Alena’s Studio Headshots in Pink
We were creating headshots for Sewickley Academy’s senior school musical and Alena asked me to keep these portraits as well. I’m in the process of creating a wall art showroom in the studio and these portraits will be a great addition.
Keep an eye for the musical action shots in early March. I’ve just been backstage and the decorations promise to be stunning!
Mishon Levine in Sewickley Academy’s musical Fiddler on the Roof
The last actor for Sewickley Academy’s ‘Fiddler on the Roof” without whom the whole musical would be lacking its crucial ingredient - the live sounds of a violin. What a performance. Bravo, Mishon!
Brooke Menzock in Sewickley Academy’s musical Fiddler on the Roof
It feels like yesterday when we produced this headshot for beautiful Brooke for the Sewickley Academy’s Fiddler on the Roof senior school musical that showed just days before the lockdown.
I can’t believe she’s already a senior this year. Stay tuned for a blog with her senior pictures.

I still have 3 headshots to share from before the pandemic. Here’s my favorite portrait of Claire that she selected to represent her in the Fiddler on the Roof musical program at Sewickley Academy.
Actor’s portfolio for Tristan Heavner
Tristan needed just one headshot for his theater auditions. We talked about the roles he was aspiring to get and worked to produce the look to match his dream roles.
Alena plays the violin
We really enjoyed the end-of-term Christmas concert organized by Leah Givelber of Center of Young Musicians at Edgeworth Club in Sewickley.
Hearing Alena perform her beautiful and complex musical pieces she’s preparing for an ABRSM diploma exam got us thinking that it’s probably time to upgrade her violin.
So we paid a visit to Phillip Injeian, a master violin maker, one of the many hidden jewels of Pittsburgh. He helped Alena navigate through a variety of instruments and choose the right fit for her and he even performed a short piece for us saying that “you shouldn’t trust a mechanic who doesn't drive a car himself”!
Thank you, Phillip, for this memorable experience.
Alena’s Studio Portraits in Colorful Light
Here’s another set of portraits we created together with Alena. This time she wanted to experiment with the gelled lights and different colors. I love the mysterious and thoughtful mood of these photographs, it reflects Alena’s inner world. Which one would you select for the larger wall art?
