Kelli Slavonic · Pittsburgh Portrait Photographer

Hey there! I'm Kelli.

I'm a Pittsburgh-based portrait photographer helping families preserve the tenderness and magic of childhood.

I live in Mount Lebanon with my husband and our three busy young boys. Most days, life looks like taxiing kids around town, cleaning up constant messes, and keeping up with an endless rotation of snacks. It's chaotic and repetitive... and also full of moments I never want to forget.

Before photography, I worked as a pediatric nurse, caring for medically complex and neurodivergent children. This experience shaped how I work now: with patience, flexibility, and the ability to meet each wonderful family exactly where they are at.

My work is rooted in connection — never perfection. My purpose is to capture the moments that so often get lost in the daily chaos, so you can gaze back on them one day fondly and remember that these truly were the good old days.
