Finn’s 1st Birthday | Emerald Bay, Laguna Beach

Today we have Finn’s first birthday to share with you! This was such a fun party and a great idea for a first birthday with the “Vintage Surfer Boy” theme. This little guy is so cute as you will see in the portraits of our guest of honor. Look at those eyes!!!

You will love all of the details for decor and party favors. Finn’s mom, Jessica put her heart and soul into planning this party and it turned out amazing. We were so happy to share this day with Finn and his family. It was a beautiful day at that, with sunny skies and warm weather in Laguna Beach. Be sure to check out the shot of Finn’s Surf Report…such a cute idea! Jeff and I received our first sunburn of the year that day, but it was totally worth it as we had a great shoot celebrating Finn’s first birthday.

Cheers to you kid!

First Birthday Portrait and Cake Smash | Emma turns One!

Posted in Children Portraits No comments

This is a fun post! Recently, my friend Angie referred me to her friend Melissa who has a daughter who just turned a year old. I got to do Emma’s one year portrait as well as a cake smash of eating her first birthday cake. This little ladies birthday party theme was “pink lemonade”…just absolutely adorable!!! You will love all of the details…cute, cute, cute!!! Emma’s dress with the lemons, her yellow flower head band, the pink lemonade cake, pink birthday hat and the yellow highchair we shot her in as she did her cake smash. Her mom and I had such a fun time collaborating on ideas for the shoot. Here she is…Miss Emma turns one and is having fun!

Love the yellow flower head band!

Such a sweet moment with her older brother…he just loves her!

Oak Hill Park | Danville, CA | Bay Area Family Portraits

Posted in Children Portraits, Family Portraits No comments

We have another great family who joined us on our family portrait day at Oak Hill Park in Danville. This is our second time shooting with the fabulous Katz Family too. We have known Matt and Lorraine for a few years now and we have watched their family grow. It looks like we have another catalog family here with the styling for their family portrait. I love the argyle sweaters the boys are sporting and I just can’t get enough of this weeping willow tree. LOVE,LOVE, LOVE it! It makes for the perfect spot for a family portrait! Thanks to Matt, Lorraine, Lincoln and Victoria for sharing your family with us once again. We appreciate all of our clients, especially the ones who come back again. It is always nice to see you.

Cheers, J+D

We loved this photo…all I can say is that sometimes the best picture is the one that is the real picture!

Kids aren’t always smiley and perfect so why should all of their photos be that way!

Oak Hill Park | Danville, CA | Bay Area Family Portrait

Posted in Children Portraits, Family Portraits No comments

One of the best things about our job is we get to travel. Recently, we scheduled a couple Family Portrait Sessions at Oak Hill Park in Danville for some of our Bay Area clients. Today we have one of them to share of Julie, Corey and Caleb. This is the second time we have done a portrait for them. The first time we shot was in Point Loma, San Diego with their extended family. You can see their previous session by clicking here. This time we did their session up in their neck of the woods. We just loved the location!

They are such a sweet little family! I give them props on the styling of their shoot as they look like a family out of a catalog! Thanks to Julie, Corey and Caleb for coming back for more at Sipper Photography.

Enjoy the photos! J+D

I always like to take a shot of the couple during a family session because it reminds them of where they started before kids!

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

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
