Do you offer team headshots or corporate group packages?

What is a composite team photo?
A composite headshot is a great solution when your team can’t all be photographed at the same time—or if you want to maintain a clean, consistent look across all team members. Each person is photographed individually, and then I create a group image by combining the headshots into one cohesive layout.
This is especially helpful for growing teams or companies with multiple locations.

How soon will I get my headshots?
You select your photos immediately following the session or at a scheduled time that works best for you. Once you’ve selected your favorites, final retouched headshots are delivered within 4-5 business days. Need them faster? Let me know—I do offer expedited turnaround options when possible.
Can I use my headshots anywhere?
Yes! Your final images come with a commercial use license, so you’re free to use them on your:
- Website
- LinkedIn or Instagram
- Business cards or signage
- Email signatures
- Company press or bios
Need multiple crops or sizes? Just let me know and I’ll make sure you have files that fit each platform.
Do you photograph large teams or offer recurring headshot days?
Definitely. I work with businesses across the Upstate on recurring headshot sessions to keep teams looking current as new employees join. Whether you’re scheduling quarterly updates or an annual session, we’ll build a schedule that works for your team.
