Pittsburgh Headshot Photographer Reviews

I had such a phenomenal experience working with Chad Isaiah Studios. Chad was incredibly welcoming and professional. He made getting the photos fun and his process allowed for immediate feedback from me to help him understand exactly what I was looking for in a headshot. I highly recommend his studio to anyone looking for a professional headshot. I've had my photo taken professionally for work many times and I can honestly say that this was one of the best experiences.

E.P.Chief Experience Officer

Chad is very talented, professional, and accommodating. For those of us who don't particularly like to be in front of the camera, he has a way of putting you at ease before and during the shoot, getting you comfortable with the process while guiding you through narrowing down outfits, accessories, and the photos he's taken. I came out of this with a few photos that I actually feel great about without having to be talked into them. I'll definitely refer Chad to anyone who wants to up their profile using a professional headshot.

J.S.VP, Consultant

Chad is awesome and so fun to work with. I've worked with other headshot photographers and it was awkward and painful. My experience with Chad was the complete opposite. He knows how to make the experience quick, fun, and painless. I would highly recommend Chad to anyone that wants a great experience and a headshot that looks professional and natural. Thank you, Chad!

E.W.Chief of Staff

I've never been someone who enjoys having my photo taken, but my husband is much more relaxed about it. Chad made us both feel comfortable and confident from the start. I also had my hair and makeup done with Gabe, and the two of them work so well together - the whole experience was seamless and enjoyable. Our headshots turned out amazing: natural, professional, and truly "us." Highly recommend!

W.M.Healthcare Operations Leader

K.S.Chief Human Resources

I recently had professional headshots taken - something that usually fills me with anxiety. I've always been camera shy, to the point where just seeing a lens pointed at me can feel overwhelming. That all changed thanks to Chad Isaiah! From the moment I booked the session, every step was seamless: clear instructions, helpful prep tips, and thoughtful guidance on what to bring. Chad even took the time to review my outfit options and offer genuinely great suggestions. What truly stood out was Chad's ability to create a relaxed, welcoming environment. His blend of professionalism and lighthearted humor had me laughing more than posing - and those genuine moments made all the difference. The final photos didn't just capture my image - they captured ME. I couldn't be happier with the results.

M.Z.Manager, Global Performance

My prior view on a headshot photo was that it was something you had to do but not necessarily something you wanted to do. My experience with Chad completely shifted my view. Not only is he a talented photographer, but he makes the session feel like you are simply hanging out with a friend. It was easy, fun, and my review of the shots he got without any touchups looked fantastic! I would recommend Chad to anyone looking for a new headshot that will look great but also be an easy/breezy experience!

The session was efficient but never rushed, and Chad gave great direction while still making sure the photos reflected my personality and profession.

Chad did an absolutely phenomenal job. From the moment we arrived, Chad was welcoming, patient, and genuinely invested in making my son feel comfortable and confident. His warmth and care created an environment that felt more like a collaboration than a photo shoot.

I had met Chad at a networking group and as much as I liked him as a person I can't say I was particularly excited about getting new headshots because I always feel so awkward in front of cameras like that and I feel like they never capture me or my personality. Turns out I was just working with the wrong photographers. I cannot recommend Chad highly enough!

L.G.Assistant Vice Chancellor

Before working with Chad Isaiah, my headshot experiences were often unpredictable, lasting five minutes or less with little to no input on the final result. However, my experience with Chad was entirely different. His customer service demonstrated that he is a great listener and knows how to make the session fun. From the beginning, Chad texted me to see if I had any questions and shared what to expect. Upon arrival at his studio, I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm. The fun atmosphere, complete with your favorite playlist and an engaging photographer, ensures you not only get a fantastic photo but also enjoy the entire experience. I highly recommend Chad for your headshot session!

Chad reached out prior to our session to inquire about any specific concerns or preferences I had, making sure everything would run smoothly.

It's been 15 years since I had my first "professional" headshot taken at Walmart. I wasn't sure what to expect from a professional photographer with an in-house studio. Chad was very easy to work with and helpful in picking out which outfit and jewelry would work best for the headshot. Chad made me feel relaxed and had me do some goofy expressions which helped me feel more comfortable. I was able to review the photos and select the ones I liked with the opportunity to get back in front of the camera to take more. Self-esteem for me is always a challenge, so it was nice to get to see a variety of photos and it turned out there were many good ones to choose from! The way Chad placed the lighting really made my eyes pop and my skin look bright! I enjoyed my time with Chad and would recommend him to any professional seeking an updated headshot!

