Pacifica Studio

I had such a great experience getting my ERAS headshots done with Kate. She was very organized, clear with her instructions, and kept me updated throughout the process. The turnaround time for my photos was quick, and the studio was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Kate is talented, patient, and genuinely kind, which made it easy to feel relaxed during the session. She took her time to capture every angle I wanted and made thoughtful adjustments to make sure each shot came out perfect. The final photos looked professional, natural, and polished, and you can tell she takes pride in her work. I am really happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for quality professional headshots.

I needed a headshot on a budget so I dusted off my 8 year old Nikon, rubber-banded a napkin over its flash, and took timer pictures of myself until I got one in focus. I sent this picture to Kate for retouching and she got it done that day. Picture looks great, easy peasy, no notes!

Pacifica Studio does an excellent job with photography. Kate, the Photographer has an excellent way for making you and your party look their best, suggesting poses, and finding the best backgrounds. She is also very attentive to her clients requests. Her photos are very artful. Highly recommended.

Kate worked magic. She gave me exactly what I needed, a professional head shot, in only twenty minutes, for an excellent price. I cant recommend her highly enough. I drove an hour to get to her studio, and the value I received was well worth the trip.

Kate was such a joy to work with! She really knows how to use color and lighting to make everything look amazing. We honestly had no idea what to do, so we just let her take the lead and were so glad we did. Shes professional, easy to work with, and her pricing is very fair. Wed happily work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, professional photos.

Kate was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating. Her work was detail oriented and incredibly quick, and I appreciated that I got the entire portfolio of photos (and 3 excellently retouched). It was very easy to change outfits and she tried several different backgrounds based off my needs. Would absolutely recommend!

Kate is incredible talented! I booked the "A few good headshots package" for my upcoming ERAS residency application and couldn't be happier with the results. Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with, very professional, friendly and clearly dedicated to capturing the best possible angles and expressions. My session was on a Saturday and I received the final edited photos by Monday night!

I highly recommend Kate to anyone who is looking for high-quality, professional headshots!

After several disappointing experiences with photographers and a few failed selfie attempts, I was thrilled to discover Pacifica Studio online. Their website immediately stood outclean, professional, and filled with impressive examples of their work. Booking an appointment was easy, and the studios location near my workplace in Santa Clara was a huge bonus.

I chose the A Few Good Shots Headshot Package and was fortunate to work with Kate, who is truly exceptional. I brought in examples of headshots I liked (and didnt like), and she immediately understood what I was going for. Kate has a fantastic eye for detail and guided me through the session with confidence and clarity. She made the entire experience comfortable and even enjoyablesomething I never thought Id say about getting headshots!

The final results exceeded my expectations. I now have professional, polished headshots that Im proud to use.

I highly recommend Pacifica Studio to anyone looking for high-quality, personalized photographywhether you're a professional updating your LinkedIn profile, an executive needing polished corporate shots, or someone who just wants to look their best in front of the camera. Kate and the team are the real deal!

I absolutely LOVED working with Kate! She scouted out the perfect location for our shoot, and while I usually hate getting my photo taken, she made me feel so comfortable and confident during the session. She was very patient and kind, gave lots of posing direction, and was always looking for the best lighting.

She was very communicative throughout the entire process and delivered final images lightning fast. By far, these are my favorite photos I have of myself. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for headshots!

Kate was super easy to communicate with and answered all my questions leading up to the shoot. She gave super clear directions to her studio, was on time, and made the whole experience so fun and comfortable. The photos came out amazingI got all my pictures the same day, and the retouched ones just a couple days later! I'm very happy with how everything turned out :)

I highly highly recommend this Studio! We went there for my teen daughter's "A Few Good Shots Headshot Package". Kate (the photographer) was kind and thoughtful through the whole process. She didn't rush to just get the job done, but worked with her patiently the whole time, giving professional input and exploring different ideas. The turnaround was very fast (same day). Photos turned out amazing, and the retouch was excellent. We're very happy with the outcome and the experience. I'd go back to Kate when we want our next photos done!

Kate is beyond amazing! I highly recommend Pacifica Studios. She has such a great understanding of light, angle , pose and worked with me with interest and ownership for more than my alotted time. Im definitely coming back and wish Pacifica studios and Kate all the best.

I recently had my portrait taken by Kate at Pacifica Studios. It was a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Kate patiently took numerous photos of me in different poses and in different outfits. All of these photos were emailed to me so I could choose my ten favorites. These ten photos Kate painstaking retouched, even eliminating clothing wrinkles. Throughout the process the lines of communication were clear. It was easy to contact Kate via text and email. I was very satisfied with my 10 retouched photos that Kate printed for me. I highly recommend Kate and Pacifica Studios.

Kate did an excellent job taking photos for me. Her photography style is very natural and captures daily life beautifully. Although we booked for 1 hour, the session ended up lasting over 2 hours, as Kate made sure I was completely satisfied with the results. She was incredibly patient and attentive to my needs.

We explored multiple spots on the Stanford campus, and at each location, Kate took the time to find the best angles, considering the background, lighting, shadows, and overall composition. In the end, the retouch part is also very detailed and of great quality. I highly recommend her business to any potential customers.

Kate is an incredibly professional photographer! I needed a senior yearbook portrait and she made sure to carefully follow all of my school's requirements. I even forgot to bring a shirt, and she generously offered me one. Kate suggested different angles and backdrops, and her recommendations turned out to be spot-on. The final photos look amazing! Highly recommend her services!

Recommend Kate for your headshot needs! Messaged her on Yelp and she replied right away with estimate. She also followed up with me to schedule appt.

It is at her home studio and it was very easy and pleasant to work with her! She def went the extra mile to help me get the good shots i needed. We got to shoot with different color backgrounds and different jackets and poses. This was my first time so I didnt know anything of what looked good but she def helped and i had my bf also with me to tell me what smile and colors looked good.

Would def recommend and i used my photos for my directory and LinkedIn In photos! She will retouch and size appropriately as well. Thank u Kate!!

I found Kates business through yelp. This was my first time getting professional shots clicked. Kate is excellent at what she does and guided me through the process and things to consider before the shoot. She is very prompt with her communication and she helped me build a wonderful portfolio of pictures that I can use now. I am thankful to have found her. The quality of work , time of delivery and the overall experience is great. I would highly recommend her.
