Pittsburgh College Graduate Portrait Sessions
Graduating from college is a significant achievement, whether it's with a Bachelor's degree, Master's, or even a PhD, and is worthy of documenting. While some schools may offer a quick headshot in your cap and gown, I recommend considering a portrait session that not only provides cap and gown portraits but can include professional headshots, family photos, and/or photos with your friends, lab mates, or significant other.
It's about taking an hour to walk around campus and document this accomplishment that you'll be able to look back on for years to come.

What colleges do you photograph?
Pittsburgh is the home of many great universities, and I love getting to photograph students on campus at the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon, Chatham, Point Park, Robert Morris, and La Roche. We have some truly beautiful campuses in this area. I'm also happy to travel to a number of colleges outside of the Pittsburgh area. From Gannon up in Erie and Slippery Rock a bit south to Indiana University of Pennsylvania and St. Vincent College to the east. I believe it's important to be able to wander campus, visiting the common places but also finding the special parts of campus that formed your academic story.
Around Pittsburgh, I've been to:
University of Pittsburgh
Carnegie Mellon
Chatham
Point Park
Robert Morris
La Roche and many more
Outside of Pittsburgh, I've traveled to:

Grad Sessions
Grad sessions are a perfect way to celebrate another major milestone. The sessions are a combination of a senior mini session and a simple headshot session, providing you with portraits in your regalia as well as a headshot to get you set up for your next chapter.
Grad sessions can be for a single grad or can include friends and/or family. Typical sessions are done around campus, but can also be done downtown or in other locations.

- No Pressure: Even with a shorter timeframe, sessions are relaxed with no pressure to perform but always with a little guidance to help you look your best in front of the camera.
- The Changing Tent: No need to change in your car or try to find a public restroom. My pop-up changing tent makes outfit changes so much faster and easier.
