How to Prep for Your Corporate Headshot Day

Thinking about hosting a “Picture Day” at your office? Smart move.

A company-wide headshot session is one of the easiest ways to instantly elevate your brand image, give your team a confidence boost, and bring consistency to your website, proposals, and LinkedIn profiles.

At Cannavo Studios, we make it easy by bringing the studio to you—lights, backdrop, camera, and all. But if you want the best results, a little preparation goes a long way.

Here’s how to help your Charlotte-based team get ready for corporate headshots that actually look good.

✅ What to Wear:

Stick to solid colors like navy, gray, olive, maroon, or jewel tones. These look great on camera and suit all skin tones.
Avoid loud patterns, neon colors, or overly reflective fabrics.
Layer with a blazer or jacket for a more polished look—and the option to switch it up mid-session.
Minimal accessories work best. Unless it’s a signature item (like a headwrap, chain, or scarf), keep it simple.

✅ Grooming Tips:

Haircuts and grooming should be done 1–3 days prior—not the morning of.
Hydrate well and sleep well the day before. You’d be amazed what a difference it makes in your skin and eyes.
Light makeup is fine, but avoid super glossy or shimmery products that reflect under lights.

✅ What to Expect on the Day:

We’ll set up an on-site professional lighting station in a private room or corner of your office.
Each session is fast, easy, and guided—we direct poses, fix hair or collars, and help every person feel at ease.
Most team members are done in under 5 minutes, with multiple photos taken and the best one chosen on the spot or shortly after.
