Sisters

Looking through my galleries you'll see that most of my subjects are 3 ft and under so when I was given the opportunity to photograph young adult sisters, I was so excited and a little nervous. Teens and twenty-somethings aren't likely to giggle at my jiggling keys or goofy noises but I managed to make it through, almost unscathed ;-). These girls are amazing and were so sweet with each other. Older sis was visiting home recently from teaching English in Nepal. Younger sis was headed to Honduras on missions work. Brave girls with big hearts. I feel very fortunate to have been able to capture some shots of them together before the go their separate ways again.







Thank you girls!

Goodbye to the G Family

I had the pleasure of photographing this family back in June on what was actually their last day in Pittsburgh. While we were wandering Phipps outdoor garden, movers were packing up their house to move to the mid-West. I feel so special to have been able to spend some time with them on their last day here. They are a beautiful and loving family and Pittsburgh will miss them.



This little one is a doll baby and I'm hoping her mama brings her out to me again to photograph someday. Such a cutie!



Big brother and sister were so good as well and eager to help with their baby sis.




Mama and her babies. It doesn't matter how old they get, they're always our babies.



I wish you all the best in your new town G Family!

Baby C!

It's been quite the year for babies I'm loving it. When you're getting plenty of sleep, it's easy to start missing that baby smell and when your kids only stop moving to sleep, it's easy to miss that sweet baby cuddle. So that's a little bit of why I love what I do. Getting to hold these little ones is so special to me and then to be able to capture these precious moments for mom and dad... :-) I just love what I do.

This little guy was 6 weeks old, with wide eyes that were eager to take in everything. I had the pleasure of photographing big sister last year when she was about 8 mos old and now as a toddler, she's loving being big sister. I couldn't resist snapping a couple of just her in addition to all the shots of her little brother.







Thank you G family for letting me photograph your beautiful children!

Summer Time Changes

I've been contemplating when to post this but now that it's July, I think it's time. There will be big changes at the end of this month for me and my family. We moving out of Oakland (the city) and heading to the North Hills (the suburbs). It's sad that we'll no longer be walking distance to the library, the museum and of course Dave & Andy's but it'll be so nice to have a little more space and a little more quiet.

How does that affect Jodi Walsh Photography?

Well, for now, I'm completely booked for July so I will not be scheduling more sessions for this month. Also I'll be taking the month of August off. We're moving out of our current house at the end of this month but the new house won't be ready until the end of August so we'll be in limbo for some time. It's not exactly the best way to manage a business but it's also not too bad because we get to spend time with our family in NJ and with my family out in Derry. I'm still crossing my fingers that the house might be finished ahead of schedule :-) because I'd much rather be setting up my new house even though lounging by my mom's pool is a happy alternative.

Other than the change of address and the complications of the actual move, nothing about my business will change. I will continue to travel into Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas to provide beautiful photos for my clients. I will also be keeping up with email and hopefully posting more pics from our adventures moving.

And in September, I'll be back with a Back-to-School special...I'm thinking possibly a mini-session morning but details will follow sometime in August :-)

Now, I just hate saying no to people so if you are interested in pictures, please contact me in September when I'll be able to say yes again :-)

I've really enjoyed being so busy this year and meeting new clients! You guys are the best and I hope that the new location will give me new opportunities to share my photography with others as well.
