These quick headshot sessions are perfect for business owners, creatives, entrepreneurs, photographers, real estate agents, honestly anyone who’s been putting off updating their online presence because it feels overwhelming or like it has to be a huge production. This session with my friend Karisa was such a good reminder that headshots can still feel relaxed, expressive, and genuinely personal while keeping things simple. We kept the setup clean, played with a couple different looks, laughed a lot, and focused more on connection and personality than stiff posing. I’ve really grown to love these shorter studio-style sessions because they’re uncomplicated in the best way. Clean backdrop, good light, a relaxed environment, and enough time to create images that feel polished without feeling overly corporate or overly “done.” These sessions are great for: * website refreshes * social media profiles * speaking engagements * podcast features * LinkedIn updates * creative business owners * fresh professional portraits And honestly, sometimes having updated photos of yourself, ones that feel current and aligned with who you are now, makes a bigger difference than people expect. I offer these quick studio headshot sessions here in Chelan, WA for anyone wanting modern, natural portraits without needing a full branding session experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644218518-J1JJUSTYJJSN6RFOSU4S/professional+headshots+chelan-0637.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644222460-P3BE7Q2M34PBQTLQ6XOP/professional+headshots+chelan-0640.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644228329-EVIDG5995Z4RJE56DYDR/professional+headshots+chelan-0670.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644233044-J76JSOWRI0BZOUBFKM7S/professional+headshots+chelan-0691.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644238087-532S2P4GNJ2BBLX9BSTH/professional+headshots+chelan-0730.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644242617-0G8PE92D7NBGDSIG054V/professional+headshots+chelan-0742.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644246979-FIASGMV8FXS9681VY7X9/professional+headshots+chelan-0763.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644252901-V3UINXGFPZIPUYHBY6AS/professional+headshots+chelan-0788.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644257766-ZNTY661AY0GT9UJT19VN/professional+headshots+chelan-0789.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644263572-DDSSOPNU9CA8C8T2D4WH/professional+headshots+chelan-0882.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644268139-ENSLNQHRKMPKQK66TP6M/professional+headshots+chelan-0886.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644274067-TA6ILOIIU6GO9UCUHNLY/professional+headshots+chelan-0959.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644278549-8CGG365GLU5I8YAWNWIO/professional+headshots+chelan-0973.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644283871-RL77HQJ76CZJLL283HXR/professional+headshots+chelan-0987.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644289465-Z54BEC2QPHRQ2JGZCXHU/professional+headshots+chelan-0999.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779644294430-JD1PEJG7N4APDMYYKMXJ/professional+headshots+chelan-1005.jpg Journal - Relaxed Professional Headshots in Chelan https://kaylanicolestudio.com/blog/grandparents-grandbabies-and-summer-in-chelan monthly 0.5 2026-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/0a99036c-5082-4f07-b0f7-6d74cb285c9b/4B3A1669.jpg Journal - Grandparents, Grandbabies, and Summer in Chelan - There’s something really special about extended family sessions in Chelan, especially when they bring together multiple generations in one place for a few slow summer days together. This session with the Buckmier family felt exactly like that. Between grandparents, siblings, cousins, babies being passed around, and lots of joking around between the brothers, the whole evening felt relaxed from the start. It was their first time having professional family photos done outside of weddings, which honestly made documenting these moments feel even more meaningful. One of my favorite parts of photographing extended families is watching the little dynamics unfold naturally, grandparents soaking up time with their grandbabies, cousins meeting in the middle of the chaos, and all the in-between moments that end up becoming the memories people treasure most years later. For this session, we chose a location overlooking the Columbia River with wide open views and easy access for family members of all ages. When families visit Chelan for reunions or vacations, I always try to help choose locations that are both beautiful and practical, especially when little kids and grandparents are involved. The best locations aren’t always the hardest ones to reach. The evening light, soft colors, and relaxed energy made this one feel especially timeless. I loved seeing the cousins together and getting to document such a sweet season for the whole family. Extended family sessions have become some of my absolute favorite sessions to photograph in Lake Chelan because they preserve something that rarely happens often enough, everyone together in the same place at the same time. If you’re planning a family reunion, summer trip, or vacation in Lake Chelan and want updated extended family photos while everyone is together, I’d love to help create something natural, connected, and easy for the whole family to enjoy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/1779585029743-EGI7U8ELOZU2WNTHLWY7/4B3A1126.jpg Journal -

The “Turtleneck” Trick Confidence starts at the jawline. It might feel awkward, but gently pushing your chin forward and down helps define your face and elongate the neck in photos. This small adjustment can dramatically upgrade your side profiles and headshots. Tip: Practice this in the mirror while keeping your shoulders relaxed. It’s a subtle shift that reads beautifully in-camera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/9eddd496-13f6-4303-b06b-d03e0f971efa/4B3A4998.jpg Journal - 5 Easy Posing Tips to Look Confident in Your Brand Photos - 2. Create an S-Curve With Your Body When I direct a client into an “S-curve,” I’m inviting them into their natural softness. By shifting your weight to one leg, dropping a shoulder, and gently letting your hip follow, you create a beautiful, flowing shape that flatters every body type. This is my favorite go-to when someone says “I feel awkward just standing here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/ed5cedf8-0458-4964-86f0-16d6e5504192/4B3A5038.jpg Journal - 5 Easy Posing Tips to Look Confident in Your Brand Photos - 3. Hands With Intention Most people freeze when they don’t know what to do with their hands—so I give them a purpose. Touching your hair, holding a prop, adjusting a sleeve… these are tiny movements that bring life into your posture. Bonus: Movement helps regulate nerves. Just by moving, you’ll feel more grounded. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/a2c6f2e6-dc51-4da7-bc4d-a5874c632cbc/4B3A5049.jpg Journal - 5 Easy Posing Tips to Look Confident in Your Brand Photos - 4. Angle Your Body, Not Your Face Facing the camera straight-on can flatten your frame and feel intimidating. Instead, turn your shoulders and hips slightly to the side, then look back toward the camera. This creates shape, adds dimension, and keeps your connection strong. Think: soft twist, eyes forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/667febdb-0639-46ca-9355-056fd2ee3f11/4B3A5051.jpg Journal - 5 Easy Posing Tips to Look Confident in Your Brand Photos - 5. Elongate One Leg This is one of the simplest ways to lengthen your posture—whether you’re seated or standing. Step one foot forward, shift your weight back, and point your toe slightly. This creates beautiful lines and softens your stance without feeling too “posey.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/683e1fbc9653834003a870ff/4ef542a5-f6fd-4a34-a254-5ebc14482865/4B3A5060.jpg Journal - 5 Easy Posing Tips to Look Confident in Your Brand Photos - BONUS TIP: Bring a Prop Holding something grounds your hands and tells part of your brand story. Whether it's a mug, notebook, journal, or your favorite product, props instantly add natural movement and help you feel less “on display.”
