Pittsburgh Event Photography Expert
I've photographed events in Pittsburgh for over 20 years. From venues to vendors I know this town. I also know how to deliver the photos you need. When you want a partner for your event hire my team and I.
Make your event a succeed and get photos that document that success. When it comes to events, trust is critical. There are no do-overs. That means it's critical to hire an experienced professional like myself. Be certain to make sure you're hiring an event photographer that knows what you need.

Pittsburgh Portrait Photography
There are a lot of talented portrait photographers in Pittsburgh. You deserve a photographer who listens, understands, and works with you. The perfect portraits require a photographer who understands this is a collaborative process. That collaboration begins with a conversation. With me it continues throughout the portrait session and doesn't end until you're delighted with your portraits.

Because you don't update your headshot portraits very often it's important that you love your picture. Creating photos that you love requires a commitment to understanding your needs.
Make sure you're choosing a photographer who you can connect with and who will listen to you. I promise to listen and to work with you to create photos that you will love. Together we'll develop a custom look and the perfect portraits.
