I am super excited to announce a move to a brand new studio for WDO Photography! My family and business is relocating from Shadyside to Swissvale. The new space will be open June 1st. Additionally, we'll announce an open house once everything is set up.
Studio and Education Space
The new space will feature studio and education space. This means I will be hosting classes at the new studio. Additionally, you are welcome to book your headshots or family portraits in the studio. Of course you can still get on-location portraits and family photos. That said, this space makes it much easier to accomidate those my mobile studio can't.
Swissvale Studios
I can't wait for you to see the new WDO Photography Studio in Swissvale. The address for this new photo studio is 7120 Harrison Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15218. Would you like a preview of the space? Do you want to book an early appointment? If so please contact me.
New Classes Coming This Summer
Once the new studio is up and running I will begin to host new classes. I anticipate those will start this summer. Be sure to sign up for my mailing list to be the first to know about them. You can also check my photography classes page to see a full list of upcoming classes.
