Woodbury Irvine Family Photography

This is a Family Portrait Session we recently shot in Irvine. What a gorgeous little family! My job isn’t easy sometimes when part of the portrait session entails chasing a 20 month old around the park, wiping her nose and picking her up after she runs too fast then falls. It feels like chaos as we are shooting, but my mom always says “Patience is a Virtue”. Thank goodness I am blessed with the gift of patience as I need it to photograph children. That is all it takes…haha!!!

Somehow that chaos always turns into the beautiful moments of our lives! Here is Brandon, Katy, Madison and Avery…

Enjoy, J+D

New Orleans Where Y’At Magazine: Wedding Article Feature

Posted in Dana and Jeff, Destination Wedding, Food+Travel, Los Angeles Wedding, Orange County Weddings No comments

For those of you who know us, you know that we LOVE New Orleans! Both Jeff and I have traveled to NOLA on several occasions as we just love that city. We were just there in October eating some jambalaya and drinking hurricanes, as well as exploring the French Quarter. This trip we also took a ride out to the beautiful Oak Alley Plantation and saw many other fabulous plantations along the way. These are such great locations for Weddings in and around the New Orleans area. One of the hot spots for weddings this past October was in Jackson Square and in the St. Louis Cathedral in the French Quarter. What a great back drop to say your I-do’s and do your wedding photography. Then there is nothing better than after the ceremony when the Treme Brass Band rolls up to start a second line for the couple as they dance and celebrate through the famous streets of the French Quarter including Bourbon Street! We actually joined a few second lines this time as we LOVE that New Orleans Jazz and of course LOVE anything weddings!

With our love for New Orleans and Weddings, one of our goal’s for 2012 is to get there for more weddings this year! With this goal in mind we were so excited to have been quoted in a recent magazine article about New Orleans Weddings. Where Y’At Magazine is a local New Orleans publication that recently featured an article about wedding trends in their January 2012 issue. The local writer, Tyler Lott who is a New Orleans native reached out to us as she wanted our perspective from what we see with wedding trends in Southern California and how they coincide with the trends in New Orleans. You can see the entire article online at Where Y’At magazine. In the meantime, look here…it’s The Sipper’s and we are so excited to be a part of New Orleans Weddings too.

Sipper Photography is quoted twice in the New Orleans Wedding Article: The Many Ways to Say “I do”

So excited that our quote about wedding trends was chosen out of the article for the pull quote.

A New Home: Family Portrait | Orange County Family Portrait Photographer

Posted in Children Portraits, Family Portraits No comments

Happy New Year to all. I can’t believe 2012 is here! It is a new year filled with new possibilities and we are looking forward to it. We are off to a busy start with our business and can’t wait to share all of the marvelous moments this year with both our existing clients and new ones. Speaking of moments to share, today we have a portrait of the wonderful Chen Family who we have been photographing the last three years. They have the cute triplets we have featured before, August, Sophia and Tatiana. The triplets are now three years old and with a bigger family comes a bigger house. When Samantha had the triplets they started designing and building their new home and this past year they got to move into it. It is all about moments and since this was a big one, I thought how nice would it be to do their family portrait for the year in their new home.

What a beautiful place. What a beautiful family. I love seeing the kids each year as they grow up so fast. August can “ham it up”, he is usually ready for a photo with a smile and so is his sister Sophia. Tatiana on the other hand, is the serious one of the group. So my moments with her are on her terms! Haha! Needless to say, I love them all!

We wish you all the best for a healthy and prosperous new year this 2012! Enjoy the moments…

Cheers+Love,
J+D

Big Train Testimonial Ad Shoot | Orange County Business Portraits

Posted in Commercial Portraits 1 comment

This was a business portrait we shot of Jim Miller at Coffee Importers for a testimonial ad for Big Train Beverage company. We loved working with Jim, he was such a nice guy. He has a great shop in the Dana Point Harbor if you are in the area and want some coffee or a Chai drink while you enjoy the view of the Harbor. Cheers, J+D

Fall Season Portrait by Sipper Photography | Orange County Family Photographer

Posted in Children Portraits, Family Portraits No comments

Here is a Fall Family Portrait we recently did. I love this time of the year when all of the leaves have turned and they start falling to the ground. Yesterday, I went on a walk with my two nieces and Emmi, who is almost 3 years old was having a ball walking in the leaves. We swished through the leaves and listened to them crunch. She then picked up armfuls of the leaves and threw them up in the air. It was so cute!

Here is Rafael, Dominic and Kristin in the park. Dominic had just turned a year old so not only did we do this beautiful Fall Family Portrait, but also a few shots of Dominic. Happy Friday to all. Enjoy the photos! J+D
