Orange County Wedding Photographer | Orange County Family Photographer | Sipper Photography bio picture

Aloha!

Hi there, and welcome to the blog section of our site. We love our amazing photo gallery located at our main website of Weddings, Engagements & Portraits, but wanted something a little more casual here. Our intention for the blog is to have you get to know us, the real us, Jeff & Dana. We would love to meet you and photograph your lives. When that time comes we want you to feel like you already know us. We feel this is essential when taking photographs of the important times in your lives.

Here we want you to see our current work, go on our travel adventures with us, share our hobbies, and see us interact with our families & friends.

The two of us share this wonderful passion we call photography. We love what we do and we are so fortunate to have found each other to share this with. We want to share all this with you too…so stop by and share a moment with us.

We thank you for checking us out and hopefully you see some pictures you like. Please leave us some love by commenting on the blog entries.

Make sure you tell all your friends about us, and add us as your friend on your Facebook! There you can also become a fan of Sipper Photography.

We’ll keep shooting, if you keep reading!

Tanya of Design Action Studios | Orange County Business Portraits

February 3, 2010 – 4:07 pm

It is a new year for all of us, so why not put your best face forward.  Recently, Tanya of Design Action Studios contacted us to do an updated business portrait for use on her website and all of her social media accounts.  I just love going to Twitter or FaceBook and seeing a profile photo that we shot!  :-)   It is important for your business to create a brand and stick to it!  I mean this is what you are going to be all about, right?  Depending on your type of business, you may display a head shot of yourself.  This way people can recognize who you are as a business owner and develop a trust in your services.  This is where we come in!  If you need a professional head shot or want to update your current one, please contact us!  We would love to help.

We had a great session with Tanya.  She is a very easy-going person who likes to have fun!  I think it is the creativity in us, we just love what we do!  Tanya is a fabulous graphic designer.  She has worked on several projects with us for Sipper Photography and we just love her work.  Design Action Studios is a full service creative studio for all of your brand identity and marketing needs.  Make sure you stop by and check her out at Design Action Studios.  Hope you enjoy the photos of this fabulous lady, thanks Tanya!  Cheers, J+D

My 35th B-Day by Dana

January 30, 2010 – 6:16 pm

Today I am celebrating my 35th birthday, Happy Birthday to me! I guess I am officially in my mid 30’s as of today. The hubby jokes with me that I am getting old and I sigh, but I know it is only in fun and out of love. He is just kidding with me, so I don’t really take it to heart. Besides, he is a month and a day older than me, so he will always be the older one!

Over the last month I have been looking back on my life all that I have accomplished and all that I look forward to. We hear it every day that time is flying by, and well, it is! We truly have to embrace every moment because life is a gift. I am so thankful for all of the wonderful people in my life. I love all of my family and friends and I try to let them know as often as I can how much they mean to me.

I want to send a big thank you to my mom for giving birth to me and making this day possible. Words can’t describe what this woman means to me. She has always been the anchor in our family and such a strong supporter in my life. When I wanted to move to California 10 years ago, she was sad, but let me go because she knew I had to find my way and follow my dreams. Until this day, she still supports me and loves me for all that am and all that I will be. Thanks mom for all you do, I love you very much!

As I chased those dreams more than 3,000 miles away from home, I was scared, but they led me to the most wonderful man in the world, my husband, Jeff. He has always been there for me, since the day we said our vows. I love him dearly. Today, tomorrow, and forever. I thank him for standing by me through it all and sharing this wonderful passion we have with our photography. We truly love what we do.  I feel it is a part of my soul and has been for many years.

This morning, I had this overwhelming feeling that my Dad was watching down on me with so much pride. As I turn another year older, I will continue to walk through life and take in every moment. I feel blessed every day to have love and passion in my life. I love what I do and I am so thankful that I have all of you to share it with.

As part of my birthday celebration, I had Jeff take a few photos of me, so I can always remember who I am today and how far I have come. From the smiles you will see how very happy I am.  I get that from my dad, he was always so happy go lucky. I am excited for the years to come, as all I can do from here is continue to grow, love, and just be ME!
