Meet your photographer
Hi, I’m Kate — the owner and lead photographer at my studio. I started my photography work because I believe a real headshot can change how you feel and how others see you. I love meeting new people and hearing their inspiring stories. When you come for a session, we create a friendly, relaxed space where you can be yourself. My motivation comes from seeing the spark in a person’s eyes when they realize they finally look like themselves. I pour my heart into every session, ensuring that every detail, every smile, and every expression tells your story. It makes me happy when my clients see themselves in the pictures and gain confidence.

The length of a session varies based on individual preferences and needs. I offer packages of 30, 60, and 90 minutes to accommodate different requirements. Additionally, I may provide complimentary buffer time to ensure we capture the perfect shots without feeling rushed.
-
On the day of your session, you'll receive a link to an online gallery where you can select your favorite images. Once you've made your selections, I typically deliver the retouched photos within three days. If you need them sooner, please let me know, and I'll prioritize the retouching at no additional cost.
-
Your satisfaction is my top priority. To ensure you receive the best possible images, I encourage you to review the retouched photos upon delivery, as they represent my professional standards and artistic vision. If you're not completely happy with the final images, we can schedule a follow-up session or discuss adjustments to achieve the perfect shot. Please refrain from judging the quality based on unedited or raw photos, as they don't reflect the final product. This approach ensures that the images you receive are polished and meet both your expectations and my professional standards. If, after these efforts, you're still not satisfied, I can always offer a refund—no questions asked.
