Ever met people who cannot seem to take a bad picture? Well. I'm just like that. Except the opposite. I typically dislike photos of myself and am really nervous about having my picture taken. Enter: Ian from Seattle Headshots. There's a reason SH has such great Yelp reviews. Ian is the consummate professional. He is both timely and talented. His eye for esthetic is spot on. And he was great at helping me relax so we could get the perfect shot. Really, there wasn't a bad photo in the bunch! If you're looking for a professional headshot that represents your business well, I recommend giving Ian a call. read more

Going into this process I was stressed out. After all, this was a serious investment into my business. We've all seen those terrible headshots that are over-edited or too busy, and I know exactly how I wanted mine to look. Ian exceeded all my expectations! It was a beautiful Seattle day so we had many backdrops to shoot over. We must have walked to 15 different backdrops by the end of my session, each with a slightly different look. Ian made me feel comfortable, he kept us on track & gave a few tips to achieve the best look. By the end of the session, before I had even seen the photos, I knew they'd turn out great! I highly recommend Ian's services to anyone in need of professional headshots. read more

Seattle Headshots - It was a pleasure to work with Ian. Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend! - Session Photography Near Me

I did my new headshots with Ian and he was great to work with. Very pleasant and patient with me. I am one of those actors that love to perform - but don't like doing headshots. He made it easy. And his processed photos (and even the unretouched photos) look great. He is very skilled. read more

So glad I went with Ian to update my 10-year old professional headshot. I was looking for an out-of-the-studio photo, in natural light, and he was a great fit. Ian is clearly very skilled in shooting outdoors, and had many locations with interesting backgrounds that made for great portraits. His friendly, easy going style made it easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera. After the shoot, I had the unedited originals quickly, in just a few days and the final edited shots only a couple days after that. He was very quick with replies and responsive and easy to work with through all the phases of this process. I happily recommend Seattle Headshots! read more

Ian is very accommodating to his customers! He was willing to work with me in spite of multiple scheduling changes.

Really fantastic experience working with Ian. Incredibly nice, and very responsive. He makes a point to make you feel comfortable and look at Natural as possible. He also works quickly and has finished proofs to you in no time. He does a great job editing, and you will love the pictures you get - I recommend Ian in a heartbeat! read more

Seattle Headshots - Great experience working with Ian!! - Session Photography Near Me

Ian is very friendly and easy to work with. We went out to Ballard for our shooting and it was just a pleasant day out. He sent back the proofs within a couple of days and I picked out my favorite images (which were awesome to begin with). Then he sent me back the final images a few days later. The final images are incredible. My eyes are focused and well lit in each shot, he polished up my skin, and took out everything distracting in the photo. They are the best pictures I've had of myself. I'm using them for my acting portfolio. I am a male and didn't need to use his makeup artist. I would definitely recommend getting your pictures done here. They feel more alive than one's taken from a studio. read more

Ian was so helpful through the whole process. I loathe taking my pictures but during the shoot he was so encouraging and it shows in my pictures. i received the proofs quickly and the final retouched shots were amazing. In just a few hours after posting them on my business page I've received several comments and private messages regarding my new picture! I highly recommend using this company. We shot in Downtown Snohomish and the hour session was just perfect. I feel very confident using the new pictures for all of my real estate marketing and will continue to use Ian for my photography needs! read more

Ian was fantastic to work with and I'm super pleased with how the photos came out. His 5 star rating is absolutely deserved. Super laid back, honest and gentle tips through the session, efficient and best of all, he delivered great pictures. Why spend the money on professional shots you'll only kind of like? I recommend you get the best and have Ian take care of you. read more

Ian was prompt in his reply to my inquiry for help and worked to accommodate my schedule with a lightning fast turn-around. The process was natural, relaxing and painless. Well worth the 5 star review. read more

I have never had professional headshots taken before and after a little research, I found 5 star rated Ian! I loved that when I contacted him, I received tips on how to prepare and make the most of our session. (Tip: follow ALL his suggestions...they make sense and work). We moved to about 10 different locations, not too much walking don't worry, and each time I felt like he was getting the best shot available. Ian is super easy to work with and very professional. The final results were fantastic, from a guy that does not feel very photogenic. Ian's eye is amazing and the results speak for themselves. I cannot recommend Ian enough. I am telling all my friends and business partners about him. Try him out! Kevin C. read more

Ian was very easy to work with and made the process really fun. I looked at a few other photographers and their portfolios before booking and I'm so happy I made the right choice. I absolutely love the headshots we got. He was very accommodating and communicative and his editor did a great job of touching up the final photos. read more

Ian isn't just a great photographer but very helpful in terms of making people comfortable and helping them to look their best in a photo. We had a good time walking around Ballard and exploring good places for taking shots. Great experience and comes highly recommended. read more

I was dragging my feet on getting a corporate head shot done, but Ian couldn't have made it any easier or enjoyable. Not only did I get the shot I needed, it was a twist on the usually boring/solid background, a nice walk around downtown Ballard and more than a few laughs with Ian. The price is super reasonable and turnaround is a few days. i can't imagine going anywhere else. Thanks Ian! read more

