EDITORIAL PORTRAITS
PORTRAITS WITH A STORY TO TELL. Maybe it’s the work you’ve spent years building, the art you’ve created, the people you’ve influenced, or simply a season of life that deserves to be remembered.
Editorial portraits give us the opportunity to create something more personal than a traditional headshot. We’ll bring together you, your environment, and the details that matter to you to create photographs that feel thoughtful, intentional, and distinctly yours.



- LOCATIONS
I love photographing people in places that feel like them. Your home, studio, workplace, favorite Pittsburgh location, or somewhere completely unexpected can become part of the photograph. These environments add context, personality, and another layer to the portrait.



- YOUR VISION

The more I understand about you and your vision, the more intentionally we can create together while leaving space for the unexpected moments that make a photograph feel truly yours.
Think about:
What do you want people to notice about you?
What are you passionate about?
What do you want these photographs to say?
- DETAILS THAT ADD CONTEXT
The things you surround yourself with can become part of the story. A favorite instrument. A collection of artwork. Your workspace. Something you’ve created. A meaningful object or even the people who are part of your world. A favorite instrument. A collection of artwork. Your workspace. Something you’ve created. A meaningful object or even the people who are part of your world. These elements can add context and personality to an editorial portrait without taking attention away from you. Sometimes they are the detail that makes the photograph feel unmistakably yours.



- KIND WORDS
“I saw your website and was impressed with your style. You are the perfect person for this assignment.”