Something I didn't think about when starting my company? Getting a professional headshot. Even when people told me I needed one, I kept putting it off. Honestly, I just didn't want to do it.

Walking into his studio, I was super nervous, but within minutes, it felt like I was just hanging out with a buddy. Chad made the whole process easy, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Chad made the headshot photography session a fun and painless breeze by joking around, taking breaks and getting to know me enough to produce a picture reflecting the best of me, not a perfect, unrecognizable photo.

Everyone commented that they had a great time and the sneak peeks of their pictures looked fantastic. I'd highly recommend Chad to any and all friends, colleagues, customers, etc.

J.P.Chief Revenue Officer

Before my session with Chad, I dreaded headshots - or any photographs of myself, for that matter. However, from the first phone call to the end process for myself and my team, Chad was able to put me at ease. He and Gabriel (an incredible makeup artist who is also available) even made the process enjoyable! I would recommend Chad to anyone in need of headshots for themselves or their team. I can't wait to update our website and materials with the new images.

A.D.Licensed Therapist

I had some recent headshots taken by others that were decent, but not quite what I was looking for. After seeing Chad's work for a colleague, I decided to reach out and schedule headshots for myself and my team. The booking process was incredibly easy, and Chad was very responsive. Each team member was able to find a time that worked for their schedule. The photo experience itself was excellent. I brought a few outfit options, and Chad helped me choose one that would photograph well and also felt authentic to who I am. He created a relaxed and comfortable environment, and he had me review the photos throughout the session so we could make adjustments and ensure we captured the best shot. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for professional headshots.

As a person who generally hates having their photo taken, I am beyond thrilled with how my photos turned out. Chad made the whole process fun and relaxing. The photos turned out amazing and I will definitely be using them at every opportunity - LinkedIn, work profile, maybe my Christmas cards. If you are in need of some amazing photos, I highly recommend contacting Chad. You will not be disappointed.

I had my headshot session with Chad and the entire experience was outstanding. His studio is beautiful and he is genuinely such a great human being. I felt completely comfortable with him and his ideas, guidance, and energy made the whole shoot incredibly fun. I absolutely love the photos I chose. He really knows his craft and you feel like you are in the best hands from start to finish. Gabriel did my hair and makeup and his work was fantastic. He understood exactly what I wanted - very natural and clean - and he delivered it perfectly. You can tell they both care deeply about their work and the people they work with.

Chad was amazing! Normally the photographer gives vague instructions and works to take only a few shots to choose from, while Chad gave rapid detailed adjustment suggestions that resulted in many photos to choose from! He also had a speedy format to narrow the photos down to the last two or three to make an easy final choice. 10/10, would recommend.

I was nervous about getting professional photos taken, but Chad did an excellent job of making me feel welcome and comfortable. The experience was enjoyable and the final photos exceeded my expectations!

H.T.Consultant

As someone who has always dreaded having my photo taken, I was a little anxious (and skeptical) going into my session with Chad. I quickly realized those feelings were unwarranted. Chad immediately put me at ease with his warmth and authentic interest in my goals. His makeup and hair artist, Gabriel, did a great job of highlighting my features and downplaying areas that I was feeling insecure about. Chad made the experience fun from start to finish. He put on my favorite music, helped me curate looks and knew exactly how to elicit angles and expressions that led to optimal photos. He is unabashed in his attempts to lighten the mood and is full of silly quips and questions throughout the session. Never did I think I would be faced with so many great photos that it would be difficult to choose just a few, but that is exactly what happened. Chad is worth every penny. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a fresh, professional headshot. I left his studio feeling uplifted and excited to receive the final product.

I'm still in awe of how beautifully Chad Isaiah captured the essence of our charity event. His eye for detail, emotion, and connection transformed what could have been just another event into a story - one that truly reflected the heart, purpose, and people behind it. Chad has an incredible ability to see beyond the lens. He captures not just images, but moments - the laughter, the gratitude, the courage, and the quiet impact of coming together for a cause that matters deeply. From the first shot to the final edit, his artistry brought to life the spirit of the evening - a night filled with hope, compassion, and community. Chad, I'm so grateful for your talent, professionalism, and genuine energy. You didn't just document the event - you elevated it.

Chad was a pleasure to have photograph a conference for my organization. His work is top-notch and he was very professional, organized, and worked hard to get all of the shots we needed (lots of running around). Highly recommend.

