Headshot photography is really fun, and Seattle Photographer Lara Grauer, affectionately known as “Seattle Headshots,” is undoubtedly one of Seattle’s best headshot photographers. I know you might think it sounds awful, but it’s not. Here’s how it works: you fill out our form, and we have a chat on the phone. Then, we schedule a meeting and discuss what you’re looking for. You can pick out a few outfits, and if you like, we can arrange for a makeup artist to join the session. So far, not so bad, right? When the session day arrives, everyone relaxes, and we start taking photos. Initially, the lighting might not be perfect, and you might feel a little nervous, but that’s absolutely okay. I’ll ask Art to tell a joke, and either he won’t remember one, or he’ll tell a joke that’s so unfunny, you’ll have no choice but to laugh. As you get into it, before you know it, the session is over.

The best part is when we meet up again, and I show you your photos and you’re like, holy cow, these are amazing. Then you show them to your friends. Then, you post them to LinkedIn or add them to your press kit. Next thing you know, the payoff. The phone starts ringing…

    My Own Headshot Session

    I’ve actually never had a set of professionally shot headshots done. I was “That Guy” for sure, with a selfie that I took in my kitchen back in Chicago roughly ten years ago. Since then, my “headshot” has typically been a selfie, usually funny, probably poorly photoshopped. How bad? What can I say? What can…
