How Event Headshots Work

No appointments. No scheduling headaches. Just a professional headshot station your attendees walk up to.

1

We Set Up Before Doors Open

Professional lighting, backdrop, and tethered display — assembled in your venue before the first attendee arrives. 45-minute setup, zero disruption.

2

Attendees Walk Up Anytime

No sign-ups needed. People sit down, get expert direction, review their image on-screen, and walk away in 3–5 minutes.

3

Retouched & Delivered

Individual download links sent to each person same week. 2 retouched headshots per attendee included. Full commercial rights.

Why Event Organizers Love This

Real Value for Attendees

A professional headshot is something every attendee actually needs. It's the perk that gets used — not another branded pen.

Sponsor Activation

Brand the backdrop with a sponsor logo. Headshot stations consistently outperform other activations for booth traffic and dwell time.

Social Media Engine

Attendees update their LinkedIn the same week — every one of them tags your event. Organic reach you can't buy.

Foot Traffic Magnet

The headshot station creates a visible line — drawing people in. It works as a conversation starter and networking catalyst.

Questions About Event Headshots

How much space do you need at the venue?+

A 10×10 foot area is ideal. We can work with less — even a corner near a wall works. We bring our own lighting and backdrop, so we just need a power outlet and a bit of space away from heavy foot traffic.

Can you brand the backdrop with our sponsor's logo?+

Absolutely. We support custom branded backdrops, step-and-repeats, and logo overlays on digital files. Send us your brand assets and we'll handle the production. Popular with sponsors who want measurable activation ROI.

How do attendees receive their photos?+

Each person provides their email at the station. They receive an individual download link within the same week with 2 retouched headshots ready for LinkedIn, email signatures, and company websites.

What about multi-day conferences?+

Multi-day pricing is discounted. We keep our setup in place overnight to avoid daily setup fees. Just let us know the dates and expected attendance per day.

Do you travel outside the Bay Area?+

Yes. We regularly cover events across California and have traveled nationally for large conferences. Travel costs are quoted separately based on location and duration.

Can you combine event photography with a headshot station?+

That's our most popular setup. One photographer roams for candid event coverage while another runs the headshot station. Ask about our Full Event Coverage Bundle for bundled pricing.