B.D.Events Manager

We recently hired Chad Isaiah Studios for our annual Tradeshow and Technical Symposium, and he far exceeded our expectations! He was able to capture all of our 80+ speakers, in addition to getting fantastic shots of the exhibit hall, receptions, etc. We received multiple compliments on the facial recognition feature offered, which really impressed our attendees! I would highly recommend Chad and would gladly hire him again.

M.M.Senior Operations Manager

He was awesome. Captured photos that showed the true vibe of our meeting. Loved that photos were sent directly to me that I was in by signing up. Better than having to look in our magazine to see if maybe you were caught in a picture. I would highly recommend!

L.B.Medical Technologist

Chad was incredible! His setup was top-of-the-line and he was so professional - and fun! Every person who attended the AMT conference seemed to enjoy his personality, and he brought out the best in all of them! Would definitely recommend him to anyone.

N.R.Medical Technologist

Absolutely amazing! Great photos, great planning, great ability to react and adapt to live situations on the fly! Also easily the best infrastructure for attendees to get their pictures! His setup is so easy and interactive that it truly does make everyone want to interact more and "create moments" while living in the moment because you feel the important things are being documented without having to pull your phone out halfway through. They have your back, and they help ensure that your memories become keepsakes that you can look back on after the fact.

I had the pleasure of attending the AMA Pittsburgh's Marquee Awards, where Chad was the event photographer, and I was thoroughly impressed with his professionalism and skill. His ability to capture the essence of the event was remarkable. Each photo tells a story, filled with the excitement and elegance of the evening. Chad's attention to detail and his knack for capturing candid moments added a unique touch to the memories of the night. All special moments were beautifully captured. The photos turned out spectacular, with perfect lighting and composition. Highly recommend Chad for anyone looking for top-notch event photography!

M.P.Small Business Owner

From the moment I walked in, Chad made the whole experience effortless. I usually dread having my picture taken, Chad immediately put me at ease with a warm welcome, natural conversation, and gentle direction. He has a knack for making you forget the camera is there while still capturing your best moments. The session itself was fun and relaxed. Chad guided poses with clear, encouraging cues, adjusted lighting and angles professionally, and kept the energy upbeat the whole time. He also takes the time to get to know you a bit so the photos feel genuine, not staged.

S.P.Senior VP

I had such a great experience with Chad Isaiah Studios - not only did I receive a great experience getting my own headshot, but I volunteer for the organization that Chad and Gabriel provided free headshots at our booth for our industry tradeshow. What a great experience! They are not only professional with the photography but also provided hair and makeup if you needed it! They made our booth fun, stayed there during all of the show hours and drew people to our cause! You will not regret using Chad Isaiah Studios for any of your photography needs!!

H.W.Executive Director

Wonderful photographer! Great addition to our industry event.

E.B.Conference Attendee

We hired Chad for our headshot luncheon at the Monroeville Area Chamber of Commerce - Chad made this an AMAZING EVENT! Several members dreaded having their photos taken, but it turned out to be a FUN experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Chad for your event - or an individual session. Chad has a genuine, great personality paired with amazing talent. We plan to make this an annual event!!

A.C.Director of Sales, Marketing

Chad Isaiah Studios came in to do headshots for approximately 100 women at a corporate conference. They were efficient, personable, professional and made me feel like a doll while prepping me for the photos. Their touchups are definitely worth it - it really elevated the photo!

N.D.Program Manager

Chad and team were OUTSTANDING! I've never had a headshot experience like this before. The prep, the lighting, the fun - all to get a really awesome candid professional shot. Our group of 120 women were so impressed! Chad, Gabriel - THANK YOU for an experience, not just another photo!!

N.M.Global Manager

I was really nervous to get my headshot taken, but Chad helped me to relax and made the experience SO much fun; the picture came out fantastic! I would definitely recommend him to a friend!

J.Actor, Dancer

I had an amazing experience working with Chad for my headshots and can't recommend him enough! He was super easy to get in touch with, communicative, and flexible with scheduling. I also really appreciated how upfront and transparent he was about all pricing from the start. The session having unlimited time and outfit changes was fantastic and allowed me to relax and really explore different looks without feeling rushed. Chad made the entire shoot feel fun, easy, and seamless - I never felt awkward or unsure of what to do. On top of that, I received my photos back in less than a week, and they turned out absolutely incredible. I'm so happy with my photos and would highly recommend Chad to anyone!
