ABOUT US
Welcome to Our Studio
OUR STORY STARTS WITH YOU
Pittsburgh Luxe Studios started from a desire to make others feel amazing through photography and bring more positivity into this world. What ensued was a movement of self-love and beauty. You’ll hear us say all the time ‘it’s so much more than taking pictures’ – and we truly live by that. Our clients become friends and family and the journey doesn’t stop after the shoot is done.
Our clients tell us all the time that after their shoot their confidence skyrocketed in all areas of their life – home, relationships, even in the workplace. These transformations are what we aim to achieve and creating a space where you feel comfortable enough to let your true light shine through is one of the most amazing things for us as a business.
We can’t wait to get to know you and show you what you are capable of.
WHO WE ARE
Meet Our Team
We all come from different backgrounds and walks of life, but we love what we do and we are proud to be able to bring your confidence and beauty to life.
Hey Gorgeous! I’m Emma.
I’m the owner and lead photographer of Pittsburgh Luxe Studios.
When women of all shapes and backgrounds walk through my studio door, I sense their hopeful hesitation. They sit with my hair and makeup artist and we chat about life, who they are, and what they hope to get from the day. I live for the moment after the first few shots when I turn my camera and show them just who they really are. They light up! When the session ends and we reach the moment of the big reveal — where for the first time, they fully see themselves made up and dressed in something that makes them feel incredible — I watch the “aha” moment happen in real time. I love seeing women transform into the powerful selves they already have inside, hearing them say, “That’s me?” and walking out having had a experience that seeps into the rest of their lives.
Capturing photos is capturing a memorable moment in time that brought someone joy. I still look back at my own photographs in awe of who I am, and I’m grateful to give other women that permission slip and special moment of embracing themselves.
Outside of being a published and award winning photographer, I’m a mom, volunteer, and community builder. I spend time outside of the studio having fun with my son and finding ways to support and connect women in my hometown of Pittsburgh.
