From Seattle law firms to tech, real estate to artists and corporate teams, I specialize in creating headshots that are vibrant, elevated and HUMAN. Photographing in Seattle, Bellevue and beyond.

A great headshot should not only look, but feel like it’s really you. Not overly posed, not like a boring passport photo, and definitely not with a forced smile. I photograph professional headshots for Seattle-area corporate businesses, creatives, real estate, tech teams, law firms, artists and humans of all kinds who want headshots that feel honest, elevated and show you as the real live cool human you are.

You do not need to know how to pose. You do not need to be “photogenic.” That’s my job. I’ll help you with expression, posture, angles, energy, and all the tiny in-between adjustments that make a photo look the best possible. Whether you need a standout image for your LinkedIn profile or cohesive team headshots for your company, I guide you the whole way so you can relax, feel completely comfortable, and walk away with images that make you go “Wow, these are great. Like, REALLY great.”

Headshots for Every Kind of Professional and Creative, serving Seattle and the Eastside

I photograph an intentionally wide range of people, and for a good reason: Great headshots don't belong to one industry.

  • Corporate Teams & Tech Professionals: Clean, confident, LinkedIn-ready. The kind of headshot that gets you taken seriously in a Seattle job market.

  • Actors & Creatives: Your headshot is your audition before the audition. I get the casting world and know how to capture range, personality, and presence.

  • Brokers & Real Estate Agents : Warm, approachable, trustworthy. Because people buy from people they feel good about.

  • Entrepreneurs & Personal Brands: You ARE your brand. Let's make sure your photo shows people why they want to work with you.

  • Law Firms & Professional Teams: Consistent, polished, on-brand headshots for your entire team. I come to you or you come to the studio.

  • Academics, Healthcare, Non-Profits: Thoughtful headshots for people doing important work.

What will the headshot session process be like?

We’ll start by meeting at our photoshoot location (anywhere from Ballard to South Lake Union, to Bellevue or West Seattle and beyond) and talk through your goals: How and where you’ll use the photos, what you want the images to say about you, and what level of polished versus relaxed feels right for your brand or profession.

During the session, I’ll guide you the whole way—posing, micro-adjustments, getting genuine expressions organically, and dare I say, it will be FUN. My goal is for you to feel taken care of, not thrown in front of a camera and left to fend for yourself.

By the end, you’ll have a gallery of images that feel natural, confident and with enough variety to use everywhere from LinkedIn and company websites to speaking gigs, social media and press features.

“Danielle delivers on all fronts. She has a natural eye for color and light, and her communication is seamless - almost to the point that you forget you're being photographed at all. She's high-energy, fun, makes the whole headshot experience feel easy and delivered photos I loved that ALL felt organic and real.”

Frequently Asked Questions for Headshot Sessions

Seattle headshots for professionals, creatives and teams

  • It’s easy to stress and overthink this, so I start by saying to arrive wearing something that makes you feel great! I also suggest bringing a bag of options with form-fitting tops, including outfits with a burst of color or jewel tone that brings out your eyes and complexion. For those who wants a slimmer look, avoid white and pastels unless paired with a darker blazer or jacket. For general good ideas: A blend of long and short sleeved shirts, blazers and jackets for layering, v-necks and scoop necks, scarves, hats, dresses, cool boots and other embellishments are always welcome and encouraged. We want you to feel good in what you bring and to feel like your best self—that’s most important to have fun with this photo shoot.

  • Transition lens glasses are a no-go. They will instantly look like sunglasses and then we can’t see your eyes, and we really want to see those. Avoid tanning lotion unless you want to be an adorable oompa loompa. Try to avoid extreme patterns or logos, shirts that hug above your collarbone, avoid pastels/white/horizontal stripes if you’re wanting to appear slimmer, or thick jewelry so they don’t distract from your face (unless loud is part of your personal brand, then by all means, go for it).

  • Book with a non-refundable deposit to reserve your session time ($200 toward the balance via Quickbooks ACH or CC for a 3% processing fee), and the session can be transferred up until 72-hours prior to the scheduled session).

    We choose a spot, from Ballard to South Lake Union to Bellevue to West Seattle and beyond. Then, we have an awesome photo experience with lots of awesome photos. After I receive your paid invoice, I’ll email you a very cool, online gallery of hi-res Jpegs (RAWS are not a service offered) for easy downloading, sharing and printing and you have full usage licensing for the images. Turnaround time for headshot sessions is within two weeks. Rush service for a faster turnaround may be purchased upon request.

  • Remember this important piece of info: The whole point is to look like yourself in these photos. Anyone should be able to look at the photo, then at you, and instantly say “Yes, that’s them and they look fabulous!” If you know a stylist or are great with your own hair and make-up, that’s wonderful! If not and you’d like a little boost, I've had clients happy with my fabulous colleague Sarah Rose or in a pinch, Swink Style Bar in Seattle for that naturally accented, polished look of slight emphasis on eyes, blush and lips. The same thing applies to hair—no need to transform yourself for this. You know better than anyone how it normally looks good, so keep it in the realm of how you’d normally have it styled. We want you to look like YOU, on a very good day. :)

  • Don’t worry, I’ve got you! There’s no pressure to be photogenic, or to magically know what to do with your face. The posing is naturally guided to get headshots that are organic, so we capture honest expressions and the essence of your personality. My approach is strong direction, fun connection, and giving you headshots that look like the best version of the real-live cool human you are.

    I know having your headshots taken can feel stressful and “I don’t know what to do! I am THE MOST unphotogenic and awkward!” —so I promise, you won’t be. It’s MY job to make you comfortable and look like your best self. You‘re going to be great. Just show up being you, and I’ll take care of the rest. This will be fun.:)

  • Yes, all the time! I photograph corporate headshots and team photos for Seattle and Bellevue area businesses, including individual team portraits, executive leadership headshots, group images and environmental office photography.

  • First and foremost? It should be FUN. I take this fun very seriously. I’m collaborative, I’m curious, my superpower is putting people at ease and catching the real You in the camera. The headshot session should feel more like we are casually hanging out while amazing photos are organically happening. So the result is getting very polished photos of you looking like the very alive and cool human you are.

  • Headshot sessions can happen in Seattle, Bellevue and the surrounding area, outdoors, at your office, or in a setting that matches your brand and how you plan to use the images. I also frequently use my beautiful co-working space at The Collective Seattle in South Lake Union!
