Common Challenges with Team Headshots - and How to Overcome Them

Team headshots are a fantastic way to put faces to the name in your company's online presence. But let's be honest, coordinating a photoshoot for a whole team can feel daunting. Fear not! We have solutions to the most common team headshot challenges. Keep reading!

Challenge #1: Scheduling Tetris

Finding a time that works for everyone can feel like solving a complex math problem. Here are a few things we can do to make the process easier.

Offer Multiple Options: Have a large group? Rather than trying to fit everyone in on one day, try breaking the schedule up into several half days. It may make it easier for everyone to participate.
Online Scheduling: There are easy ways to coordinate sign ups! From Google Sheets to online scheduling tools, we have solutions that make it easy for your team to schedule a time slot.
Makeup Sessions: Even with the best of planning, sometimes people cannot make the scheduled dates. That’s okay. We can schedule a makeup day for the stragglers.

Challenge #2: New Hires

We've all been there: you get those beautiful team headshots done and then... someone new joins the party! Don't fret. Here are some options:

Schedule a Studio Session: If it's just one or two new team members, consider a quick studio session. We can duplicate the same look we did for your bigger group, and they can schedule at their convenience.
Monthly or Quarterly Sessions: If your company is in growth mode, schedule periodic photo sessions to add the new hires in groups. It’s more economical than individual sessions and can happen in the convenience of your office.

Challenge #3: Proof Paralysis

For group headshots it often falls on the organizer to choose the final images. Not when you book with Karen K Photo! We have an efficient system where participants can choose their proofs themselves, via individual online galleries. Each person chooses their own favorite image! No more sifting through everyone’s images or making it one person’s responsibility.

Plus, image files are automatically renamed, eliminating the administrative work for you!

Bonus Tip: Book a Headshot Station at your Annual Event

Have an annual conference or meeting where most of your employees will be in the same place at the same time? Book an event headshot station for your event. We can match your brand standards on location, and capture everyone at once. Our system makes it quick and easy to get quality team headshots at any event.

Coordinating team headshots doesn’t have to be a chore! Call us to talk about options that will fit your needs.
