Summer went by in a blink! Here is a recap of the great people and places I photographed!
Half Moon Bay with mom - picked up fresh strawberries from a fresh produce shop and made mixed berry cobbler. It also happened to be National Lavender Day (July 9th) and without knowing, we made a visit to Half Moon Bay Lavender and picked up two lavender plants that are now happily growing in my garden :)
Celebrate Diana’s birthday with an Afternoon Tea. It consisted of a three tiered platter of finger sandwiches, salad, and an assortment of desserts such as fruit tarts and macarons.
We had three full pots of tea, but our favorite was mango/ passion fruit tea! We also gifted Diana a watercoloring set because it brings her calm and peace taking time to focus on art.
From Diana’s birthday, July 15th, she’s one month away from giving birth to my first niece!
Elizabeth Gamble Garden in Palo Alto was blooming with all sort of veggies, fruits, herbs, and flowers.
Mom posing next to beautiful snowy white Hydrangeas that were in full bloom.
If you look closely, the Hydrangeas are made up of what look like little butterfly wings.
Palo Alto’s farmer market with Jenylyn and Kimberly, and a delicious brunch catching up on life.
Watching Izzie and Ollie in Napa for two days :) Missed those kiddos! Featuring the Lavender Pool at Stanly Ranch, a beautiful, relaxing area surrounding by hundreds of lavender varieties releasing a calming aroma of sweet summer while sipping on lemonade by the pool side.
Though I only got to see Nadia for a few minutes and Odessa for a few hours, the universe reunited us in San Francisco.
The largest light installation for Pride in SF that went on for miles. It was quite incredible to see!
It’s funny how life takes us in different directions but always brings us back to the people who mean the most to us. #CalArtsFamily

Many more beautiful moments not photographed because I can’t possible photograph every second of my life… although I wish I could! Stay tuned for newborn photos of my baby niece, Willow the Pillow!
