A Well-Deserved Vacation
This September we finally managed to go on vacation. Between my family, work at Pitt Medical School, photography business and grad school I haven`t been able to take a real vacation in a few years. Since Irina and I are expecting an addition to our family in December (another girl!), we figured that this might be our last opportunity (for a few years) to go on vacation. On a friend`s advice we chose an all-inclusive resort in Riviera Maya, Mexico at the Barcello Maya Resort. It was so nice to relax for a week and not have to worry about anything. I`d love to go back for a few more weeks:)

My baby sister is engaged.
Holy crap! My baby sister is engaged. She`s getting married in South Carolina next March; I just snapped a few shots of her and her fiancee Roger when they came to Pittsburgh for the SuperBowl weekend.

A trip to Ohiopyle with my family
Today I took a trip to Ohiopyle with my family. In a way, it was an experiment. We have been having a hard time traveling with Daniella, and we wanted to see if she could survive 3 hours in the car and another 2-3 hours on the trail. She passed with flying colors!

My little angel
I am like the proverbial shoemaker without shoes – I photograph weddings, bat and bat mitzvahs, engagement and portrait sessions every weekend and spend hundreds of hours editing photographs for my clients. Alas, when it comes to photographing my own daughter, if it weren`t for my wife, we wouldn`t have any photos:). I took this photo a few days ago – I came home from an engagement photoshoot and saw my sweet little angel sleeping in her swing. Luckily, I had my camera hanging around my neck, so I snapped a few shots before she woke up and showed her true nature by peeing on my shirt.
