The new Blue Door Magazine has arrived. “The cover was inspired by a photo session with our team at Mission San Juan Capistrano,” says photographer Brett Hillyard. “While shooting at the Mission, that word mission stayed with me, and my brain envisioned an astronaut. It took some convincing, but I was committed to what I thought was a crazy and cool concept. We visited a few sites for the shoot, and finally we ‘landed’ at the Dartmoor Trail overlooking the Laguna Beach coastline. Lauren Horn did an amazing job modeling the heavy NASA suit in 80-degree weather. All the hot yoga she does helped her train for this moment! My favorite Blue Door Magazine moments are unexpected, with a bit of whimsy. That’s why I love this cover.” Model Lauren Horn of San Clemente is an asset manager with Palm Communities and a private yoga instructor.
