Pacifica Studio

Driving Directions

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 has such a warm presence and I could tell that my shoot was just as special to her as it was to me. She truly has an eye for the right angles and her light set-up was superb. I am so happy with how my photos came out and will 100% be booking her again in the future!

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 :)

Kate was AWESOME to work with! I needed professional headshots for a new position and everything from the initial booking, payment, guided photo session, and retouching was a breeze. I highly recommend Kate and will definitely be back! She knows what shes doing, is very efficient and delivers a beautiful product!

Kate was very professional and has a solid knowledge of lighting, color schemes, and angles. She was gracious in trying different outfits and angles. Im super awkward in front of the camera but she made me feel very comfortable. The turnaround time for the photos was also super fast! Recommend!

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 is literally the best photographer I have ever worked with! It was my first time ever getting my headshot taken so I was very nervous, and she made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire session! She helped by fixing my hair and shirt, guiding me on how to pose, and even by helping me find my best smile! She is extremely professional and recommended backdrops that went well with my outfit and skin color. She is very patient and will make sure you get your perfect picture, and I will definitely be booking all my future sessions with her!

Kate is so professional and patient. We tried many different backgrounds, poses, and outfits within just half an hour. Kate is very experienced and knows exactly how to make you look best! I am very happy with my photos. HIGHLY recommend!!

Kate was very professional, friendly and we experimented with a lot of different photo angles / styles. She also communicated proactively and turned around the photos quickly. I would highly recommend engaging Kate for your next professional headshot.

My experience Kate exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, I was provided with ample information for my appointment (what clothes to bring, location of studio, what will be included in the package, etc.). Kate made me feel very welcome and comfortable, as I was a bit uneasy with my first time being professionally photographed. I ended with nearly 60 photographs for my use and a few that she offered touch ups and edits (as included in package I chose). I feel like I got a lot from this experience, aside from the photos. I highly recommend her services and will bring up her studio anytime in further discussions regarding professional/corporate headshots. You will not be disappointed with your experience when booking with Kate and Pacifica Studio!

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.
