Meredith & Andy {Phoenix Maternity, Newborn, and Child Photography}

Sandi Shipley — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 03:12:01 +0000

I was really excited when Meredith contacted me a few months back to schedule her Maternity session for this spring. The day of her session arrived…but so did the rain clouds! So we rescheduled for a few weeks out. The rain showed up AGAIN. Meredith was great. She really wanted a bright sunny day so we just rescheduled for another two weeks out. Low and behold, no rain clouds. But a sick little girl. (Mine!) We ended up having to reschedule about 4 times before we actually met up this past Sunday for her session! A true Murphy’s Law of events may have preceded her actual session, but our time together was lovely! The sun was shining, the day was breezy and warm and Meredith was absolutely radiant.

Andy, Meredith’s husband of three years, was a riot. He had us laughing the whole time. But the thing I will remember most about this session was they way he looked at her. My, oh my. Andy looked at Meredith like she was the most beautiful, amazing, funny, intelligent woman on the face of the planet. Every woman should be looked at like that at least once in her life. I had a great time spending time with them and I am so looking forward to meeting their new little boy when he makes his appearance! Until then, enjoy just a few favorites from her Baby Belly session…

Photographers Day Out- Part 2!! {Phoenix Lifestyle and Portrait Photography}

Here are some more shots taken during the Create Better Images workshop Saturday. These are all from the Bride and Groom model shoot. I have to admit, this was my favorite part of the day! Since I normally don’t focus on wedding photography I don’t often get to photograph the interaction between a bride and groom. These two were just great to work with, and we really got to play with different posing and lighting situations. Here are my favorites from the afternoon. Love, love, LOVED this couple!!

Life Lessons from 2009 {Phoenix Family and Child Lifestyle Photography}

Sandi Shipley — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 02:30:21 +0000

I have taken off a good month after the busy holiday season and am just getting back into the routine of working again. Kids are all back in school, life has settled down a bit and the glow of the Holiday season has passed. As I was looking through the pictures I have taken this passed year I was struck by a few beautiful things. I would call them the simple Life Lessons I have learned from all of you as we have spent time together! Thank you to my wonderful, amazing clients, family and friends who have let me follow them around with my camera. I am looking forward to all 2010 has to offer this year and pray your cup will be filled to overflowing with all of God’s blessings!

I put together a little video of some of my favorite pictures from 2009. Enjoy!

Natalie & Jake { Phoenix Lifestyle Photography}

Wow, these two have an amazing story. They have known each other since they were three, hanging out in the sand box together! They have been together for almost 10 years, married for 5. We got together for a session that seemed to really celebrate the good things in their life right now. I loved hearing their story. Interesting things came up in our conversation. Things like Natalie entered college at 16. Oh, and Natalie had a brain tumor that was successfully removed some time ago. She was in town for a baby shower for a good friend and also had a follow up Dr.’s appointment. It was great fun spending the morning with them! Here are some of my favorites (and there were many!!) from our session.

These two are a very sweeet, very affectionate couple!

I love this one, too…

What a gorgeous couple!
