Our Approach

With over 19 years of experience, Seattle Headshots has developed a method to get the best possible photos of you.

We keep things relaxed

A great headshot starts with feeling comfortable in front of the camera. Most people aren’t used to being photographed for an extended period of time, so we keep the experience relaxed, conversational, and easy.

We take time to get to know you, understand what you want your photos to communicate, and guide you throughout the session. Again and again, clients tell us how comfortable they felt during their shoot, and that comfort shows in the final images.

We shoot in outdoor natural light

All of our headshots are photographed outdoors using natural light. It creates a softer, more flattering look and gives us the freedom to work with a variety of backgrounds, colors, and textures throughout the session.

The Pacific Northwest gives us an incredible palette to work with, from clean architectural backgrounds to greenery and more organic settings. We move between locations at an easy pace, giving us time to create different looks while keeping the session relaxed and natural.

Professional retouching, included.

Every final image is individually color corrected and professionally retouched to create a polished result that still looks natural and like you.

We’ve spent years refining our color and retouching process, with careful attention to skin, tone, detail, and consistency. The images you see throughout this site are representative of the finished work you can expect from your own session.

Experience in Television and Film

Our background also includes years working in television and film production, giving us firsthand experience with how images are evaluated and used within the entertainment industry.

That experience has shaped the way we approach headshots, from composition and expression to color, contrast, and the subtle details that help keep the focus where it belongs: on you.
