Seattle Headshots – Your Story Matters

“I just need a headshot.” I hear this phrase a lot, and it always makes me smile. If it was just a headshot, you would do it yourself without thinking twice. I get it. You’re thinking of a simple head-and-shoulders shot, and that’s it. Since you only need a photo of your face, it’s less complex than something else might be – so it’s “just a headshot.” That’s fair.

You care about your headshot, and you wanna feel proud to share it. After all, in a way your headshot is your whole story, conveyed in an instant. You can never be fully understood from a photo alone, but if it’s done poorly, you can be misunderstood.

What makes a great headshot? 

A captivating headshot doesn’t just happen; it’s meticulously crafted. Seattle headshot photographer, Lara Grauer is on a mission to encapsulate your essence in the most remarkable portrait possible.
