Hello there! I’m Lexi Shapiro, the owner and photographer of POSE PGH. My professional photographic journey has been a long one, spanning over nearly two decades. My love of photography, however, reaches much further into the past when I began asking my mother to borrow her camera in order to get that perfect shot as early as age 5, and the rest was history.
While my career began on the fashion and editorial side of the industry and my work is still photographed maintaining that aesthetic, I truly have found my passion and my calling in life working with children. I love making them happy and giving them the sort of treatment, pampering, and portrait session that’s normally reserved for adults. (Why should the adults get to have all the fun?!) I also love creating work that holds so much meaning to families and will be around and on their walls for years and years to come. Even after the little ones grow to be not-so-little anymore, you can look back nostalgically on those frozen moments in time, and for a minute, you’re transported right back there to that wonderful day you spent together at the studio with me. I find so much happiness and fulfillment in my ability to give that to you.
When I don’t have a camera in my hand, you can find me doing an okay job singing 90s alternative at karaoke, in the kitchen upping my game in the hopes of someday being MasterChef-worthy, or snuggling with my spoiled cats and my husband while watching RuPaul’s Drag Race.
I can’t wait to meet you and your beautiful family!
