Pittsburgh Family Photographer | Josie 9 month family session | Mellon Park Pittsburgh

OK, I confess, I adore the name Josie.  My favorite niece is named Josie (to be joined any day by a baby sister, name TBD).  All Josies are adorable and special, so let’s just agree on that!

Little Josie N. was so cute!  She smiled the entire time, and seemed to love being photographed.  As an “almost-ready-to-walk” 9-month-old, we grown-ups had to hustle just to keep her out of the leaves and rocks. (She wanted to eat them!), but this kind of fun and upbeat session is a joy for everybody.

And here’s something else I wanted to point out:  Look at Josie’s adorable Chinese children’s outfit, which reflects Mom’s heritage.  I always love it when families make choices for clothing and locations that showcase their values as a family, their heritage, and traditions that are deeply meaningful to them.

See this chair?  Josie was actually pushing it around!  (I predict an early walker.)  She loved going around and around the chair, babbling the whole time, and making happy little baby sounds.  Josie is not only agile and active, but also clearly one smart little girl!

 

The day of the shoot was a beautiful Fall day, October 5, and Mom and Dad chose to have the photo session near the walled garden in beautiful Mellon Park, the Shadyside home to the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and Phipps Garden Center.  (Little known fact:  After dark, visitors can see the night sky twinkling from the lawn. Even in the daytime, identifying stones are hidden in the grass, bearing the star’s name and a unique inscription.  Click here to see the Mellon Park Star Map.)

Many thanks to Mom and Dad–Chanel and Eric–and most of all to Baby Josie for a very fun and beautiful morning in Mellon Park, and for the opportunity to add new photos to Josie’s Baby Plan portfolio.

Josie is on the Powder Blue Photography Baby Plan, so I was able to take pictures of her as a newborn.  So beautiful!

Here are some additional shots from Josie’s photo shoot:

Oh–and one last thing–here’s my cute little niece, Josie, photographed in my studio last year. 🙂
