A Cinematic & Timeless Senior Photoshoot at the Academy Theatre in Meadville, PA

If you’re looking for senior photography in Pittsburgh & Erie that’s more than just the standard outdoor portraits, Eden’s session at the Academy Theatre in Meadville, PA is the perfect inspiration. She has been acting on this very stage since she was old enough to walk, so bringing her senior photoshoot here was a full-circle moment.

I love capturing editorial-style senior portraits in locations that feel meaningful to my clients. From the grand stage lighting to the deep red velvet curtains, this session had everything—drama, elegance, and a timeless feel.

Why the Academy Theatre is a Dream Senior Photoshoot Location

If you love the performing arts, vintage aesthetics, or cinematic photography, a historic theatre like the Academy Theatre is a dream backdrop for senior photos. The intricate gold details, classic chandeliers, and rich stage curtains added so much depth to every shot.

This is why I always tell my seniors—pick a location that means something to you. Whether it’s a theatre, a favorite coffee shop, or the city streets of Pittsburgh & Erie, your senior session should feel like you.

A Nostalgic Return to My Hometown

I always love driving back to my hometown for photoshoots. It’s nostalgic and really heals my inner child, tbh. There’s something about capturing moments in a place that holds so many memories—whether for my clients or for me personally.
