Pittsburgh Photographer

Seeing the best in you . . . one frame at a time

“I’ve always been fascinated by movement—of the human body, the wind through trees, the evolution of time, the cascading of emotions as they flow through us.”

– Anita Buzzy-Prentiss

A few highlights along my photographic journey:

Bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts from Allegheny College (with concentrations in photography, documentary filmmaking, dance, vocal and theatre performance).
Post-graduate Photography studies at Pittsburgh Filmmakers.
Constant immersive study of photography to this day. Always evolving, learning and growing in my art and craft.
Photos have been published in so many places I have stopped keeping track. Besides, my clients’ successes are what’s most important to me.
Awarded “Best Photographer” in The Knot weddings magazine for 10+ years.
Recipient of the 2021 Pittsburgh Professional Women’s Influential Leadership Award.
Pas De Deux Dance Photographer’s Conference 2022 Award Winner.

I spent my youth as a dancer, and most of my adult years riding horses, practicing yoga and martial arts, and teaching as a Pilates trainer. I’m constantly inspired to explore and recreate this sense of the felt and the visible, as well as the unseen.

My studio, Buzzy Photography, was established in 1996 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to serve those who want compelling and exquisite photos for personal branding, portraits and special events. I honestly get a rush every time I step into this space with a client, and after leading hundreds of photo shoots, I’m certain that my clients feel this “buzz”, too. I intentionally create a comfortable, confidence-inducing atmosphere where people can be themselves, experience self-love, embrace appreciation from their loved ones, and leave feeling on top of the world.

I am thrilled to use my talents to promote self-esteem and happiness through visual imagery. In my Buzzy Vibe Tribe, I love mentoring other creators in raising the frequency of their personal joy through the art of photography and realizing their highest creative potential.

At the same time, I’m always pushing my own artistic boundaries and venturing into new mediums. Check out my two books, Porchraits and Waiting in the Wings.

Okay, enough about me. I can’t wait to get to know you!
