If you manage an office building or coworking space, you’re always looking for ways to offer something valuable to your tenants—something that feels professional, useful, and actually worth showing up for.

That’s exactly why volume headshots have become such a popular option.

They’re simple to host, easy for participants, and provide immediate value for the professionals in your building.


What Are Volume Headshots?

Volume headshots are a streamlined, on-site photography experience designed for efficiency and consistency.

Here’s how it works:

  • The building hosts a headshot event
  • Invitations are sent out to companies within the building
  • Individuals sign up for a time slot
  • Each person receives a quick, guided headshot session
  • They walk away with a polished, professional image

Sessions are designed to be quick—typically around 5–10 minutes—while still delivering high-quality results.

Why Volume Headshots Work So Well

For building managers and property teams, volume headshots offer a simple way to provide a meaningful, high-value experience without adding complexity to your day.

Here’s why they work:

  • They’re practical. Professionals always need an updated headshot for LinkedIn, company profiles, and marketing materials.
  • They’re efficient. Short time slots make it easy for people to participate during the workday.
  • They feel like a premium amenity. It’s something tenants appreciate—and actually use.
  • They elevate your building’s brand. Offering modern, professional services reflects well on your space.

It’s one of those rare offerings that checks every box: easy to organize, valuable to tenants, and highly utilized.


What the Experience Looks Like

On the day of the event, everything is designed to run smoothly and efficiently.

A clean, professional setup is created in a shared space within the building, using consistent lighting and backdrops to ensure every headshot has a cohesive, polished look.

Participants simply arrive at their scheduled time, step in front of the camera, and are guided through the process. No experience is needed—posing and direction are provided every step of the way.

The goal is to make each session feel quick, comfortable, and stress-free.

To keep things simple on the back end, each participant receives access to a private proof gallery where they can select their favorite image. From there, their final headshot is professionally retouched and delivered directly to them.

This means:

  • No tracking selections
  • No back-and-forth emails
  • No administrative burden on your team

Everything is handled seamlessly.

How the Process Works

Volume headshots are designed to be easy for both building managers and participants.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

  1. The building schedules and hosts the event
  2. Invitations are sent to tenants and businesses
  3. Individuals sign up for available time slots
  4. Headshot sessions take place on-site
  5. Participants select and receive their final images

It’s a simple, organized process from start to finish.


Who This Is Perfect For

Volume headshots are ideal for:

  • Office buildings
  • Coworking spaces
  • Corporate campuses
  • Shared office environments

Any space that wants to offer added value, increase tenant engagement, and provide a professional experience will benefit from this type of event.


A Simple, High-Value Experience for Your Tenants

Volume headshots are one of the easiest ways to offer something meaningful and professional—without creating extra work for your team.

They provide real value to the people in your building while keeping the process smooth, efficient, and fully managed.

If you’re looking for a way to elevate your tenant experience with something practical and well-received, this is a great place to start.

Family photos with a 4-year-old? You just have to roll with it. 😂🤍

Little kids aren’t going to stand perfectly still, follow every direction, and smile on command—and I don’t expect them to!

I’d much rather meet them where they are. We’ll play, move around, be silly, take little breaks when we need them, and work toward those sweet moments in between.

That’s part of why I love family sessions so much. The goal isn’t perfectly behaved kids or a picture-perfect hour. It’s capturing your family as they are right now.

And yes, we’ll still get that beautiful everyone-looking-at-the-camera photo for the frame. 😉 But sometimes the personality-filled moments end up being the favorites.

🍂 I still have a few fall family portrait dates available! Head to the link in my bio to reserve your session.
Honestly… a little bit of everything. 📸

From professional headshots and personal branding to senior portraits and family sessions, I love creating photos that help people and businesses tell their story.

And there’s plenty more I can help with, too—large team group composites, in-office headshots for teams with different schedules, acting and modeling headshots, office branding, and more.

Basically, if you need photos for yourself, your family, or your business, let’s talk about what you have in mind. I’ll help you figure out the best way to make it happen.

📸 Not sure where to start? Book a consultation with me through the link in my bio.
Money may not buy happiness, but having photos of your family to look back on years from now? That’s pretty priceless. 🤍

Fall family portrait season is here, and I have a few weekend dates still available (spots are filling fast!) 👇🏻

September 20
October 3, 10, & 17
November 7 & 15

If you’ve been meaning to update the family photos, document this season, or get those holiday card photos checked off your list, this is your sign to get on the calendar.

And once you book, I’ll make sure you’re not left wondering what to wear, where we’re going, what to bring, or what to expect. My Family Session Welcome Guide walks you through everything you need to know to feel prepared for your session. (linked in my bio)

I’m gonna let you in on my secret… 👀

These are the camera settings I use as my starting point when I’m shooting during golden hour:

☀️ APERTURE
For one person: f/2.8–f/3.2
For families or groups: f/5.6

A wider aperture gives you that beautiful separation and soft background when you’re photographing one person. With a group, I stop down to help keep everyone in focus.

☀️ SHUTTER SPEED
I start around 1/160 sec—but if I have kids running, a couple moving around, or anything else with more movement, I’ll increase my shutter speed to keep everything sharp.

☀️ ISO
ISO 400 is my starting point, and then I adjust up or down depending on how much light I have.

The biggest thing to remember? These aren’t magic numbers you have to use every time.

Golden hour changes quickly, and your settings should change with it. Use these as a starting point, watch your light, and adjust for the people and movement in front of your camera.

And if you’re building your photography kit and wondering what gear is actually worth investing in, I put together my Photographer’s Gear Guide with the cameras, lenses, lighting, and equipment I use in my own business.

Class of 2027, the clock is ticking! 🎓📸

Yearbook deadlines are getting closer, which means there’s not much time left to get those fall senior portraits on the calendar.

Senior photos are about so much more than checking a yearbook photo off the list. This is your chance to capture their personality, style, interests, and who they are during one of the biggest years of their life.

If senior portraits are still sitting on your fall to-do list, this is your sign to get them booked!

🎓 Now booking fall senior sessions. Head to the link in my bio to get started.
