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.

Sondra & Wes - engaged

I've been wanting to work with more adults lately but haven't had many opportunities. It seems that many adults, myself included, suffer from severe camera-shyness. While I love filling my website and blog with adorable little ones, as an artist, I like variety. So when I learned over facebook that a classmate of mine was engaged, I quickly sent her a message offering to do engagement photos for them.

We met up in Schenley Park near the ice rink and overlooking the city just before sunset. It was beautiful and they were such a sweet couple!

Good Sports

I got to do my first "urban" shoot with a great family that I know from church. Mom wanted shots of her boy and girl but wanted more of a city feel instead of just sticking to the parks so we met at Schenley Plaza and walked around Oakland stopping at the fountain, the library and of course, the remaining wall of Forbes Field.

Such good looking kids and they were so pleasant even though I had them hiking quite a bit. It was a really fun shoot and I hope I get the opportunity to do it again!

He's One!

Finally catching up on my blog. June has been quite a busy month but I love it- getting to meet new clients and to revisit some that I haven't seen in a year. I love what I do and feel so blessed to be able to share it with others!

Here's a little guy I got to photograph just before his first birthday. He was the happiest little guy and always ready with a pose and a look.







And a few different shots-

CANCELED----Mini-Session Morning: Daisies

Sorry, Due to the rain this morning, I'm going to have post-pone the mini-session. It's funny, when looking at the forecast last week, I specifically chose this day because it had the least likely chance of rain. Guess the weathermen can't get it right all the time.

Baby H!

A good friend recently had baby #4 and I was so excited to be able to have the opportunity to take pictures of this little one. So Memorial Day morning, I was at their house and ready to start. This little one was so adorable and for the most part pleasant. Dad was holding her when I got there and I loved that he whipped a hair brush out of his pocket to fix her hair for the session. Too sweet!

We did a few shots on the front porch and then went inside for a bit. Then we went up to big sister's room and that was the magic room. Pale pink walls perfect for the little pink bundle to curl up in and that's what she did. But I did still manage to get a couple shots with her 2 older sisters and her big brother.








I hope you enjoyed these too!
