Where are you located?

The studio location is: 2068 Walsh Ave, Ste A, Santa Clara, CA 95050. If you want to have a session in your office, venue, or outdoors check the Unscripted Moments Dating Portraits Package. I serve the San-Francisco Bay Area.

How to book a session?

You can book directly on the booking page or drop a message to hello@pacifica.studio for questions or a custom quote.

How long does a typical session last?

Curated studio sessions run up to 90 minutes; on-location Unscripted sessions run up to 90 minutes as well.

When and how will I receive my photos?

On the day of your session, you will receive a link to an online gallery where you can select your favorite images. Once you have made your selections, retouched photos are typically delivered within three days. If you need them sooner, let me know and I will prioritize the retouching at no additional cost.

What if I’m not happy with the results?

Your satisfaction is my priority. We'll adjust edits or schedule a follow-up session to make sure you love the images. Please review the retouched finals (not unedited proofs) since those reflect the finished work. If it still isn't right, I can refund you—no questions asked.

Hi, I’m Kate, the owner and lead photographer at the studio. I started this because I truly believe a great photo can change how you feel about yourself and how others see you. I know this from experience — I found my husband on Tinder, and having photos that showed the real me made all the difference.

When you come in for a session, we create a friendly and relaxed space where you can be yourself. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. My goal is to help you capture the confidence and warmth that will help you connect with the right person. Every smile and every moment is about telling your story in a way that feels genuine. Seeing that spark in your eyes when you finally see yourself as you really are is what motivates me.
