Corporate Headshot Day
Corporate headshot projects involve photographing multiple employees in a single day. The logistics are different from individual client sessions — you're coordinating with an office manager, scheduling dozens of people, and delivering consistent results across the board.
Initial Setup
- Create a session type called "Corporate Headshot" with a 10-15 minute duration per person.
- Set buffer time to 2-3 minutes — just enough to swap subjects and adjust settings.
- Work with the company contact to determine the date, location (on-site or studio), and number of employees.
- Send a corporate headshot contract with pricing (per-person or flat day rate).
Scheduling Employees
Create a scheduling link for the headshot day and share it with the office manager. They distribute the link to employees, who each pick their own time slot. This eliminates the back-and-forth of coordinating schedules through one point of contact.
Alternatively, if the company prefers to assign times, create a simple schedule and enter each person manually in creavio's calendar.
Pre-Shoot Communication
Send a prep email to all participants (via bulk email to the tagged group) that includes:
- What to wear and what to avoid (patterns, logos, wrinkled clothing)
- Grooming tips (hair, makeup, glasses glare)
- Their specific time slot
- Location and parking instructions
On-Site Workflow
- Set up a check-in sheet (print your creavio day view) so each person checks in upon arrival.
- Photograph each subject using a consistent setup — same backdrop, lighting, and lens.
- Take 5-10 frames per person. Review briefly on the back of the camera.
- Note any special requests (preferred side, glasses on/off) in creavio's client notes.
Editing and Delivery
- Edit all headshots with a consistent style — same crop ratio, color treatment, and background cleanup.
- Create individual galleries in creavio for each employee, or a single gallery with sub-folders.
- Deliver galleries via email. Include download instructions and any usage rights information.
- Send the final invoice to the company contact with the total based on the number of employees photographed.
Follow-Up
Corporate headshot days often lead to repeat business. Tag the company as "Corporate Client" and set a reminder to reach out in 12 months for updated headshots. New hires happen year-round — offer a standing rate for individual sessions between annual headshot days.
