We enjoy photographing weddings and watching two  people start a new family;  young couples with their brand new babies;  young families busy with activities; parents of teenagers steadying themselves to let them loose alone; (yeah, that pretty much describes me!) and finally, proud grandparents with growing clans.  We are constantly reminded how quickly each of these stages pass.

It takes a couple of hours at least to do a wedding blog post and I’ve been using every free moment to work on our album projects, so we can order as many as possible before the deadline.

Keep an eye out for Sarah and Blaise (The Omni), Jeana and Lee (The Carnegie Music Hall Foyer), Manisha and Bernie (The Omni), Emily and Jack (Oglebay) and Jenny and Jeff (The History Center), our 5 last Saturdays. We’re also really excited about Ellen and John’s wedding tomorrow – their ceremony is at St. Stanislaus in the Strip District with a reception following at The Pennsylvanian. It’s going to be so much fun!

Many of our clients aren’t aware that every wedding collection includes our portrait-for-life program with no portrait art fee. We’ve had a lot of clients use the program for maternity and baby portraits along with family portraits, especially around the holidays.

We absolutely love babies and love to see our wedding clients with their new bundle of joy. Stacy and Marcus were married in May of 2005. They had a destination ceremony in Hilton Head and a reception in Pittsburgh. We just photographed Bradyn on his first birthday.

Bradyn is so cute and what great expressions! They’re having a blast with him – it’s something hard to describe until you have your own and we remember like it was yesterday, when David was born – and Nina and Kate.

Bradyn is a cruiser and is one active little guy – it looked like a hurricane went through the studio after he left. I’m going to start calling him Bam Bam – he managed to break one of our indestructible toys that made it through 3 kids and lots of our little clients.

It’s really heartwarming to see the joy on Stacy and Marcus’s face – it’s always something new and exciting with every new stage.

We worked with our graphic designer Anne Lehman to create a really cool birth announcement – Anne has done some amazing wedding invitations for our clients and has won international design awards for some of our brochures.

With all the sadness and heartache that has wrought, there has been one constant bright spot – Visits from Lydia.

Six years after what we thought was the birth of the last of my mother’s 21 grandchildren, along came this pleasant surprise! With most of my sister’s & brother’s kids being closer in age to college than kindergarten, we were expecting a bundle of joy to come from the next generation!

We are having a blast with her!

Lydia and her Mom, Marie went back home to Wisconsin (land of the cheeseheads, but we’ve forgiven them) after a long weekend visit. We sure do miss Lydia. Oh, and Marie, we miss you too!

Suzy and Manuel are so nice. We’ve kept in touch since their wedding day and have become good friends. I photographed a maternity session during Suzy’s pregnancy and am thrilled for them at Maya’s arrival. I can’t wait to see her!

Until you have your own, it’s impossible to describe what an amazing experience it is to see your baby after all those months of wondering.

I wish you guys all the best with your new bundle of joy. Congratulations!!
