The Gallo Family

Happy Monday to all…

We have a new family portrait session to share with you. This is Steve, Susan & Billy Gallo at Aliso Creek Beach. This was a beautiful day at the beach for a great family! Little Billy was such a boy…climbing on the rocks and running around in the sand & water. It is work, but I love chasing those smiles around.

Thank you very much to the Gallo’s for letting us be a part of your family day at the beach.

Now, what you all have been waiting for…

Happy 4th Birthday Amy!

This blog is for Princess Amy…wishing her a very Happy Birthday! I had the opportunity to take Amy’s picture a couple months ago with her parents, now we got to share a birthday with her. It is nice to become a part of peoples lives and share these special times with them. Here are some moments from her Minnie Mouse birthday bash, her mama Melly did a great job with all the details of her celebration. The cake was gorgeous, it was from Rockwell’s bakery, and the polka dot & Minnie Mouse combo was perfect!

April and the girls at El Dorado Park

I just have to send a special thanks out to my friend, Amber. About a month or so back we shot photos of her and her son, Anthony “the model”. She has been doing a great job as our PR person referring all her friends & family to Sipper Photography. Thank you Amber, you’re the best!

Here we have Amber’s friend April. April has two daughters, Trinity & Kaileigh and her mom, Patricia, who also joined us. It was nice to shoot the three generation of girls, it really makes you appreciate family!

Thank you to all of the ladies for doing a great job.

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!

Dr. Hsu & Her Family Family Photographer Orange County

Happy Wednesday! I know we missed our weekly Wednesday blog last week, but with the Labor day holiday the days just got away from us. It was nice to hear from a couple of people that they missed our blog. Thanks to all of you who are following us every Wednesday, your dedication is appreciated.

Jeff & I have been busy shooting several family portraits and are even branching out into some commercial portraits as well. Recently, we were asked by our eye doctor, Dr. Vanessa Hsu of Private Eyes Optometry to do some pictures at her office for her website. Her photo’s came out great, so she also wanted us to do a family sitting as well.

Here is one of the pictures of her at the office, if anyone needs to check out a new eye doctor, she is located in Orange off of the 55 Fwy and Chapman Avenue…she is great & her staff is very friendly.

So, not only is her office great, but she has a wonderful family as well. During the Labor Day Holiday weekend we met up with all of them at Irvine Park and took some family photo’s! It was a great time, the kids were a lot of fun and everyone looked great! We even got to check out the ponies at the end, the kids were so well behaved during the sitting that we thought they deserved a pony ride.

I love what I do and it is even better when you get the chance to work with amazing people. At the end of the sitting we thanked Dr. Hsu and her Family for letting us take there pictures, I squatted down to the kids and her little boy gave me a hug and said good-bye to me. My heart was so full and it reminded me how much I love photography and the impression it makes on peoples lives (even little people)…this is why I do what I do!

Here you go…enjoy!

Pony Rides anyone???

Sean, Jessie & Foster Orange County Family Photography

Hello to all…

Just wanted to share with you a new portrait session we had with Sean, Jessica & Foster this past Sunday. I shot these over the course of 1 1/2 hours at various park locations in Ladera Ranch, CA. We all took our turn chasing Foster around, he is about 16 months old, so his little feet go wherever they take him. Sean, Jessie & I had quite the workout when all was said and done. It felt like all we did was chase Foster around, but the images show all the brief moments I could catch of a toddler on the go.

Thanks again to Sean & Jessica for all your patience and sweat through the shoot, but I would have to say it was worth it. Let us know what you think by leaving us a comment.

Playing with the kids…

Hello Kids…

When I was 10 years old I started babysitting a neighbor’s little boy to earn some extra money. Yes, I was young but always ended up being more mature for my age. Over the years, I continued to babysit many little children and become a part of there little lives and it still remains a passionate subject in my photography. During my photographic career I have had many opportunities to photograph children of all ages. From my days as a baby photographer, shooting newborns all they way to the senior’s in high school. They have kept me laughing, making obnoxious noises to get there attention, and yes I sound like an idiot sometimes, but it makes them happy. I have come to understand that photography makes an impression in people’s lives, leaving me feeling very rewarded.

Our blog is meant for people to get to know us, the real us…Jeff & Dana. So, I thought I would share this little part of my heart and hopefully melt yours!

Enjoy some of these moments! J+D

Amber & Ant at Seal Beach Orange County Family Photography

Ya gotta love workin’ at the beach…yesterday we shot pictures of Amber and her son Ant. We spent some time at the Pier and walking in downtown Seal Beach, CA. If there are any modeling agencies out there looking for a great looking kid, look no further because I found him for you. I have exclusive rights to taking his photo’s though…hehehe! Seriously, these two did a wonderful job, wind and all.

Ant is 10 years old, I made him sit on top of the news stands, lay in front of a train…even sit at the bar for dinner at Taco Surf (but it saved us from waiting 30-40 minutes for seating) all and all he was a good sport, he even smiled and took his hat off for a few. That isn’t easy for a 10 year old boy finding his way in the world.

Miss Amber exclaimed she isn’t one for her having her photo taken, but felt 10 years was a long enough time passed never having a portrait of her and her son. I don’t know why she didn’t do it sooner because she did a beautiful job, I think her single days are over.

Anyway, thanks so much to both of you for sharing your special bond with us. Here is what you all have been waiting for, don’t forget to leave us some love.

J+D

Lots of Love!!

Ant is a goof ball…he did a whole series of laying down and the train a coming!

The sun was setting for them…so pretty!

Time to catch the bus…actually we went to Taco Surf! THE END, thanks again to Amber & Ant.

Franjo, Kylee & Kaitlyn Orange County Family Photographer

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!

Chris, Melly & Amy Orange County Family Photography

On Saturday we met up with Chris, Melly & Amy and Rockie (the dog). We took there family pictures in downtown Orange. We started at the circle and snapped a few, blew bubbles and talked about the soap that was in the fountain. We moved on to a store front called Two Little Monkeys where Amy posed in front of the display window with flowers. Finally, we ended up by Chapman University by then Amy just wanted to run around, so we called it a shoot! To end the evening we grabbed some dinner at Papa Hassan’s with our new friends. We really enjoyed spending this time with Chris, Melly & Amy and the photo’s show it.

Melly & Amy thanked me with the following comments on my Facebook wall: Thanks for taking our family pics!! We had so much fun! Amy said on our way to Pinkberry,”Dat Dana is a funny giiieeerrlll, she’s my friend!” 😀 ha ha

That is why I love taking pictures…absolutely rewarding!

Enjoy-
