I’m back… after a week’s vacation in Florida.  It was wonderful to see vivid colors again, especially the water and bright blue skies.  And of course the warmer weather was a treat as well! 

Just after the New Year, Emily and Mark had an elegant evening wedding at Heinz Chapel, with a fun reception at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association (PAA).

Just married:

Congratulations, Emily and Mark! 

Adorable Elena is 14 months old, and very confident already!  She loved exploring the studio and it was fun photographing her.  The blue hippo was her favorite discovery:
