sneak peek for the P family {San Jose, California, family photographer}

Here's a sneak for one of my dearest friends! Have enjoyed every time we meet up with their growing family. 

I loved that my thoughtful friend picked out this particular location. Her hubby and her met here several years ago so it's an extra meaningful place for them, and now, for their kids.

monthly quote blog hop - july {san jose, california family photographer}

It's time for July's edition of Monthly Quote Blog Hop.

This month's quote fits summer to a T and I couldn't love the quote more.

“Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.” – Henry James

We've been having so much fun this summer and we've still got a few more weeks left! As much as I love schedules during the school year I do like a little bit more relaxed pace when it comes to summer.

Catching a bee in action on my lavender plant,

swimming,

 swimming,

and more swimming,

learning a little sewing (and no, she was NOT happy about me taking her picture!),

 and finally, an unforgettable road trip to beautiful Oregon.

head over to the talented Kim Ebert's beautiful blog to see how she interrupts summer.

sneak peek for mr. i's first birthday party {san jose, california family photographer}

This little man turned the big 0-1 recently and like any good birthday party (especially the first one) you have to celebrate in style.

Thank you to the super super sweet and good looking family for letting me be a part of their special day!
