The Coon Family {Phoenix Lifestyle Family Photography}

Oh how I loved shooting with this family! Just a little bit of love and laughter going on here This is actually one of Sarah’s teachers and his lovely family. This was a fun way to say thank you to them for all the hours they pour into teaching and all they have done for my kids. So thank you, Adam and Missy! It was such a pleasure to spend this time with you both. I loved getting to know you outside of the classroom. Have a wonderful summer and see you next year!

This is how the kids interpreted “Go cuddle with your Mom and Dad!” Ha! SO cute!

Hmmmm, I think Dad must be a superhero.

I love High School Senior sessions. I love hearing the dreams and passion for What Is Coming Next. I had a chance to shoot Stephanie’s High School Senior portraits last weekend. Can you say G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S?! Everything about this session was great….the weather, reconnecting with a fun family and a beautiful young lady with a great attitude and a wardrobe to boot! Thanks for letting me share in this season with you, Stephanie! Best of luck to you!

I had a great time out at the Phoenician photographing Shelby for her High School Senior portraits! I had not met Shelby before so it was fun to hear about her activities and experiences in High School!

Of course, we had to get a few action shots with her Cheerleader uniform!

Shelby you are beautiful and I hope you enjoy the rest of your Senior year!

Sandi Shipley — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 23:46:08 +0000

Okay, it is way past noon and I am late getting this posted! I have been knocked out with a cold today (Oh, the irony!) but I wanted to let you know who the winner is before the day got away. If my head were not filled with cotton balls I would write a nice long post about the winner. Argh. So, with out further delay…Drum roll please….

Congratulations, Andrea Amuso! I know, I know. You wrote me to nominate your grandson Tyler. But that’s the fun of having your own blog, you get to bend the rules a little bit when needed. Andrea, I have watched the way you have loved your grand kids, how you lift them both up and do all you can to provide for them. I have seen the way you help others and I wanted to honor you for all you do. Thank you for writing in to tell me about Tyler. You may use your Portrait Session any way you wish Happy Holidays and Congratulation!! I will be in touch soon…

Priscilla {Phoenix Senior High School Portraits}

There are few things that make me as happy as when someone I know and love says those sweet words…”We need to book you for…” This time it was for Priscilla’s High School Senior Portraits. I first met Priscilla 5 years ago helping out iver the summer in our church’s VBS program. She has given her time and talent time in so many ways. She was my co-counselor two summers ago up at Camp, and I have that absolute pleasure of having her hang out with me again this year! It is amazing how quickly 5 years passes. Since then I have watched her grow into such a lovely, confident and talented young lady! And now she is months away from heading off to college. Sigh. Priscilla, I am so grateful for you! Thank you for letting me into your world, trusting me with our coffee talks, late night camp talks and for the times you have loved my kids so well! I am so proud of you and can’t wait to see what God has in store for you.

Here are a few of my favorites from our session. Enjoy!

Alexys {Phoenix High School Senior Portraits}

Sandi Shipley — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 05:20:07 +0000

Saturday afternoon I spent hanging out downtown Phoenix with High School senior Alexys and her Grandmother, Andrea. Alexys was one of the winners of the Senior portrait give a ways I did before Christmas. She is a senior at Ironwood High School and was great fun to work with! Not only is she beautiful and very photogenic but incredibly down to earth with a great personality. Best of luck to you, Lex! Here is a sneak peak at a few images from your session. Enjoy!

I really wanted to make sure we got a couple good shots of Alexys’ tattoo. It was done in memory of her mother and I know it was important to Lex as well…

Could she have more beautiful eyes??

Loved the fun streaks of color in her hair, too!

Nothing says Sass like a cute pair of Cowgirl boots!

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

Sandi Shipley — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 00:04:12 +0000

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!! View the full album on my Facebook page. Enjoy!

Photographers Day Out (Part 1) {Phoenix Lifestyle and Portrait Photography}

Sandi Shipley — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 00:03:36 +0000

Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the Create Better Images Workshop. I had such an amazing time and came home so inspired! Part of our day was spent strolling through the back streets of downtown Mesa, working with models. I can’t say enough good about the workshop! Both Kim and Jen are so generous in their sharing of knowledge and creativity. Plus the added bonus of working along side the other very talented photographers that also attended the workshop. Here are a few of my favorites of the High School Senior model. To see the full album, click over to my FaceBook page. Enjoy!
