This week is incredibly exciting for the whole family: we got to meet Mike’s new nephew Jonah! He decided to come out and see the world a couple of weeks ahead of his due date, so it was a bit unexpected :) Both the mom and the baby are doing great and they’re at home already. Jonah is tiny and absolutely adorable!!! :)

We didn’t have a chance to photograph him yet, but here’s a picture by his daddy, Alex Peyzner:

On another note, my most favorite little girl in the whole world turned two today! How did it happen so quick? It seems she just was learning to hold her head not that long ago… I’m so happy and at the same time a bit sad that I cannot be with my family to celebrate her birthday. Here are a couple of pictures of Dasha I took while visiting them in Russia about a month ago:

Have a great upcoming weekend everyone!

Middle of the summer is the busiest time of the year for us, it’s absolutely crazy in our office! To keep the creativity flowing, this year we decided to take a break and go somewhere far from Internet, Photoshop, and phone calls. We’ll be unwinding in Yosemite this week and will be back on Friday, just in time for an awesome wedding in Sonoma!

We’ll see you guys soon :)

We had an amazing time last week visiting Sequoia National Park. It was just a 3 day trip, but it was so inspiring and re-energizing. This park is located just a bit past Yosemite and it’s right next to King’s Canyon.

Little did we know that our reserved campsite was at 7k feet elevation! That meant it was in the 30’s at night. While a bit unexpected, we did enjoy having a warm campfire each evening and hiking through the amazing nature during daytime. A few shots from our trip:

This 2,100 year old Sequoia is supposed to be the largest living organism on our planet:

It’s amazing how small we looked among these giants:

Loving the fire at our camp:

Hope you had a great weekend!

Mike
