Friends & Family Photo Studio at the Carnegie Museum of Art

I’m excited to share that this season marks my second year capturing portraits at the Carnegie Museum of Art’s “Friends and Family Photo Studio.” It’s an honor to once again be part of the museum’s collective of talented freelance photographers, continuing a creative tradition that celebrates connection, art, and community.


Now in its fifth year, the Friends and Family Photo Studio has become one of Pittsburgh’s most anticipated photography experiences — offering families, couples, and friends the opportunity to create professional portraits in one of the city’s most inspiring museum spaces.


A Celebration of Art and Connection

Each mini session is designed to capture genuine moments of joy, laughter, and togetherness — all set within the beautiful surroundings of the museum. Whether you’re looking to update your family portraits, celebrate a milestone, or simply create a meaningful keepsake, these sessions offer a unique and personal way to blend art with memory.

Why It’s Special

As both a photographer and a Pittsburgh creative, being part of this project means so much to me. There’s something truly rewarding about helping families and friends see themselves as part of the artistic fabric of this city — surrounded by creativity, history, and beauty.


I can’t wait to meet new faces, reconnect with returning ones, and help you create something special this season at the Carnegie Museum of Art.
