Booking & scheduling

How do I book a headshot session?

You can book through our contact form or call us at 646-397-3478. For team headshot days and corporate events, we create a custom schedule and send a detailed proposal.

How far in advance should I book?

Individual headshots can often be scheduled within a week. For team headshot days or corporate events, we recommend 3 to 4 weeks' notice, especially in busy seasons.

How does scheduling work for a large team?

We give you a personalized scheduling link to share internally. Each person books their own time slot and receives automated confirmations, reminders, and wardrobe guidance, so the day runs on time.

Pricing & payment

How much do corporate headshots cost in NYC?

Team headshots are generally $99 to $200 per person depending on team size and session length, plus a $400 on-location setup fee. On-location sessions have a $1,095 minimum, which typically covers a C-suite or small leadership group. Individuals can book a $299 session on one of our pop-up studio days.

What payment methods do you accept?

Sessions & style

Do you photograph on location or in a studio?

Both. We bring a complete mobile studio to offices and event venues throughout New York City. We also hold $299 pop-up studio days on scheduled dates in Manhattan, and for larger teams we can book a private Manhattan studio for your session.

How long does a headshot session take?

For team headshot days, most people need about 5 to 10 minutes each. Individual executive sessions typically take 8 to 15 minutes, depending on wardrobe changes and how many looks you want.

Can you match our company's existing headshots?

Yes. We match lighting, background color, crop, and retouching to your brand guidelines, so new hires and promotions blend in with the rest of your team.

What should I wear for a corporate headshot?

Well-fitted, classic clothing in solid colors works best, and we send wardrobe guidance before every session. See our guides on what men should wear, what women should wear, and dressing for a white background.

I'm not comfortable in front of the camera. Can you help?

Absolutely. Most of our clients feel that way. Our photographers use calm, friendly coaching on posture and expression, and you'll see several options so you can choose the one you like best.

Delivery & retouching

How quickly will we receive our images?

Each person receives a private gallery to choose a favorite and add retouching notes. Final retouched images are typically delivered in 7 to 10 days, with faster delivery options available for events.

Are the images retouched?

Yes. Every selected image includes professional, natural retouching for a polished look that still looks like you.

Logistics & compliance

Are you insured, and can you provide a certificate of insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured and provide a certificate of insurance (COI) for every building we work in, which most New York City office buildings require.

Can you handle large teams or multiple offices?

Yes. We regularly photograph teams of 5 to 500+, from C-suite executives to entire companies, and coordinate consistent headshots across multiple offices and cities.
