If you’re tasked with organizing headshots for your company, you already know it’s not as simple as booking a photographer and showing up. From coordinating busy schedules to ensuring consistent, professional results across your entire team, there’s a lot to think about.
As Scottsdale’s leading headshot photographer for corporate teams, we’ve helped dozens of companies—from small firms to Fortune 500s—navigate the process smoothly. Here’s what you need to know to make your large team headshot session stress-free and successful.
Why Professional Team Headshots Matter
Your team’s photos aren’t just headshots—they’re the face of your brand. Consistent, high-quality images:
- Build trust with clients and partners
- Create a cohesive company presence across LinkedIn, websites, and marketing materials
- Make onboarding new employees seamless with a polished photo process
Whether you’re in Phoenix, Scottsdale, or planning an offsite event, a premium headshot session ensures your team looks as professional as they are.
5 Things to Consider When Planning Large Team Headshots
1. Decide Between In-Studio or On-Location
For teams over 10 people, on-location headshots are often the most efficient choice. We bring the studio to you—lighting, backdrops, and all—so employees can pop in and out with minimal disruption to their day.
2. Choose a Consistent Style
Consistency is key when your team’s photos appear side by side on your website. Decide early on:
- Background color (white, grey, or environmental?)
- Lighting style (bright & airy or bold & dramatic?)
- Wardrobe guidelines (business formal, casual, or a mix?)
We help clients create a style guide so every photo feels cohesive, even as new employees are added later.
3. Plan the Logistics
For large teams, scheduling is half the battle. Consider:
- Blocking times for departments or groups
- Allowing extra time for hair and makeup touch-ups
- Sending calendar invites so everyone knows their slot
Our Scottsdale team specializes in streamlined sessions that minimize downtime for your employees.
4. Offer Facial Coaching for Natural Results
It’s normal for people to feel awkward in front of a camera. Our team uses professional facial coaching to help employees look approachable, confident, and like their authentic selves.
Don’t Forget About Retouching and Delivery
After the session, choose a photographer who provides fast turnaround and high-resolution files sized for LinkedIn, websites, and marketing use.
