Plan Headshots During A Corporate Event

Does your leadership or entire office need professional headshots? Do you have offices all over the country? You should have answered “YES” for the first question at the very least! But if you have offices in other parts of the country or all over the world, it’s a great idea to set up headshots during a corporate event. I have worked with many companies during corporate events to provide headshots. Typically, at least the leadership will be traveling to a base office for the corporate event. I can set up my headshot setup in your space or the event space and photograph headshots during or in between meetings. It only takes a few minutes of each person’s time and the result is highly professional, uniform headshots for your leadership or entire company.

Company Headshots for Strike USA

I recently was asked to photograph headshots for Strike USA during a corporate event. There were about 700 attendees for the event. I would photograph the leadership from all over the country who had traveled in for the annual meeting. Due to the size of the event, it was held at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott. I set up my headshot setup the day before the event in the banquet hall. Once people arrived, I photographed them for their headshot. We knew that we wouldn’t get everyone on the first day so I set up my equipment at the office a couple days later and photographed the rest of the leadership. I just love the resulting headshots that we were able to accomplish!

A forced smile in your headshot could be costing you clients.

Here’s why ⬇️

We all want to look friendly and confident in our photos — but the truth is, people can instantly tell the difference between a genuine expression and one that feels forced.

And those tiny differences can change how trustworthy, approachable, and confident you appear online.

When your headshot feels authentic, it builds an instant sense of connection — the kind that makes someone want to work with you, hire you, or trust you with their business.

That’s why during every session, I focus on helping you relax and bring out a real expression — not a stiff “say cheese” moment. Through subtle posing direction, natural conversation, and a comfortable environment, we’ll capture the version of you that clients actually connect with.

Because your headshot isn’t just about looking polished — it’s about inspiring confidence before you even say a word.

Here’s how to fix that 👇🏻

If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable in front of the camera — especially when someone else is taking your picture — you’re not alone. It’s completely normal.

Taking professional photos can feel surprisingly vulnerable. You’re being seen, literally, and that can stir up a lot of nerves.

But here’s the thing: feeling awkward shouldn’t stop you from getting photos you love. My job as your photographer is to help ease that discomfort so you can show up as your best, most authentic self.

Here’s how I help clients do just that:

1️⃣ The Consultation

Before your session, we’ll chat about your goals, style, and how you want to be seen. I also connect clients with trusted stylists who can help you choose outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable (if needed).

2️⃣ A Calm, Supportive Environment

Whether we’re in my studio, your office, or an outdoor location, my priority is to create a space where you can relax, laugh, and genuinely enjoy the process. When you’re at ease, it always shows in your photos.

3️⃣ A Little Preparation Goes a Long Way

Get plenty of rest, hydrate, and plan your wardrobe ahead of time. When you feel prepared, you walk into your session with a completely different kind of confidence.

Because the truth is — professional photos can feel vulnerable, but with the right guidance, they can also be empowering. 💛

I get it—parents worry their kids won’t sit still, won’t smile, or will get tired too quickly. But here’s the truth: that’s exactly what makes the photos beautiful.

✨ We start playfully — no pressure, just letting your kids warm up at their own pace.
📸 I’ll guide you into natural interactions, like walking, snuggling, or playing together.
😊 Expect tickle fights, giggles, and even a little silliness—it’s all part of the fun.
🍂 Kids need breaks? We roll with it. The best smiles usually come after they’ve had a chance to relax.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Every child gets their moment to shine—without forcing fake poses.

There’s no “perfect behavior” required. The most memorable family portraits happen when your kids are just being themselves—and you’re right there with them.

Because this isn’t about stiff poses or saying “cheese.” It’s about capturing the real magic of your family in this season of life.

📩 Ready for a session your kids will actually enjoy? DM me to get started!

Here`s the hard truth about acting headshots that most photographers won`t tell you 👇🏻

If a casting director can`t immediately see what role you`d play just by looking at your photo, you`ve already lost the audition.

Corporate headshots show professionalism. Acting headshots show CHARACTER—and that requires a completely different approach.

Most actors think they need one `perfect` headshot with a generic smile. But casting directors aren`t looking for pleasant—they`re looking for types. The lawyer, the best friend, the villain. And they need to see it instantly.

That`s why specificity wins:
✨ Confident and commanding for lawyer roles
✨ Warm and approachable for parent characters
✨ Hint of mischief for villain parts

But here`s the bigger mistake—thinking one headshot is enough. One headshot = one role. Multiple headshots = multiple opportunities.

You need range: commercial-friendly, dramatic, playful, maybe edgy. When casting directors see variety, they`re thinking about how you fit their ENTIRE project.

Not every photographer understands acting industry standards. When I work with actors, we plan multiple `looks` in one session—because every shot needs to feel intentional.

Ready to create acting headshots that actually get you cast? Let`s plan a session that shows your full range.

Casting directors make decisions in seconds—your headshot should tell them exactly who you can play.

That’s why acting headshots need to be intentional:

✔️ Expressions that hint at the *roles you want*

✔️ Wardrobe choices that signal character

✔️ Variety that shows your range

A smile might look nice, but a character gets you booked. When your headshot is specific and authentic, it becomes more than just a photo—it becomes your first audition.

✨ Ready for acting headshots that *open doors*? Let’s create portraits that work as hard as you do.
