Phil Lewis / Grit City Headshots

Tacoma, Washington

Associate Member of Headshots Matter


As a photographer, I've realized, perhaps a bit late, that I'm at my best—and most fulfilled—when serving others. Portraits began for me as a creative pursuit for my own enjoyment. Now, as I focus on headshots, I'm discovering tremendous satisfaction in meeting the needs of others, not just my own. I'm convinced that headshots matter. A well-crafted, authentic, and professional image can genuinely make a difference in someone's life.

I love portraiture and resist the notion of volume headshots that commoditize the process—I like to take time with people. To accommodate the rigours of shooting company teams, I'm adopting a rapid and efficient workflow that delivers results I'm proud of and works well for shooting teams.

Like many photographers, I thrill at the beauty of light, shadow, and authentic, unguarded moments. I love seeing a client's boost when they see their images and love how they look. I'm always excited for the next opportunity to create portraits.

A Few Things People Ask Me

1. What kinds of headshots do you offer?
I photograph portraits and headshots of all kinds—LinkedIn, corporate teams, editorial, and environmental work. Whether it’s for a website, press kit, or personal branding, I’ll help you look professional and approachable.

2. Where is your studio located?
I shoot from my home studio in Tacoma, but I’m also happy to work on location. I enjoy using local studios and outdoor spaces that fit your style or brand.

3. How long does an individual headshot session take?
It depends on what you need. A standard session usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. If we’re doing something more in-depth—like a CEO session with multiple wardrobe changes—it can take up to two hours.

4. Do you photograph teams or travel to offices?
Yes! I photograph team headshots on location at your office. I also use HeadshotTools.com to make scheduling easy and take the admin load off your staff.