Photography is and art and Ian is an artist. I'm a mature woman who has had her photos taken many, many times over the years. This was a wonderful experience and the photos are genius. I've never been particularly photogenic - these are truly the best photos I've ever had taken. If you're looking for the real deal you should definitely choose Seattle Headshots. You will not be disappointed! read more

I used to own a side photography business, so I am anal about the types of photographers I work with and the types of photos I want. I needed some professional headshots taken for my role as the Chair of a Board of Directors, and I selected Ian due to the fabulous yelp reviews. I booked him 2 months in advance, and around Christmastime (just a couple of days after Christmas), because I needed them done within a short timeframe between trips. Although I was a tiny bit skeptical at first about pre-paying for the services, I had absolutely no issues--he was reliable, on time, easy to chat with, and knew his stuff when it came to photography, lighting, colors and background. When it got closer to the date I wanted my photos done, he was looking at the day with the best weather and renegotiated our scheduled date, so I could have the best weather and lighting for my photos. He is incredibly professional, kind and friendly. I highly recommend him. Best part is, all of my colleagues have asked me, "who did your photos? Wow, they are so good!" read more

Ian was really great to work with. The session was really well run, a nice comfortable walk through ballard, where we were able to get a wide variety of shots in very little time. Following the session, he was very prompt in giving me a wide range of selects and quickly retouching them. Highly recommended. Definitely plan ahead if you are looking for a weekend session as he gets booked up quickly! read more

I loved working with Ian! What a great guy. He was polite and professional the entire time and was very understanding when I had to reschedule a couple of times. It was a quick and efficient photo shoot taking no longer than an hour. He already knew the best places to go to get the best lighting possible. I will definitely be contacting him again the next time I need professional portraits done. Thanks, Ian! read more

Ian was AWESOME!!! Very prompt, professional, and the walk around Ballard was a fantastic idea. I paid for expedited service and he had my photos to me the very next day which was outstanding. I will definitely use his services again, and recommend to anyone looking for a great photographer. read more

Ian is awesome! I'm a transitioning military officer that was looking for professional business-casual headshots and he did amazing work. He is professional, prompt and extremely conversational. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease during your photo shoot resulting in photos that make you look better than you thought you could ever look! I highly recommend him to anyone considering professional headshots! read more

Ian was really great to work with, and my final picture was better than I could have hoped for. I was overdue for updating my profile picture for my various networks because I hate every picture taken of me. After just an hour or so with Ian, he took many pictures and then presented me with a selection of the best. From there I was able to pick my favorite and he cleaned it up. It's me.....only much better! We did get rained out on our first attempt, but scheduling and re-scheduling were very easy. Everything else was done online and it was simple. I had my final picture just a few days after our session. Will definitely plan on working with Ian again when I'm ready for an update. read more

Ian is super professional and took many shots to make sure he would capture the best professional photo. He is really talented, organized and communicative in his passion for photos. I would recommend him for a professional headshot. read more

Fantastic experience! Working with Ian was easy and fun. I really liked the fact that the whole shoot was done outside rather than in some studio. I'm thrilled with the final results and would highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a great photographer to work with. read more

Ian was very professional and friendly, which made the shoot very relaxing and natural. This was my first time getting head shots, and he gave me a lot of great advice during the shoot. The photos that came out of it were great! He was very fast at getting the proofs to me and the alterations he made on the final photos were perfect! I would definitely use Ian again when I need more head shots done. read more

My photos turned out great and Ian was fun to work with. He's professional/prompt, great at conversation, and tries to get to know you to figure out exactly what you're looking for in your headshots. His photoshop skills turned my photos from great to glossy-magazine-cover-spectacular -- he asked if I wanted my freckles to stay or be toned down ( toned down -- heck yes!!! ), brightened my teeth, eyes, got rid of flyaway hairs.. like any good photographer should, he's got an eye for details. We went through all the photos on his camera multiple times right after the shoot to narrow down my top favorites, and he's very good at pointing out which photos are better than others and why, so he does offer very useful and constructive feedback. Even though I was a bit emotionally attached to some photos (sometimes we have a view in our minds with how we should look that affect our photo choices!), I ended up mostly going with his recommendations for the final photos and I'm glad I did. Really enjoyed working with Ian! read more

I feel like an echo of others' comments: Ian was a pleasure to work with and he has a great talent for portrait photography. When I asked for help from friends and family to choose the right photo for professional use from the batch of 32, the universal comment was that the whole set of photos was fabulous, that he had captured me as I am, and that choosing the "best" was really not easy (though I managed in the end). He got back to me promptly with both the first set of shots and then the corrected versions. Without hesitation I can recommend him to others looking for a really good portrait photographer. read more

So easy to work with. As someone who detests getting their photo done, I am beyond thrilled at how my shots turned out. I had to reschedule last minute and had time constraints but Ian was extraordinarily accommodating. Highly, highly recommend to anyone needing headshots. read more
