Meet your photographer

Hi, I’m Kate — the owner and lead photographer here at the studio. I started photographing graduates because I believe this milestone deserves more than a quick snapshot. It’s about capturing a moment of pride, transition, and everything you’ve worked for.

I love hearing each person’s journey — the late nights, the big dreams, the unexpected wins. When you come in for your graduation session, we create a space that’s relaxed, warm, and personal — so you can feel fully like yourself.

My favorite part? That moment when you see your photo and say, “That’s me.” The spark, the confidence, the joy — it’s all there. I pour my heart into every session to make sure your photos reflect not just how you look, but everything you’ve accomplished.

Let’s celebrate this moment — the real you, right now.

FAQ

  • While my Santa Clara studio undergoes renovations, I'm delighted to welcome you to a cozy, dedicated space within my home, just a 5-minute drive from Santana Row. You'll receive the exact address in your confirmation email. If you prefer, I can also come to your location for a small fee.

  • You can book directly on the booking page or drop a message to hello@pacifica.studio for questions or a custom quote.

  • ​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.
