Pittsburgh Photographer
The greatest benefit to being a Pittsburgh photographer is you. The amazing people I meet and photograph right here in Pittsburgh make this career so rewarding. I've traveled a bit and worked in other cities and I have to say that Pittsburghers are the best.
I've been given blankets, cookies, cakes, an entire meal at the Udipi Cafe when I did photos of them years ago. I have clients who hired me once years ago for a wedding or special event who still send me cards during the holidays. Truly I feel blessed to call myself a Pittsburgh Photographer.
During the pandemic I began to teach a lot more virtual photography classes. Since things have opened up again I've taught more in person classes. Teaching photography classes near Pittsburgh has given me the opportunity to meet even more great people.

The Pittsburgh Photography Community
One last thing that makes Pittsburgh great is the Pittsburgh photography community. I've been lucky to have gotten to know so many photographers near Pittsburgh over the years.
I truly do consider myself lucky to be part of the Pittsburgh photographer's community. In fact, over the last few years I've had dozens Photographers near Pittsburgh refer clients to me. Often, these are event photography jobs and the referring photographers don't provide event photography near Pittsburgh. I also have the pleasure to referring jobs to other photographers in Pittsburgh.
