    Choosing a photographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make during your wedding planning. It's so important to find someone you can trust to capture the big and small moments of your wedding day, and someone who makes you feel comfortable at ease.

A look back at summer 2011

September 8, 2011

Labor Day is over, school is back in session and fall is right around the corner. Yay! I recently shared some highlights of our beach vacation, but thought I’d also share some of our other favorite summer moments. Enjoy!

Leo’s end-of-soccer-season picnic. That’s him in the blue shirt in the middle of the throng of girls (and one other boy).

Jonas’s first date with Addie.Way over the stroller weight limit at the Pittsburgh Zoo.

Baby birds in our front yard! They’re gone now and the nest is vacant.Random cuteness.Cousin quality time.My niece Kate turned one!After Kate’s birthday, Matt and I spent two days alone – no kids – in Boston.This kind of sums up our time in Boston – great food, great weather and mimosas.Cooling off in the fountain at South Side Works. These boys were also photographed by Justin Merriman, and his photos appeared on the Tribune‘s website.My birthday – I requested that we spend the day at Ohiopyle. First we went to Laurel Caverns.And then we cooled off in the Youghigheny.Not this part obviously – here we just enjoyed the view.Finally – in August, we were pretty excited to catch a little bit of the filming of the final Batman movie. Can’t wait to see it next year!

Pittsburgh Fireworks (not 4th of July, but in the spirit)

July 4, 2011

I’m currently in Boston enjoying a couple kid-free days with my husband, but in the spirit of 4th of July, am sharing a few fireworks photos. I shot these back on June 25th, when Pittsburgh held a big Skyblast and Huey Lewis concert in honor of Heather and Bill’s fabulous destination wedding. Okay, maybe not in their honor, but we can pretend, right?

Since Heather and Bill had their ceremony on the Gateway Clipper, and the boat dropped us all off at PNC Park, at the end of the night I got on another Gateway Clipper boat to be shuttled back over to Station Square where I’d parked my car. That gave me a great view of the fireworks and these photos.

It’s pretty difficult to get a great fireworks photo without a tripod – and I was not going to be carrying a tripod around all night – so I had to make do with leaning on the railing of the boat.

undefinedAs the boat was moving, I decided instead to focus my attention on non-fireworks, like these amazing reflections in the Allegheny River.undefinedAnd this downtown building looking kind of demonic from reflected red fireworks.

undefinedHappy 4th of July!
