Holiday Portrait Series | Matt+Lorraine+Lincoln+Victoria=Family

With Christmas coming this Saturday, I am feeling the holiday spirit.  It has been the busy time of year when we get to meet many fabulous families to do their holiday family portraits.  We have done family portrait sessions in Orange County, The Bay Area and Chandler, AZ this year.  I thought it would be nice to share a family portrait a day until Christmas!  I love family moments and this time of the year is a great time to share them.  Today we have featured Matt, Lorraine, Lincoln and Victoria which was one of the families I photographed in the Bay Area in Danville, CA. We had an awesome session, I loved the park location we chose! The kids were fantastic, though mom and dad were a little nervous they wouldn’t cooperate.  I guess I have a magic touch!  Enjoy the photos…Cheers+Love this holiday!  J+D

My Niece Emmi | Pleasanton Park Children’s Portrait

I can’t believe how time flies, my niece Emmi is already 18 months old. She is just the cutest little thing, I love her dearly.  On my recent visit to Pleasanton I got to spend some time with Miss Em and meet a friend’s new baby, Addyson.  Addyson’s photos are due here at the blog very shortly, so stay tuned.  In the meantime, you all get to share our trip to park.  Me and Emmi like to call it our Gap Kids shoot in the park.  As she is modeling the cute pink long sleeve tee her Auntie Bah Bah got her from Baby Gap.  I love that store!  Here is Emmi styling in the park and playing too!

I love this one…she has her serious model face on! Strike a pose girl!

Looking at the pretty flowers and they match my shirt!

Another favorite of Emmi coming down the slide.  She knew just how far to climb up before it got to steep for her, then she turned around and slid down.  Loving the static cling hair on this one girl!

Happy Monday!  I have a fun session to share of Johnathon as he recently needed head shots and other photos for a talent agency.  Johnathon is a great kid with such a fun personality.  Check this out! He can already pull off quite the “serious” man look too! Wishing Johnathon much success in his future.  Just remember Sipper Photography when you make it big time!  Enjoy, J+D

Emmi’s First Birthday | Orange County Family Photographer

Happy New Year to all of you! It has been a busy holiday season and after a lot of fabulous moments with family, friends, clients and many miles driven (we traveled about 1500 miles over the week of Christmas and New Year’s), we welcome 2010.

Yesterday, I attended my first yoga class of 2010. My instructor shared a little point that another student brought to her attention that I would like to share with all of you. “It is not just a New Year we are starting but a New Decade of our lives!”  Not only was my yoga class great but I walked away with a wonderful outlook for this new year.

We are really looking forward to a fabulous new year as our business continues to grow. Our family and friends are so important to us and we wish all of them much happiness and success in 2010. Speaking of family, we celebrated our dear niece Emmi’s first birthday on New Year’s Eve. Here are a few photos I wanted to share from her birthday celebration, I can’t believe Miss Emmi is already a year old!

Cheers to a fabulous 2010! J+D

Miss Emmi in her Miss December Tutu…so cute!

The excited birthday girl…this is right before she got into her cake!

I caught this shot of Em as she was holding the toy camera we got her for Christmas…another photographer in the making!

Here is Emmi in her New Year’s Day attire, we got her this T-shirt too…love it! “My Aunt is Way Cooler than your Aunt” I am such a proud Auntie!

Christmas Eve, Jonson+Samantha+Three | Orange County Family Photographer

I am so excited it is Christmas Eve! We will be heading out this afternoon to Chandler, Arizona to spend Christmas with my mom, uncle and sisters. Before we head out though, I wanted to make sure I got to this post.  As I promised 5 days ago, I was going to do a holiday portrait session post each day until Christmas and I am one to keep my word. This post features Jonson, Samantha, Sophia, August and Tatiana. If you are wondering, yes they are triplets! I saved this one for last because I felt that it was quite an accomplishment, I mean we got triplets to not only cooperate for their holiday photos, but just look absolutely adorable as well. We first met the family on Halloween when we shot their one year birthday celebration and were so happy they asked us to do their holiday portrait as well.  We look forward to watching these three grow and just want to wish them all a very happy holidays season! Cheers, J+D

Jonson, Sophia, Tatiana, Samantha and August

I love to take a photo of the parents, you gotta remember how all of this love started!

And one for the road…have a very happy holiday everyone! Much love, J+D

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
