Not so unusual for San Francisco, eh? Made for an interesting shoot aka shooting in full sun on the beach. But hey, after the streak of wet weather and reschedules it has been nice to have a spot of sun in the bay area. After our fun in the sun we headed to Bi-rite, the ice cream shop in Noe Valley for a few more pictures that I haven’t gotten to yet. Meanwhile, here is a sneak peek for the C family. Check out the gorgeous girlie that just couldn’t stop smiling!

This was R’s first ever camping trip so we thought it would be good to go someplace close by. We went with some friends which made the trip even more fun as R could burn off some energy with his little buddies. One of his newly learned activity was skipping. Check him out in action.

yeah…there they are! I am so not a Croc or character shoe lover and yet here we are with a pair of character crocs. :-)

On the way back, we stopped at Half Moon bay at my favorite chai place. The reviews aren’t kidding when they say it is the best chai on this side of Bombay. Not the over-spiced Starbucks type chai but perfectly flavored. Yes, I am guilty of being a chai snob and love Raman’s chai. I got to enjoy it twice as it turned out that I had forgotten my camera + purse out there and only realized the day after. How crazy is that?? I was so, so lucky that Raman had found it. My mind was in a bit of a fog after ingesting Dramamine on the windy ride back home from our campsite. On our return trip we got to spend a wonderful afternoon in Half Moon Bay. R and I went to Flying Fish Grill my favorite fish taco place to grab a bite and then have some fun at the beach.

Collecting feathers.

How can a castle be complete without feathers?

The victory jump!

Both are set with 60 diamond minutes. No reward is offered. They are gone forever.

I had a chance to photograph this amazing little girl on our vacation in SoCal. Her mom is an amazing photographer and we got to meet up for a little beach mixr. She is such an amazing subject and actually stays put unlike my five year old distracted boy! I am still catching up on posting from recent sessions and editing photos after coming back from our vacation. I should be getting in touch with you soon if you are a client waiting on proofs or prints. :-)
