STUDIO HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHY

Streamlined headshot photos in the comfort of your office
With beautiful portrait photography lighting and a consistent background, studio headshot photos offer crisp, clean aesthetics. 

Beyond the visual, there are also practical benefits to studio photography for your company headshot photos: 

Studio headshot photography is ideal for large groups, growing teams, and teams with people in different cities.

There are also practical reasons to choose studio photography for your company headshots: 

Studio headshot photography is ideal for large groups, growing teams, and teams with people in different cities.
Studio headshot photos are an efficient choice for large teams because they enable us to photograph many people in a day, not subject to weather, and working on a tight schedule. 

Professional headshot photography with a studio set-up is a smart choice for growing teams because it makes maintaining brand consistency over time a cinch, even as your company grows. When folks join your team, we can perfectly match their business headshot to the rest of the team.

And, if your team members live in different cities, we can document the studio photography settings and share them with photographers in other cities so that they can match the style of the current team photos.

Case Study: 

OAC Services has a team that is large, growing, AND based in different cities. For OAC we do a headshot photoshoot each year when the whole team convenes in Seattle for their annual meeting. 

New team members get a fresh professional headshot to match the rest of the crew, and existing team members can get an updated headshot if they're ready.

*Studio headshots do not have to be stiff or serious! For OAC each team member gets two professional headshots -- one traditional corporate headshot photo, and one more playful candid photo.

On-location natural-light headshot photos
For company headshot photos with more visual variety, natural headshot photography can be a great option. 

We'll choose a convenient indoor or outdoor location and, using natural light, capture team headshot photos with subtle (or not so subtle) variations in the background.

The secret to natural light team headshot photography is uniform variety.

With natural business headshot photos you can maintain brand consistency with visual variety by having uniformity in terms of composition, lighting, and tone.

Natural company headshot photos offer the opportunity to choose backgrounds that help communicate your brand values and sync up with the overall color palette and aesthetic of your company website.
Case Study: 

TMR Investments is a small but growing team. The first time we shot company headshot photos we got the whole crew together at Gasworks park in Seattle. 

Now, as new people join the TMR team, we schedule a short solo headshot session at a convenient Seattle location. Everyone's headshot photo background is different, but you can tell they're all part of the same kick-ass team.

Brand photography & workplace lifestyle photography is a game changer in a couple of common scenarios:

> You need a library of custom brand photography to pull from for marketing materials, upcoming press, and social media.

The Composite Team Photo

an elegant solution for evolving teams

This is a company group photo made from merging individual portraits
I'm going to be frank here -- nobody likes taking group photos. I'm talking about the kind of photo where we gather up the whole team and "say cheese!" and take a million shots and hope for one where at least nobody is blinking.

It's not just that people find the experience of being in a group photo to be varying degrees of miserable. It's the fact that, for most teams, a traditional team photo becomes obsolete the moment somebody leaves or joins the team.

If you hear me, and you want a practical alternative to a typical group company photo, the composite team photo may be right up your alley.

a dislike of team photos goes way back for most folks (I am the unfortunate blinker here)

Businesses love composite team photos because...

1. EVERYONE LOOKS GREAT
Looking your best in a photo is tough. Looking your best at the exact moment that all your teammates are also looking their best? Damn-near impossible.

Shooting individual portraits of each team member means we don't have to settle for "good enough" or pray that nobody blinked. I take the time to coach and draw our each person’s strongest portrait, then stitch them together for a group shot that conveys your team’s full potency.
2. IT GROWS WITH YOU
Keeping an up-to-date company photo is tough when you're growing. Nobody wants to reshoot the photo every time someone leaves or joins the team.

Modifying the team photo is a snap. When somebody leaves the team I can send over a fresh team photo, sans the old team member, lickity-split. Added someone to the team? Send them in for a solo photo session and we'll add them to the team photo.

"We brought Andrea in to do individual team headshots and a group photo. Each person required a different type of care and Andrea was able to do that. Her unique technique in building our team photo was equally impressive and gives us the easy ability to change it as our firm evolves."

KATIE

"We hired Andrea to take over 100 headshots for our company. She was thoughtful in her implementation, quick to communicate and make requested changes, and her scheduling tool was very helpful (employees could easily sign up or reschedule when needed).

