like a champ! Enjoy just a few of our favorites!
Have you heard about our Busy Bee Baby Club? Our Busy Bee program is just $250 and covers all 3 sessions during baby’s first year! We capture their big milestones: pushing up, sitting up, and standing up. Your baby changes more during their first year, than at any other time of their life. We offer an affordable way for you to document those special moments of your baby’s exciting first year! Give us a call today (858.356.5859) to schedule your baby’s portrait session, in time for the holidays! To view more of our Busy Bee babies, visit our website, or click here.
Little Strapper! | San Diego Baby Photographers
Well, this little guy was 4 months, but he’s a little strapper, and SO strong! And with so much personality. We start our Busy Bees (our Baby Club program) around 4 months when they start to push themselves up. This baby not only could push himself up, he could even sit on his own! Impressive to say the least. We’ll have to be a little extra creative for his next session!
Here are a couple favorites so far . . .
Posh Half-Pint | San Diego Child Photographers
How gosh-darn sweet is this little one? We had the pleasure of photographing this posh little half-pint in studio, and also at Leo Carillo Ranch.
Formal portraits are important to some families, especially around the holidays when the kids get dressed up in their special suits and dresses, but we believe children are usually more natural in an outdoor environment, so we headed out to the Ranch.
Nikkie and I were just dying with this aDORable dress and hat. We loved the dress, but the hat was just the PERFECT accessory! Toooo cute!
Love this look . . .
The Power of Professional Makeup | San Diego Professional Photographers
Professional makeup for photography makes such a difference in photographs. It’s different than your everyday “street makeup”, and is designed to work with the camera. While most people understand professional makeup is a necessity on the wedding day, they tend to underestimate how it can enhance your portrait in other situations – like updating your business headshot, social media profile photos, boudoir photography, high school senior portraits, family portraits, and the list goes on.
Here’s a quick, but impressive video of some of our clients, including some before and afters.
One of our recent clients wrote this beautiful note, that brought tears to our eyes, after her session:
I just wanted to thank both of you for an amazing experience yesterday.When you showed me some of my photos during the shoot yesterday, I could
hardly believe that was me. Having a sister who takes great photos and
knows just how to pose always made me feel like the ugly duckling. You are
true artists and are giving a gift to those you serve. CONFIDENCE! We
always see our flaws and rarely get to see how others view us. Your photos
will give me inspiration to let my true self shine through. You showed me
that I can be just as beautiful as any of those girls in the magazines, with
a little help from my friends at Blueflair
And here’s this beautiful lady who is sporting her confidence!
We’ve been delighted to be working with Christy Stevenson for the last several months. Clients who work with us and Christy, as a team, are just blown away. Ladies are reporting that they feel so pampered, “like a princess”. So, without further ado, we’d like to introduce you to Christy Stevenson. She has an impressive list of credits and clients, and she even has her own cosmetic line! Check back for more info as we add Christy to our growing list of Preferred Vendors. Christy has been a joy to work with, and our clients love her as well, she’s just a sweetie!
We’re looking forward to incorporating Christy’s wonderful makeup artistry and styling skills into more of our sessions. Moms, how fabulous would it be to have a preconsultation of picking out your wardrobe options, tips for hairstyle, and professional makeup for your updated family portraits? Talk about getting the royal treatment!

Bright-Eyed Bean! | San Diego Newborn Photographer
So this is the little one who took her time coming out to meet all of us, and while waiting, her parents nicknamed her, “Bean”. How cute is that? Well, Little Miss Bean didn’t want to miss a thing, and she was so alert and observant throughout our session. At the very end, she took a cat nap, but during the session, we captured a lot of images with eyes wide open – which is always a favorite for grandparents! Enjoy the previews . . . .
Isn’t she such a pretty girl?
I call this “mother’s fascination”. I remember those days of just sitting and staring at this little being that’s yours, and the wonder of it all!
And then there’s daddy who is just wrapped soooo tight around Bean’s little finger!
And dad already has a “groupie”!
This is what we call a “foot-o finish”! ;-D
