  • It’s simple! Reach out to us and we’ll schedule a free consultation. We’ll help you pick the best session for your style and budget, then secure your date with the 50% deposit (session fee + minimum collection + tax).

  • We’re a boutique family home studio in Pittsburgh that’s proud to be the top-rated senior photographer in the area on Google, with hundreds of 5-star reviews. What our clients love most is how we make the entire experience feel personal, relaxed, and fun. Eliezer has a real gift for capturing your true personality — whether you’re shy or outgoing — in a way that feels natural and artistic. Families often tell us the session felt more like hanging out with friends than a photoshoot, and the final images left them speechless. We take our time with every senior because we genuinely care about creating beautiful, timeless portraits you’ll treasure forever.

  • Every session includes full image rights (you own your photos), professional retouching, a private online gallery, one formal yearbook portrait with digital file at no extra charge, print credit and the ability to print your images anywhere.

    • Basic Studio: 45 minutes

    • Classic Studio & Outdoor Escapes: 2 hours

  • To secure your date, we require 50% of the session fee + 50% of the minimum collection, plus tax. The remaining balance is due on the day you choose your images.

  • Yes! Many clients start with the minimum collection and upgrade afterward once they see their full gallery. We also offer larger digital collections and beautiful Italian Album Collections with up to 240 images.

  • No worries at all! We keep a close eye on the weather and will reschedule your session if rain is in the forecast. Your session date is important to us, so we’ll work with you to find a new date that works well for both of us.

  • Great question! For outdoor sessions, we bring a private pop-up changing tent so you have a comfortable, private space to change between outfits. We also bring a cart to help transport all your clothing, accessories, and any other items from the car to the shooting location. This makes everything much easier — especially if you have several outfits! Just bring your clothes on hangers if possible, and we’ll take care of the rest.

  • After your session, we make the selection process really fun and stress-free! We invite you back to the studio where we display all your images on a big TV screen using professional photography software.

    This makes it easy to compare images side-by-side and see every detail. You get to choose your favorite images yourself — we never pick them for you. Every photo you see has already been carefully pre-edited by Eliezer so you can see his full artistic vision for each shot. You won’t see any blinks, closed eyes, or “bad” photos — only the best ones. We give you plenty of time and plenty of great choices so you can create the perfect collection.
