how it works

  • step 1

    text message

    Five minutes before your appointment, you will receive a text from your photographer introducing themselves. This is a great chance to respond with any questions you may have before your shoot!

  • step 2

    the shoot

    You will receive a notification when your photographer has initiated your session and your invite to join has been sent. Your photographer will finalize the best lighting, phone placement, and pose before the first photo is taken. Don’t forget to clean your lens! Most importantly, take a deep breath! Shake off the day’s stress and have fun! Your energy and what you bring to your session will reflect in your photos.

  • step 3

    leave the app open

    Once the photographer ends your session, keep the app open on your phone to ensure all your session’s photos download, completely. NOTE: You will still be able to operate your phone normally with the app open.

  • step 4

    Receive your NEW images in 24 HRS

    If your company paid for your headshots, then your images will reflect the background and retouching they pre-selected with the order. Your photos will be delivered directly to your company, unless they opted for individual gallery delivery. Please inquire with your organization to receive your photos.

    If you purchased your own headshots, you will receive a link to your gallery via the email address you provided. Your 3 best headshots will be delivered on our standard STORM BLUE backdrop with natural retouching. Should you prefer to customize your photos further, you can fill out the Background & Retouch order form included with your delivery email.

Everything you need to know about our comprehensive headshot services for individuals and remote teams.

  • general photography questions

    Answers to general questions about our full suite of headshot services for individuals and remote teams.

    • How do I know if a photo retouch request has been received/completed?

      You will receive an email notifying you that your retouch request was completed. You can always email [email protected] with any questions or status updates.

    • Can you do event headshots?

      Yes. Whether you have a virtual event or an old-fashioned conference & convention with in-person attendees, we have headshot solutions to accommodate your needs. Ask about combining our services for hybrid events!

    • What type of wardrobe should my team wear for our photo shoot?

      We recommend wearing what best represents your company brand. Wear suits, ties, and dresses if your industry is more formal. If you’re a startup with a personality you want to show, let your employees express it in their clothing. Generally, we discourage busy or tight-knit patterns and recommend that if you wear a white shirt, you layer it with a jacket or blazer. Otherwise, you do you.

    • Can you match the photos in our existing company style guide so they are consistent with our brand?

      Yes, please send us a PDF of your company style guide, and we will always do our best to match it.

    • Can we customize our headshots to create a style guide for our organization?

      We offer numerous customization choices, including cropping, retouching, 100+ backgrounds, and logo branding for your desired look, and we can create custom designs upon request. Once you’ve made your selections, we can create a style guide that stays with your account to ensure every team member’s headshot is consistent with the next.