Corporate Headshot Photography FAQ

My company is looking for a corporate headshot photographer to come to our office, do you do this?

Absolutely! In fact, I typically do company headshot sessions on-site because it's just so much more efficient when people can get new headshots without leaving the office.

For studio headshot photos I bring my pop-up photo studio to you and set up in a conference room, lobby, or office (all I need from you is about 12x12 feet of floor space and an outlet). 

Or, for more in-context business headshots we can use the environment in or around your office as our backdrop, taking advantage of natural light. If there's a local landmark that's meaningful to your brand that can work too (I've done photo sessions for teams at Gasworks Park, the Seattle Public Library, etc.).

We need a Seattle headshot photographer to match the style of the rest of our team's business headshot photos (we're based out of state). Can you do that?

I sure can! When companies need me to match the look and feel of existing headshot photos it's best to send over sample photos as well as technical specs (if you have them) from your main professional headshot photographer. Assuming it's doable (it almost always is) I’m happy to match your Seattle team headshot photos to the rest of the crew.

We've have a large team, how do you handle scheduling & logistics for professional headshots for large companies?

I've got a process for project-managing company headshots that has been honed over many years and is a well-oiled machine at this point. Here's the gist:

1.) You and I iron out the date and time of the photography session, how many people are being photographed, and where (say, conference room B). 

2.) I'll send you a link to a private online scheduling page which you will pass along to the team. At that point, you can kick back and relax, I've got it from here.

3.) Team members use the link to sign up for a time slot that works for them. They get a confirmation email with their scheduled session time along with a convenient "add to your calendar" button, and a Headshots Style Guide with tips on grooming and what to wear. (Oops, Jimmy accidentally double booked himself during a client call? No problem--rescheduling is a snap and can be done with two clicks from the confirmation email).

4.) Everybody gets an automated reminder email 24 hrs before their photo session so we minimize the chance that anybody will forget and show up in a rumpled T-shirt.

That's it! I make it efficient and easy to get your entire team set up with fresh business headshots (whether your team is 8 people or 150).

What background colors do you have for studio headshot photos?

I typically keep it pretty clean and classic when it comes to studio headshot photography background colors. White, light gray, and dark gray are standard. They're neutral, they look great with all complexions, they play nice on company websites, and they'll never go out of style. 

That said, if  there is another color you want (say, navy blue to match your brand), I can usually get it, I just need a little lead time to order it. We can also use a wall in your office as the backdrop for your company headshot photos, as I have done several times for teams with interesting exposed brick walls.

We need headshot photos AND a photo of our entire team, do you do both?

All the time! A lot of the companies I work with want both business headshots and a photo of the entire team (or the executive team). Since most of the companies I work with are growing, I rarely shoot traditional company group photos any more. It's just such a pain in the ass to round everybody up (not to mention the lost man hours) to reshoot the group photo any time someone leaves or joins the team. In fact, most companies who get a traditional team photo never reshoot it and it just persists as a source of annoyance because it's always out-of-date.

For a more versatile solution to the company photo question, I offer a composite team photo which stitches together individual photos into an adaptable final image. It lets us get everybody looking their absolute best AND, it’s easy to modify when people join or leave the team. Learn more HERE. *Best for teams of 8 or fewer people.

Will you retouch our business headshots and team photos?

Yes, photo retouching is included with every business headshots session unless you tell me that you don't want it (some teams want to handle image processing in-house and that's ok too). 

My goal as a headshot photographer is to make your team members look their best. That process starts with pre-session prep (tips on grooming, what to wear etc.), then coaching during the session to draw our warm and relaxed facial expressions and confident body language, and it typically ends with photo retouching.  

I retouch with a super soft hand so people look polished but not Photoshopped. Headshot photo retouching usually involves a little teeth whitening, removing temporary blemishes and under-eye circles, disappearing stray hairs, reducing shine, etc..

How do we pay for our company headshot photography?

Corporate headshot clients can pay for photography by credit card, check, or ACH, whichever you prefer. 

How long will it take to get our finished company headshots and team photos?

Turnaround time depends on the scale of the project but a general ballpark for small or mid-sized business headshot photography projects is 4 weeks. Faster turnaround times are available upon request.
