4th of July weekend - Amy Perl Oakland Photographer

Every year we go to Clearlake for the 4th of July. I can't remember the last time I wasn't there for the 4th...but these past few years I have been venturing into town for the Carnival/the locals with my camera. I didn't go too crazy this year with the photos, but enough to satisfy me. We also made smores, swam, played, relaxed, watched fireworks. I am not including photos of all those activities, but here are a few (ok more than a few, but still, just a few).

Avi Rose - Amy Perl Oakland Photographer

This morning (Isaac was out at a camp out) Avi woke up, and I swear she must do head spins in her bed when she sleeps. Her hair is AMAZING when she wakes up. I had to do a before and after. The before photo is right after breakfast. Waffles with chocolate chips. Thus the chocolate on the face. The after photo is right before we walked out the door to go to camp.

Cutie.

Texas - Amy Perl Oakland Photographer

Ah, Texas. I went to Austin to visit my friend Bonnie Berry, www.bonnieberryphotography.com, and to travel the area in search of good photos...I think I found a few. :) It was fun traveling with another photographer who understood my need to stop for the seemingly most mundane of spots...This just fed my fire a bit, and now I need/want to go do more road trips! For me, the experience of the unknown, that's for me. If only I could convince my husband and kids how much fun driving around in 100 degree weather looking for (boring) things to take photos of is. Hmm..that may take me a bit longer.

I had a hard time editing, so I decided to put A LOT of photos up. This in only about 1/3/ of the total ones that I picked as my favorites!
