Remote Team Headshots for Teams in Oakland, CA
Remote headshots for Oakland and San Francisco Bay Area teams—live-directed virtual sessions that deliver consistent, LinkedIn-ready, high-quality headshots without anyone leaving their desk.
The Evolution of Headshots
Work went remote. Headshots did too.
Traditional studio sessions don’t fit today’s distributed teams. People are split between Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, home offices, and coworking spaces. Remote team headshots give your company a consistent, professional look—without leaving the office or rearranging everyone’s calendar.
And most importantly: these are real photographs, taken by a real professional photographer, not AI-generated fakes. Clients often tell us it feels like working with an amazing photographer in the room—even though the session is remote.
How Remote Headshot Sessions Work
We built the process so HR and People Ops in the East Bay don’t have to micromanage every detail.
Simple booking for teams
You receive one secure booking link. Teammates choose a PT time slot, join from their phone, and we take it from there. It’s a streamlined way to run team headshots across offices and time zones.
Live-directed virtual headshots
During each session we connect via the CLOS App, use the rear camera for higher quality, and capture full-resolution photos while coaching posture and expression—like a classic corporate headshot session, just remote—so you get professional images ready for LinkedIn, bios, press, and decks.
Review & files delivery
Files land in a private gallery for easy review and selection. Once favorites are chosen, we retouch and deliver final edited images—LinkedIn-ready, web-optimized professional images—usually within 24–48 hours.
Packages & Team Pricing
And yes, we offer team pricing and discounts. Corporate packages start at 15 people and scale with your headcount, and remote sessions are generally more cost-effective than traditional studio options for team headshots, since there’s no studio rental, travel, or downtime between sessions.
