IT’S NOT OVER… until it’s over. and this is one team that will not give up. WOW! what a game. i must admit that when the pens went down 3-2, i turned off the game and went to bed. the buzzer blasted too long and too loud and all the red sweaters cheering and celebrating was more than i could take. i was so sad. 
so you can imagine how shocked 
i was to wake up to the announcement of GAME 6!
i love these guys.
GO PENS!
i really love these guys.

A fellow photographer, Cindy Mills asked about how to set up a Registry, so I thought I’d post our cards here for her and anyone else to preview.
Our registry is driven by our Gallery & Boutique, and we automatically register every client. Registry gifts may be applied to coverage, albums or prints before the wedding and albums and prints, or any product, after the wedding. It’s really simple. Brenda does an amazing job of keeping track of everything. If you need a code, just send us an email! (For photographers, we use PicturesPro’s Photocart)
For brides and grooms…
It’s really important to let people know that you are Registered and that you want Gifts of Photography. I know how hard it is to let people know that you want them to get you something, so this is where your family and friends come in!!! Pass the word! We are always happy to provide you with Registry cards free of charge. Ask your bridesmaids or maid of honor to contact us for cards for your shower invitations if you need more than we will automatically send, or if you would like some for your parents to spread the word with. We find that a lot of people get together and go in on a larger gift from the group. Just let us know that you need cards! You can drop us an email or just give us a call ~ please leave your name, address and the bride and groom that you are calling about and we’ll get the cards to you. And brides, feel free to pass this blog post on if you aren’t sure how to ask… i would be delighted to know that my friend was registered for something that i could get ~ easily, in any amount and sent directly to them!
send your email to: photographer@bellissimaphoto.com if you need cards. This has inspired me to post something on our website home page, too. So i’ll be updating that as soon as i can!
OH! and here are our cards!

Now i have to get ready for the yard sale!!!
~ciao for now!
a bit of a re-run, but worth it! there are 42 houses participating! WOW! come out to the sale ~ it will be Saturday, rain or shine, from 9am to 2 pm. I have some high end items, including camera equipment, and Coach bags! Don’t worry, I’ll be accepting credit and debit cards.
the Mom’s Club of Sewickley will be sponsoring a
you know, a GIANT neighborhood yard sale!
You can get the details here, and benefits the Child Health Association of Sewickley.
NOW, the best part, will be my STUFF for sale, and Brenda will be bringing down some stuff, too. (And we have good stuff.) I’m actually going to offer my motorcycle up for sale this year – unless it sells before the curb crawl. yes, my harley davidson is available. anyway, i thought i’d tell you about this with plenty of notice. i’m sure it will be a great success – sewickley is a great neighborhood! I thought I’d add a photo from a wedding that we photographed in Sewickey, since all posts deserve a photo!
I am so excited to be able to share Alissa and Mike’s guestbbok with you! I just love this one. I was feeling particuarly creative and added questions for the guests to answer. With lots of guests at this celebration, this book had a few blank pages for additional signing room.
Just CLICK HERE or on the engagement photo, below to see the design!
There are a few photos on our home page of Alissa and Mike’s First Look. Their Moving Pictures will be online shortly, so stop back!
~ciao for now!
I can’t wait to show you this guestbook! You’ll just have to wait until after Saturday, since it’s a surprise for their guests…
Alissa and Mike are getting married this weekend!
Congratulations!

this is awesome!!!
Janel and Alexander stopped to pick up a gorgeous large print today and somehow itsdeductible.com came up. So, once they were on their way, i signed up. this is a fantastic program. i donate a lot of ‘stuff’ and a little cash, and since it doesn’t seem to be very much, i don’t keep track of it. well, i filled it in for this year so far and – WOW - i’ll be keeping track this year!
It’s FREE and you don’t have to buy anything. Of course you could keep track yourself, but this little gem will also calculate values for the items you donate. Check it out!
thanks Janel & Alexander!!
