OK, I confess,\u00a0I adore\u00a0the name Josie. \u00a0My favorite niece is named Josie (to be joined any day by a baby sister, name TBD). \u00a0All Josies are adorable and special, so let’s just agree on that!<\/p>\n

Little Josie N. was so cute! \u00a0She smiled the entire time, and seemed to love\u00a0being photographed. \u00a0As an “almost-ready-to-walk” 9-month-old, we\u00a0grown-ups\u00a0had\u00a0to hustle just to keep her out of\u00a0the leaves and rocks. (She wanted to eat them!), but this kind of fun and upbeat\u00a0session is\u00a0a joy\u00a0for everybody.<\/p>\n

And here’s something else I wanted to point out: \u00a0Look at Josie’s\u00a0adorable Chinese children’s outfit,\u00a0which\u00a0reflects Mom’s heritage. \u00a0I always love it when\u00a0families make choices for clothing and locations\u00a0that showcase their values as a family,\u00a0their\u00a0heritage, and traditions that are deeply\u00a0meaningful\u00a0to them.<\/p>\n

See this chair? \u00a0Josie was actually pushing it around! \u00a0(I predict an early walker.) \u00a0She loved going around and around the chair, babbling the whole time, and making happy little baby sounds. \u00a0Josie is not only agile and active, but also clearly one smart little girl!<\/p>\n

The day of the shoot\u00a0was a beautiful Fall day, October 5, and Mom and Dad chose to have the photo session near the walled garden in beautiful Mellon Park<\/a>, the Shadyside home to the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and Phipps Garden Center. \u00a0(Little known fact: \u00a0After dark, visitors can see\u00a0the night sky twinkling from the lawn.\u00a0Even in the daytime, identifying stones are hidden in the grass, bearing the star’s name and\u00a0a unique inscription. \u00a0Click here to see the Mellon Park Star Map.)<\/a><\/p>\n

Many thanks to Mom and Dad–Chanel and Eric–and most of all to Baby Josie for a very fun and beautiful morning in\u00a0Mellon Park, and for the opportunity to add new photos\u00a0to Josie’s Baby Plan portfolio.<\/p>\n

Josie is on the Powder Blue Photography Baby Plan, so I was able to take pictures of her as a newborn. \u00a0So beautiful!<\/p>\n
