Life is good and we are so happy to be recognized for our work and talent. It is amazing that all of this comes from something we love, our passion of photography.
Happy Friday everyone! We hope you all have a fun Valentine’s holiday planned. Jeff and I will be visiting Palm Springs this weekend for some work and then a little R&R! We are so excited to shoot Jeff and Kacy’s wedding tomorrow at The Viceroy Hotel, this is our first wedding of the year and it is going to be fabulous. Since we were staying over for the wedding, we decided to take an extra day to stay and celebrate Valentine’s Day and relax. I can’t believe with all of the bad weather we have been having across the country, Palm Springs will be a beautiful 75 degrees for the wedding and almost 80 degrees for the rest of the weekend. What to pack??? LOL Whatever you are doing this weekend, in the snow or the warmth, remember to celebrate your loved ones!
Here is a little Friday Fun I thought I would share. I recently had the opportunity to do a shoot for Argosy University and the Orange Chamber and met Baseball Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda, yes Mr. Dodger himself. What an honor to shoot this event and hear Tommy speak. That man loves baseball! He reminded me of my dad, always could talk about baseball and his team. In my dad’s case it was the Yankees, but the passion was just the same, he loved baseball and all of the history that went with the game.
I snapped several photos of Tommy speaking and even got a photo with him myself. My friend Tanya of Design Action Studios was also there and put together a little video montage of the event and his speech which you can view here. If you like baseball, especially the Dodger’s you want to watch this!
Here is Tommy when he arrived!
Here is Tommy exercising his freedom of speech!

Me and Tommy, it was such an honor to meet him…you can see how excited I am!

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
Happy Friday to all…hope everyone had a great week! This month I had the amazing opportunity to shoot a feature photo for an article in OC Family Magazine. The fabulous Suzanne Broughton has announced that she will be joining OC Family as the featured mom blogger online at ocfamily.com . She will be in great company with some other fabulous OC Mom’s who will be blogging also about their lives and experiences in Orange County. If you are searching for new ideas, I am sure some of the blogs will also be about places and things to do in OC with your families. Feel free to stop by periodically and see what the ladies have to say, maybe you’ll find something new to do or just feel as if there is someone out there with similar experiences as you. You can view the article online here. Here is the printed version too, I am so proud!
Wishing you all a great weekend, and Happy Halloween! Enjoy all of your great family moments. J+D

It’s Monday and it’s business time! As most of you know Jeff and I are a very easy-going and casual couple who likes to have fun. As you scroll through our website and blog at Sipper Photography you will see a more relaxed lifestyle portrait when it comes to engagement and family portrait sessions. We have carried this style through to our business portraits as well, so your profile photos are more relaxed, fun and show the real you.
Recently, we put together this collage of some individual portraits that have been used for both personal and business use. Most of these were shot for various business people in Orange County to promote their business. Some wanted a nice casual shot as well for use on many of their social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. It seems like it is so important these days to put a face to a name. I know in the photography business it is great for your clients to see a photo of you while they are looking at your website or blog. It allows for more of a personal experience and it makes them feel like they already know you when they actually meet you. I don’t know how many times people have mentioned the shot of Jeff and I against the brick wall, you can see it here. They always remember that was Sipper Photography, J+D. We have learned a great profile photo is a very important part of your branding and what you want to represent as an individual or company.
We have worked with many great people and have had our photos in various magazines, brochures and online for websites, blogs and social media sites. We love what we do and it is a fabulous feeling knowing that we are helping to make others successful. If you are in need of a new or updated profile photo for business or personal use, visit us at Sipper Photography. Have a great week, J+D!
