PITTSBURGH SENIOR PORTRAITS

Senior pictures you’ll actually want to show people.

No stiff poses. No copy-and-paste sessions. No expecting you to magically know what to do in front of a camera.

Just colorful, creative senior portraits built around
who you actually are.

CLASS OF 2027 — NOW BOOKING

For seniors who want cool photos.

And parents who want to remember this version of them forever.

Senior year is weird.

You're making college plans, figuring out what's next, celebrating everything you've accomplished, and somehow your parents are simultaneously wondering how the heck you're already this old.

Your senior session should capture this version of you.

The athlete. The musician. The theater kid. The car person. The artist. The gamer. The person who lives in hoodies. The person who has been planning their outfits since sophomore year.

We'll make photos that feel like you now — and that your family is going to be really freaking happy to have twenty years from now.

“But I'm awkward in pictures.”

Perfect. Almost everyone tells me that.

You do not need to arrive knowing how to pose, where to look, what to do with your hands, or how to casually laugh on command like someone in a toothpaste commercial.

That's my job.

I'll give you direction the entire time, keep things moving, and probably make you laugh at me at least once.

The goal isn't to make you look like someone else.

It's to make you look like the best version of you.

Your session. Your rules.

Want Pittsburgh skyline? Let's go.

Flowers and dreamy golden light? Absolutely.

Sports uniform? Bring it.

Your guitar? Yep.

Your car? Obviously.

Four completely different outfits because choosing one aesthetic is impossible? I support this behavior.

We'll plan locations, outfits and ideas together so your session doesn't look like everyone else's senior pictures.

And if you have absolutely no idea what you want yet?

Also fine.

I've been doing this a long time. I've got ideas.

GET IN TOUCH

I've spent 13+ years photographing people around Pittsburgh, which means two things:

I know a ridiculous number of great photo locations.
You have to work pretty hard to be too awkward for me.

I love bold color, genuine expressions, creative lighting and photos that have some personality.

But more than anything, I want your session to be fun.

Because people look a whole lot more like themselves when they're actually enjoying themselves.

Hi,
I'm Katie.

“TOP PHOTOGRAPHER in Pittsburgh and beyond!! I found Katie by a web search, so did not know too much about her. We met by phone to plan our senior portrait shoot and she was organized, efficient, friendly, and a true joy to work with from the very first meeting. She guided us through the process with ease and perfection. She was both a calming and creative force. She took our vision for the session and enhanced it even further with outfit suggestions, locations, and feel. The final album is incredible, with so many photos of the highest quality and artistic perfection. We are beyond thrilled with the results and they exceeded our highest expectations. She is worth every penny and more. I cannot give any higher recommendation as a photographer and as a person.”
“There are not enough words to capture how incredible our experience working with Katie was. Katie exceeded out expectations in all areas to include professionalism, communication, timeliness, and photos that were out of this world. Our entire family cannot thank Katie enough for capturing our daughter's senior pictures in a way that cannot be matched.”
“She was incredible and her work speaks for itself (simply check out her online galleries). She made the entire experience from the initial consult to delivery of the final photos so easy. The evening photo shoot, which included two locations, four outfits, and even a red smoke bomb (for a really cool effect on the track), went off without a hitch. I think my son may have actually enjoyed it! I highly recommend Katie.”
“We had the best time during my daughter’s senior portraits session with Katie! My daughter had a few specific things and locations in mind for her portraits and Katie helped bring her vision to life! We couldn’t be more pleased with the finished results; we love her portrait style! I would recommend Katie to any families looking for quality senior portraits with a photographer who provides a friendly and fun atmosphere.”
