On-Site Corporate Headshots · San Diego Headshot day at your office, not a studio errand
I bring the studio to your San Diego office: consistent, current headshots for the whole team in one day, five minutes per person, retouched finals in 48 hours.
Real coverage from San Diego events. See the full headshots gallery.
Why on-site beats a studio
Sending forty people to a studio one at a time produces forty slightly different headshots and a month of scheduling emails. One on-site headshot day produces a consistent set: same light, same background, same framing, everyone photographed the week the website relaunches instead of across a quarter. The same office day travels, too: North County teams have dedicated pages for Carlsbad headshots and North County headshot days.
Direction included
Nobody likes being photographed, which is fine, because it is my job to fix that in the five minutes we have. Everyone gets posed and directed; nobody gets handed a number and told to smile. People pick their favorite frame on the spot.
The same station, two habitats
This is the office version of the conference headshot station. Same three-light setup, same instant delivery. If your company also exhibits at conferences, one vendor covers both, with matching results. Recent examples are in the headshots gallery.
Real office days, real headcounts
One 8-hour day at Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits produced 140 finished headshots. Comcast Advertising ran it as a series: six visits across their California offices, 260+ people, every frame in the same visual system. The full case numbers live on the headshot station page.
Budgeting and preparation
The per-person math, model comparisons, and what moves the price are in the corporate headshots cost guide. Send your team the what-to-wear guide the week before, and browse real examples to pick your backdrop.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should employees wear for corporate headshots?
Solid colors one shade darker or lighter than your background, no fine stripes or loud patterns, and the jacket they feel best in. I send a one-page prep guide before the session so nobody finds this out at the camera.
How much do corporate headshots cost?
On-site headshot days use the same published station rates as conference work: $2,450 half day or $3,950 full day, priced by the day rather than per person. A half day at a steady pace covers a typical team; larger offices book a full day.
How long does each person need?
About five minutes. Enough time for real direction and three or four looks, short enough that managers do not notice the calendar hole.
Can you match our existing headshots?
Usually, yes. Send a sample and I will match background, framing and lighting so your new hires do not look like they work at a different company than everyone else on the About page.
What about new hires after the headshot day?
Recurring new-hire sessions are the standard follow-on: quarterly or monthly short visits with the identical setup, so the team page stays consistent as you grow.
