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 Set The Scene Headshot 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?

The length of a session varies based on individual preferences and needs. I offer packages of 30, 60, and 90 minutes to accommodate different requirements. Additionally, I may provide complimentary buffer time to ensure we capture the perfect shots without feeling rushed.

When and how will I receive my photos?

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

What if I’m not happy with the results?

Your satisfaction is my top priority. To ensure you receive the best possible images, I encourage you to review the retouched photos upon delivery, as they represent my professional standards and artistic vision. If you're not completely happy with the final images, we can schedule a follow-up session or discuss adjustments to achieve the perfect shot. Please refrain from judging the quality based on unedited or raw photos, as they don't reflect the final product. This approach ensures that the images you receive are polished and meet both your expectations and my professional standards. If, after these efforts, you're still not satisfied, I can always offer a refund—no questions asked.

Doctor Headshots — Bay Area Headshot Photographer

Why Doctor Headshots Matter

A professional headshot is more than a requirement. It reflects how patients and colleagues see you. In healthcare, trust and approachability matter as much as expertise. Every detail in your doctor headshot photo shapes how others see your professionalism and warmth.

High-quality medical headshots communicate confidence, care, and competence. Whether you are a physician, dentist, surgeon, nurse practitioner, or healthcare leader, your photo appears on hospital websites, staff directories, and medical publications. An updated and authentic portrait helps patients feel comfortable choosing you and helps you stand out in your field.

At our Santa Clara studio, we create portraits designed specifically for healthcare professionals. From clean white coat headshots to editorial-style medical professional headshots, each image balances technical precision with a sense of warmth, giving you a photo that reflects both your skill and compassion.

Hi, I'm Kate — the owner and lead photographer at my studio. I started my photography work because I believe a real headshot can change how you feel and how others see you. I love meeting new people and hearing their inspiring stories. When you come for a session, we create a friendly, relaxed space where you can be yourself. My motivation comes from seeing the spark in a person's eyes when they realize they finally look like themselves. I pour my heart into every session, ensuring that every detail, every smile, and every expression tells your story. It makes me happy when my clients see themselves in the pictures and gain confidence.
