  Newborn photo session at home


Newborn babies are so little and cute....most of the time they are sleeping but this little guy didn't want to.
This was the first image I took of him...it took a little while for him to go to sleep....

    

Part of the fun of each photo session is looking around for good "props" at your house.
That way your photos are more personal....this beautiful shot was at the end of the bed in the master bedroom.
Perfect for a baby boy with the stripes and dark wood.

I can't wait to do photos with his big brother too!

  La Valencia Hotel, La Jolla


Photographers get to "second shoot" for other photographers...we all love doing this!
It's a great way to get images from different points of view and with a different style.
I usually recommend this for couples on their wedding day but I really liked being
included on this "Bride and Groom" session.

I got to photograph Michael and Amber with Jen Dery Photography at the La Valenica hotel.
They got married in Mexico a few months ago but decided to get all dressed up again for more photos!
These guys were adorable and fun to hang out with! Thanks for letting join in Jen!!

So much fun running around downtown San Diego doing
Teresa and Jon's engagement session!
Here are a few of my favorites!

     

I love that downtown can look like we are in a park in some places!

She has flip flops on in some of them but Jon loves it when she wears high heels!!

     

  

They were talking about when they have kids and they see the above photo....
"what's that?"...."it's a phone booth"..."what's that?"
No one really uses them now!! I love this brown wall and the phone...I hope they leave it there!

  Destination Wedding


I got to be Lowell Tindell's second photographer for Jessica and Daniel's wedding!!
They got married in Little Rock, Arkansas. Having two photographers is important so we can get all the different angles. Even when we where photographing Jessica and Daniel we would get unique images. 
We lucked out with the weather. It had snowed before we got there but it was absolutely beautiful the weekend of the wedding. A big snow storm was coming in after we left! 

       

I just updated my wedding photography website, check it out at www.rippeephotoweddings.com

Today I had the PERFECT light!! I love when that happens!
We also got to run around downtown - one of my favorite places to do engagement sessions
Rebecca and Todd where great sports when I suggested we do a photo in front of the
Dick's Last Resort menu! I figured he could be the "king" and she was a "chick".
I just felt like being a little silly.

Can I just say how cute the little guy with the umbrella is?? I'm sure you agree!!
I was inspired while I was shooting their rings....so I did two of them!
I used the flower girls flowers because I wanted to tie the rings with the ribbon for one.
The other image has the page opened that was used during the
ceremony - part of telling the story with images.
My "sign shots" were a big hit at the reception - even the kids got into it.

 June 2008 - A really busy month!!
   Destination wedding in Clovis, California :  Ashley and Brian get married at her Grandparents house


It was so much fun to photograph Ashley and Brian's wedding!
It was up at her Grandparents house which of course had lots of great "props"!
Like the baby blue '63 Chevy pickup truck!! I wish I had another half hour to do more photos!!
My Grandpa had a '65 Chevy and I actually drove in while I was in High School -
I loved that truck! Ashley's Grandpa got a kick out of me getting so excited about his truck -
he totally buffed it all out! The living room had this great couch with a painting
hanging behind it - Ashley said they've had it for as long as she can remember -
I wanted to include all of this in the photos. 




  

    

   I want to thank Ashley's family for making us feel like we were part of their family!! 
They are awesome!!!

     Exquisite Weddings Magazine : : Debra & Jason Zinn  : : La Jolla, CA


Hey everyone!! I'm so excited!! I figured this was a great reason to add my blog!

Rippee Photography is one of Debra's favorites in the Exquisite Weddings magazine ~the Spring/Summer 2008 issue. The Zinn wedding is featured on pages 78-82.

I met Debra & Jason at one of my Fine Art Shows a year or so ago.
Then they got in touch with me when they were planning their wedding ~ Yey!
They rented a house in La Jolla ~ It had a great view of the ocean from the pool & patio area and a courtyard on the other side of the house. Lots of great spots for photos!
Debra & Jason are really into photography and appreciate it! I love that!!
We did their engagement session at Presido Park and then went over to Ocean Beach.
The colors at Presido are monochromatic and then Ocean Beach gets pretty colorful. I did a Storybook of their engagement photos that shows how much fun we can all have during a photo session! Then we went an had dinner at this cute little restaurant.

Here is the link to the magazine article:

     Baby Announcements

I wanted to show you some Baby Announcements I designed.
Photographing babies & kids is something that really enjoy!

Building relationships with my clients is important to me. Sometimes I get to start photographing them for their engagement session and then at the wedding. I get to do Belly shots when they start having kids. I have a my RippeeKids One Year program that includes 5 photo sessions so we can see all the changes that happen in that first year. I tell people that I want to be "Aunt Terri with the camera" and become part of the family so I can watch and create images every year as they grow up.



You can check out my RippeeKids website so you can get a feel for my style of photographing babies and kids. I try to let them be themselves so I can capture their personality. Okay....so babies pretty much just sleep, eat and ..you know... but they are so cute!! I love creating great images of them!

  Italy 2007 
     April 1st, 2007: San Diego, CA
Click the following link to read my blog from my Italy 2007 trip.
I was there for 3 wonderful weeks.

Italy 2007 Trip Blog

I am having so much fun wandering the streets of cute Italian towns!  The place we are staying is really cute - it's a B&B near El Campo - the main square in Siena. I photographed some interesting people today in Siena - A handsome Italian man and a beautiful old Italian woman. I told her she was beautiful "bella" and she gave my a big smile. I saw the old man and wanted to photograph him but knew he wouldn't speak any English so I followed him into the Gelateria and asked them to explain that I wanted to take his portrait! I had about 5 people helping!! They were so nice! I also photographed a couple - he was from Italy and she was from Belgium. We ran around for a couple of hours having a great time. 

Here are some of the images - I love them!! My blog is a great way to see how I travel - check the whole trip out when you get a chance.
