Pioneer Square
Seattle studio
I've had several dozen corporate headshots taken over the years, and I've never enjoyed the process or been as satisfied with the outcome as working with Rachel. JS John Sage Managing Director, Pivotal Ventures
What really stands out is her collaborative, easygoing style. You see results right away on her laptop, so you can tweak whatever needs tweaking. I'm not one who enjoys getting my photo taken, but I had a blast! CA Claire Acey
From the moment I arrived, she made me feel completely relaxed and comfortable. Being able to review everything together and walk out with two fully polished headshots felt like such a thoughtful, efficient, and collaborative process. SI Suzanne Infantino
Her methods create stunning photos where I look like me, only better. Rachel put me completely at ease. KH Kathryn Helde
Great price Working with Rachel was one of the best decisions I've made for my business. I kept putting off getting professional photos done, and I honestly didn't know what to expect going in. Rachel made the entire experience so easy. It took me a little while to warm up to the camera, but she coached me through the session so naturally that I didn't even realize I was getting comfortable until I already was. I never felt rushed or awkward, just good vibes the whole time!! What really sets Rachel apart is her collaborative process. You actually get to sit with her, review the photos together, and walk through the retouching so you leave with images you genuinely love. I've never had that with a photographer before. Her studio in Pioneer Square has so much variety that I walked away with headshots, lifestyle shots, and branding images all from one session!! When I saw my favorite photo, I immediately updated my LinkedIn, my website, everything. It was the first time I actually enjoyed looking at close-up portraits of myself, and it made such a difference to my confidence. If you've been going back and forth about booking - stop overthinking it! Alina Nadoyan
Two Key Elements Of A Great Headshot
What You Will Learn
In this short video, I share the two key elements that make the difference between a good headshot
and a great one. Understanding these fundamentals will help you feel more confident during your
session and walk away with images that truly represent your best self.
Whether this is your first professional headshot or you have done this many times,
these core principles apply and will help you achieve outstanding results.
The 2 Essential Techniques
1. Time: Building Comfort and Detail Focus
Taking time during your session is essential to create a relaxed environment where you feel comfortable and natural. This allows me to evaluate your expressions and capture authentic emotions, check and adjust details like outfit fit and posture, build rapport with you, and identify ways to minimize imperfections subtly. The outcome is comfort and confidence that translate into a headshot you are excited to share.
2. Wardrobe: Ensuring Photographic Success
Clothing significantly affects how your final image appears. Bring multiple options of basic, well fitting pieces such as suit jackets, blouses, and shirts. During the shoot, we try garments with tags on to assess how they photograph. We return clothes that do not photograph well, ensuring investment in flattering attire only. The goal is to find clothing that complements you and enhances the overall image quality.
Why This Approach Works
The combination of time and wardrobe selection leads to a session that feels enjoyable and productive.
This collaborative process results in highly satisfying headshots where you feel confident, comfortable, and proud to share your photos. Many clients feel excited to return for future sessions after seeing their results.
Do You Need More Than A Headshot?
A headshot is a strong starting point.
But if you need images for your website, LinkedIn, social media, press,
proposals, or a launch, one photo may not be enough.
A branding session gives you a fuller image library - headshots, lifestyle images, process photos,
details, and behind-the-scenes moments that feel natural, professional, and easy to use.
