Laura is the best headshot photographer I have ever worked with. She pays attention to details and things that seemed to be "not really an issue" but it matters to you. She always kindly reminds me to keep breathing normally, adjust my glasses when it slides down, stay chill. I really enjoyed every second I spent with her and I can tell this is her field of expertise. Her warmth welcome, nice and friendly vibe, and clear direction makes you feel super comfortable and it helps for producing a good picture of me. I would be happy to work with her again and highly recommend her for anyone out there looking for a professional and friend-like photographer to work with!

I recently engaged Laura for a personal headshot session, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I was looking for a private session, and from start to finish the experience was exceptional. Laura went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and the results show in the final images. Her attention to detail and ability to capture the perfect shot is impressive. The final photos are professional, polished, and exactly what I was looking for. In addition, the turnaround time was incredibly fast, and the quality exceeded my expectations. Definitely highly recommend!

Laura’s headshot class is excellent. It’s in-depth and well-organized, covering not only the technical side of lighting and camera settings but also the human side of the work: how to make people comfortable in front of the camera, guide them naturally, and deliver a professional client experience.

Laura is genuinely nice, funny, and easygoing, which makes the class feel relaxed and approachable even while she’s delivering a lot of detailed information. She models the same warm, confident approach she teaches you to use with clients, so you get to see it in action.

She’s also a very impressive businessperson, and she doesn’t shy away from talking about the real-world aspects of pricing, client communication, and building a sustainable portrait business. She’s generous about answering questions and sharing what has worked for her.

Overall, this class is a great choice whether you’re just starting with headshots or looking to refine your studio work and elevate your client experience. Laura’s knowledge, teaching style, and professionalism make it one of the most valuable classes I’ve taken.

Laura Hatcher Photography was an amazing experience! Today at the Life after government event at the Eaton Hotel. Laura and her team, including Marie, made me feel comfortable and truly photogenic. Their work is so commendable helping professionals across different agencies regain confidence with beautiful, professional headshots. Thank you so much!

I had a fantastic experience working with Laura for my headshots. Her personable nature and clear communication helped me feel completely at ease throughout the process. She walked me through each step, took multiple shots to ensure we had a great selection, and worked with me to choose the best images. The turnaround on the final edits was impressively fast. I highly recommend Laura for anyone looking for professional, high-quality headshots!

Laura offered free headshots for fired federal employees and I couldn't have been more pleased - both with the photo and with her. She knew exactly how to get a natural smile out of me and was a total pro. But her kindness and generosity recommends her at least as highly as the quality of her work. Thank you so much Laura

Laura is an amazing instructor. I completed her "How to be a Photography Business Owner" course through the Capital Photography Center. She brought such a positive energy to the training. The training was amazingly thorough and filled with so many actionable take aways. This was an extremely valuable experience. I also appreciate Laura's mindset and honesty about her experiences and lessons learned. I look forward to taking future classes with her!
