About

Hey — I’m Josh.I live just outside Pittsburgh with my wife Erin, our three daughters, and our two mini-labradoodles. They’re the center of my world and the reason I’ve always cared so much about preserving real moments and meaningful memories.For over 15 years, I ran a successful photography business, working closely with clients and photographing more than 280 weddings along with hundreds of family, newborn, engagement, and portrait sessions. That experience taught me how to work calmly, adapt quickly, and help people feel comfortable in front of the camera — especially on days that matter a lot to them.Like many small business owners, the COVID pandemic forced a major professional shift. During that time, I transitioned into education and am now a teacher in the Fox Chapel Area School District. Teaching has reinforced many of the same skills that made me a strong photographer in the first place — patience, preparation, clear communication, and connecting with people in a genuine way.I now take on limited photography projects when they’re a good fit — small weddings, family sessions, or creative work that values quality over volume. If you’re looking for someone experienced, easy to work with, and steady when it counts, I’m always happy to talk and see if it makes sense.No pressure, no sales pitch — just a conversation.
