Pittsburgh Senior Portrait Sessions
Senior year is crazy busy with so many things to do and celebrate. One of the first items on the to-do list is to plan and schedule your senior portrait session! Whether you just need a photo for the yearbook or are looking for a fun experience you'll always remember, I'm right here to help with planning and creating beautiful portraits to document this special milestone.
a portrait experience that truly
captures YOU!
Decisions: full session or mini session?
I've learned over the years that seniors all see their senior portrait experience in completely different ways and so I've learned that it's helpful to offer options. Some seniors want multiple outfits and locations to showcase their style or achievements (like the letterman jacket at the stadium where they run track and the dress with the fancy shoes downtown by the river).
But some seniors just want a couple of nice portraits without a ton of fuss.
In a culture where you can feel the pressure to do things just like everyone else, I'm here to say you don't have to do what everyone else does! My senior clients have the option to create the senior portrait session that fits best with who they are and what they want. Whether it's a full session with multiple locations and outfits or a short and sweet mini session at one special location, we'll create the session that fits you. Keep scrolling for more details.

kind words
"We are so delighted with our daughter's senior photos. Jodi was really flexible and patient with us as we had lots of questions even before the photo shoot. She made everything seem easy, and even in a busy location, made my daughter feel like the only one there. She not only captured the ideas we had for photos but also found many other beautiful moments we never anticipated."
~ Donna F.
additional info
- Styling and Makeup:
You have your own style and I know what looks great on camera. Together we'll work to find outfits and locations that fit your personality and interests to create amazing images that are uniquely YOU! (And Pinterest boards are always welcome for sharing ideas). Please email or text me photos of your outfits when you have them planned so that I can start visualizing your sessions. We can also plan a video chat to discuss outfit and accessory options. And while I don't provide hair and makeup, I'm happy to recommend some talented makeup artists and stylists if needed. - Pets are always welcome:
Our animal friends are part of the family too and we can definitely include them in your senior portrait session. Let me know during the planning consultation so that we can make a plan for how best to include them. - Creative, out-of-box ideas welcome:
Looking for a more adventurous flare to your session- an out-of-the-way location? a couture gown? including your best friends for a few shots? Just let me know your ideas and I'll do all that I can to make them come to life. I love getting creative with my senior images!
