Missy Timko Photography

What better way to jump 🏊‍♀️ back into Instagram posting than with this series of portraits of world-class swimmer tearing it up on her home turf at ! Though she spent most of her senior year swimming in the city, she is proud of her school, and we were thrilled to be able to shoot there. Rena showed off her silly side (and her sick retro Nikes!) with a late summer session at Hartwood Acres. She had just committed to the week of our shoot, so we took the last photo in a special spot to mark the moment. I’ll be watching for you in 2024 and beyond!

If you have a moment, please fill out my 2023 planning poll. Finish all the questions, and I will send you a $50 gift certificate toward your next headshot or full-length family session!

You’ve been on LinkedIn. What is the first thing you notice when you click on someone’s profile? That’s right, their profile picture. A professional, polished headshot can help you stand out and make a big difference in how people perceive you online.

There's nothing quite like the joy and laughter of siblings! Captured this brother and sister running towards me, having the best time in front of this beautiful wooden barn. The natural light and shallow depth of field really brought out their expressions and made for the perfect candid moment.

This adorable little guy was just enjoying the moment while schooling the adults around him on all things math.

Did you know that in addition to individual headshot sessions at our Mt. Lebanon studio, we can also come to your office and help you upgrade the visual appeal of your business? There is a different satisfaction to seeing our work come to life in telling the story of another business and its people, versus, say, that of a mom looking at pictures of her newborn. The good news is that we are looking to expand our corporate clientele in 2023, so if you or someone you know needs an upgrade, let's talk!

In addition to being very cute, this happy little guy is in the running for "Most Amenable 1 year old at a Photo Shoot".

From what we could gather, these two were having discussions about choreography in the days prior to their shoot. This may have been part of that routine (with some improvisation using the props on hand).

Here we have one genuine smile and one 'faking it for the camera'.

Today is Thursday which is also the day we take headshots in our Mt. Lebanon studio.

Happy Thanksgiving from Missy Timko Photography! We hope your holiday is filled with wonderful friends, family, and food!

Check out this gorgeous extended family group we shot at Washington's Landing in October! We think they did a wonderful job with coordinating their clothing palette, and we got SO lucky with the beautiful color on the trees and perfect weather on our shoot day.

This type of shoot, with multiple family groups from four states, takes a lot of coordination and planning, and we are so grateful for Barb for making it a seamless process for us.

Updated headshots for me and Jeremy. We wanted to embody our own style for headshots, and I think we nailed it. Jeremy got to play photographer, and I felt like he did a really good job coaching me! Thanks for the great hair 💇‍♀️
What do you think of our new shots?

How good does look in her new headshots? 🤩 She has a milestone birthday coming up later this year, and we think this mom of four looks incredible!

We are personally SO grateful to Wendy for helping my (Missy’s) brother invest in local real estate for the past few years. She has been *very* patient with us! Wendy is a top agent at and works with residential and commercial clients. She also founded a company that specializes in managing rentals for investors, so her insight has been invaluable as we have searched for investment properties.

Lebo friends: can you guess where each of these portraits was taken? I love the uptown vibe in the background!

Here is a recent 20x40" custom wall art installation (right) compared to the mock-up we provided the client at their ordering appointment (left). Do you notice the photoshop magic that transformed the initial portrait into absolute perfection? Installation is included when you purchase three or more pieces of wall art or an impact portrait like the one pictured - we have all the tools and skills to install tricky pieces... this is not a DIY situation!
