Lifestyle Headshots That Truly Represent You
Traditional corporate headshots don’t always capture who you really are—or what your brand is all about. That’s why I take a different approach. As a Bellingham headshot photographer, I specialize in lifestyle headshots: colorful, natural, personality-driven portraits that feel less like a stiff studio session and more like spending an afternoon with a friend. Instead of blank backgrounds and forced smiles, my photos show you in your environment—at work, on location, or wherever you feel most authentic—so your headshots tell the real story of your brand.
Hi, I’m Katheryn
I’ve been photographing people in Bellingham, WA, since 2010, and I believe headshots should do more than check a box on your to-do list. They should tell a story.
My signature “light and bright” editing style creates images that are bold, vibrant, and full of life – photos that instantly connect with your audience. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creative, or a small business team, I’ll help you feel confident, comfortable, and totally yourself in front of the camera.
What To Expect
From our first conversation to your final gallery, my goal is to make the entire process easy, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable. You’ll walk away with images that not only look amazing but truly feel like you. By working with me, you can expect:
More Than a Headshot
This isn’t a quick 10-minute studio shoot. It’s a customized branding experience designed to highlight your personality, brand, and message. Together, we’ll select locations, outfits, and a style that aligns with your vision.
Headshots That Feel Natural
No stiff poses, no awkward smiles. I’ll guide you with light direction so you feel at ease, but most importantly, the photos will feel like you. My goal is to capture genuine expressions and emotions that help your clients connect with you before they ever meet you.

Katheryn is a wonderful photographer and I had a great experience during my photoshoot. She makes it a point to make you feel at ease, she gives adequate guidance on how to pose, and captures beautiful images. I love how the pictures turned out and it’s hard to pick a favorite. I love her pictures!!!!

Katheryn Moran Photography hands down five stars+ — An amazing experience with a stellar outcome. I am so pleased with the photo collection. It was a pure joy to work with Katy. She was professional and kind.

Working with Katy is a designer’s dream. From the moment she arrived everyone was at ease with her bright personality and professionalism. I just love Katy’s style – she brings out the best in people and captures that authenticity in the photos. We ended up with a selection of options, all wonderfully representative of my architect client’s friendly personality. He said afterwards, “that was fun! she made it so easy.”

Katy is *incredible* at her craft. I had her out to my studio for lifestyle shots and from the minute she crossed the threshold, it felt like an afternoon with an ol’ friend rather than forced poses with “now I am smiling for a camera” mentality. She is efficient with the time and a real pro at staging the room. I had her stick around for some photography tips for my small business and that alone was better than most classes I’ve taken. Sneakpeaks came through that same night and the turn around for the gallery was super quick.
The images though…I can’t put into words how perfect they are. Katy has honed her skill for capturing vibrant colors, personality, and storytelling in each of the photos she takes. I am more than thrilled with the entire experience and value of working with KMP and look forward to contracting her again and again from now on.
