Description

A successful corporate headshot business grows not just by delivering great images, but by delivering a great experience for the companies you work with. While AI headshots may seem convenient, they can’t replace the professionalism, organization, and confidence a skilled photographer brings to a team shoot. The person who hires you—often a marketing manager, executive assistant, or office manager—needs the process to run smoothly and reflect well on them and their company. In this session, Glynns will walk through a real corporate team headshot project from the first inquiry to final delivery. You’ll see the workflows, communication strategies, and on-site systems she uses to photograph more than 80 company team headshot projects each year while keeping the experience organized, professional, and stress-free for the client. By the end of the session, you’ll understand what happens at every stage of a team headshot job, what to say and send to your point person along the way, and how to stay calm, organized, and in control—even when things go sideways.
