The Ultimate Guide to Group Headshots for Corporate Teams

Gray, white, and branded backdrop options for professional headshots in Milton

Why Group Headshots Matter for Your Corporate Team

Your team’s headshots are more than just photos—they’re a branding tool. Whether it’s for LinkedIn, your company website, or press materials, professional group headshots:

✔ Build trust with clients and recruits (no mismatched selfies!).
✔ Reinforce brand consistency (think: cohesive lighting, backgrounds, and styling).
✔ Save time compared to coordinating individual studio sessions.

Oakridge Securities updated their team headshots for a new website— here’s what they had to say.

“Great experience! Carla delivered above and beyond what we were expecting. From creating a seamless process to ensuring minimal business interruption and, above all, capturing our smiles on camera, Carla made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Would for sure work with her again. Thank you, Carla!!” – Eric Corbett

Onsite vs. Studio: Which Is Better for Your Team?

In fact, most offices with 10+ employees prefer onsite corporate headshots because:

🏢 Onsite Benefits:

Minimal disruption: Employees take turns (5-10 mins/person) without leaving the office.
Brand control: Match backdrops to your website colors or office aesthetic.
Team cohesion: Everyone gets the same lighting and editing for uniformity.

📸 When Studio Works:

Smaller teams (1-5 people) with flexible schedules.
Need for elaborate backdrops or creative concepts.

Pro Tip: Since many teams now blend remote and in-office work, ask your photographer about hybrid headshot solutions—this ensures a consistent look for everyone on your team, no matter where they’re based.

How Onsite Group Headshots Work (Step-by-Step)

Before the Shoot

Schedule plan to schedule each employee for a 3- 5 min session.
Share branding guidelines (e.g., “Wear navy or gray solids”).
Pick a space (we bring a portable studio—just need 8’x10’).

Day of the Shoot

Setup in 20 mins: Professional lighting, backdrop (gray/white/custom).
Quick sessions: Each employee gets 3-5 poses (we guide expressions).
Bulk editing: Same-day proofs with basic retouching (teeth whitening, blemish removal).

“We photographed a 70-person tech team in Muskoka—done in 2.5 hours, delivered in 48 hours.”

Here’s what the team at Mappdin had to say:

“Carla is amazing! She traveled 2 hours away in the evening to our company offsite to take headshots for our employees. We had about 70 people interested in the shoots and she made each and every person comfortable in front of the camera! Her instructions on how to pose for the camera were top-notch and all the photos received are fantastic! It was a real pleasure to work with Carla. Cannot recommend her enough 🙂 “ – Avanti Krishnan
