2 days til Christmas, Mark+Randee+Lyla | Orange County Family Photographer

It is getting close! Only 2 more days until the Christmas holiday is upon us. I just love that all across the world there will be families sharing their first Christmas with a new baby. Such an exciting time as your family grows and now you have new memories to be made. We were so excited to share a first Christmas with Mark, Randee and Lyla. Here baby Lyla is about 9 weeks old as we take her first portraits with her parents. Thanks to Mark and Randee for sharing some of your first family moments with us. Congratulations on your new little one and we wish you all a fabulous holiday season. Cheers, J+D

Weekly Wednesday- A Family Edition!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

This is such a busy time of year for everyone with the hustle & bustle of Christmas right around the corner. We need to take the time to stop and be thankful for the goodness in our lives and not get all caught up in the gifts & sales. Let’s remember to stop and take a moment to drop an email, or make a phone call to someone you love and thank them for being in your life.

We have many people to be thankful for. I am particularly thankful for such an amazing husband, who I absolutely adore and love sharing our passion for photography with. Our families who loves & support us each step of the way, in good times & struggling times. We almost have a new family member here, my sister-in-law Jennifer is pregnant and we are eagerly waiting the arrival of Emmi Victoria in the next few weeks to grace the Sipper Family with her presence. We also have some great friends who consistently show there support. Some live further away, and we miss them dearly, others live right across the way and we are happy to have all of them in our lives. We want to send out a particular wish to Carol & Jesse, our friends & neighbors who brought Liam Isaiah Brunnel into the world this past Sunday, 12/7/08…congratulations guys! I will try to get a photo in the next couple of days to share with all of you.

Please try to spend some time with your family & friends during this busy season and thank them for being a part of your lives. We were lucky enough to spend time with this fabulous family, The Young’s! Here we got together a session of everyone! This is why I love my job because we get to share these family moments with people. Jeff & I had the honor of shooting Amy & Chris’ wedding this past January and now we have become apart of the whole family.

We share with you this great family…enjoy!

Hello-

Hope everyone is well…it’s Friday so most of you should be happy with the weekend just around the corner! You will probably see a lot of me this weekend at our blog, we have been so busy, so I have several blogs to post with new portrait sittings that we have shot. Also, we were in Vegas last weekend so a “Viva Las Vegas” blog is in order as well.

Today I am sharing with you a portrait we took of Efrain, Lei Loris & Aiden that we shot at Newport Beach near Balboa Pier. We are so lucky to once again shoot with such nice people.

Thanks to Efrain, Lei Loris & Aiden for allowing us to be apart of your lives by taking your family portrait!

Here you go…Enjoy!

Happy Monday to all…

We are just loving the blog thing. It motivates you to shoot as much as possible, so you can keep blogging. I love taking photo’s, photography really is our passion. I am so lucky that I get to share this passion with my hubby. When we were both in school for photography, neither one of us ever dated other artists or thought we would end up marrying another photographer.  We wouldn’t ask for it any other way because we both understand what it means to people to have there photo’s of family & friends and the events in there lives.

We love to shoot the bonds between people in beautiful locations. Lately, we have found ourselves in Downtown Orange, it is close by and this one location has a vast amount of possibilities.  This weeks session is a little more of Downtown Orange, Urban style. We had a great couple, Franjo & Kylee. Also, Kaitlyn who is Franjo’s 10 year old daughter who is gorgeous. Watch out dad because she will be a heart breaker.

Thanks guys for sharing your afternoon with us.  All of you photographed great! By the way, if you like Kylee and Kaitlyn’s hair, Kylee is a hairstylist at The W Salon in Laguna Hills, CA. You can reach her at 949-433-1279 for an appointment. She does my hair as well and I absolutely love it!

Enjoy and please let us know what you think by leaving us a comment.

Have a great week!
