Hooray for summer vacation! But why is it already the end of June?? I need summer to pass by as sloowlyy as possible, please.
June started off with a beautiful wedding. My bff of over 20 years got married and I broke my “I don’t shoot weddings” rule to snap a few images of her getting ready before the ceremony.
During the middle of June I had another family photo session. Marrisa’s family was a breeze to shoot. Two parents and four of the sweetest kids I’ve met. They were so well behaved!
And last but not least, we took our end-of-school-year trip at the end of this month. We drove to Santa Cruz and had a wonderful weekend that kicked off with a five course farm-to-table dinner at Chaminade. I was in heaven!

Beautiful all of them but I am completely in love with the photo of the natural bridge. It’s mesmerizing.

This is such a great collection of memories this month Patty! Loved all of them. Every photo had a story going on!!
It was a fun month, Sonal! Perfect way to start my vacay!

Cool to see the natural bridge after seeing the “taking of” on Instagram. (Hope your camera recovered btw!) Love all the wedding ones too, especially the dress. So gorgeous!
Yes, we finally got that filter off! I Googled “nd filter stuck on lens” and learned a few different tricks. The one that worked for us was a rubber band around the filter to give more traction. We drove by Bay Photo the next morning and stopped in to see if they could help. They couldn’t but I asked for a rubber band and ta-da! I was finally able to breathe again!!!
Such a beautiful photos…you are so talented. Love them all but especially the natural bridge.
Thanks, Laila! I was really happy with the natural bridge shot. I want to find more pretty ocean views so I can take more long exposure images!
It sounds like you have been having an amazing time. What a beautiful portrait of your friend and the one of the children so cute but like Suzanne said wow the bridge is amazing x
This has been a great summer so far, Justine! I’m finally learning to relax and enjoy without worrying myself silly about going back to work!
That’s great to hear. I look forward to skyping soon when mine have broken up x
Yes, same here!
