Headshot FAQs
How far do you travel for location sessions?
We typically travel between Charlotte, NC and Columbia SC. However, we will travel throughout portions of NC and SC. Best thing to do is request a quote.
Do you have a photography studio where you photograph your clients?
Yes, we (Kendell and Evelyn Healy) have a “home” studio in Lancaster, South Carolina where you can have your photography sessions at. Visit our Studio Headshots page for more information.
How much time do you need to set up and photograph?
Expect one hour of set-up time. The time we take to photograph is dependent upon how many people we are photographing. If we are scheduled to photograph 4 people over the course of an hour, we would spend a comfortable 15 minutes per person. However, If we are photographing 20 people over the course of two hours, we would spend about 5 minutes per person and sometimes less. If we are providing headshots at your event — that is dependent upon how long you would like us to be at your event and how many people are attending.
How many photographers can we expect on a location session?
Two — Kendell and Evelyn. Typically, Kendell will photograph while Evelyn analyzes the photos on screen as the photos are coming through. This ensures that we absolutely have taken the photograph that best represents you.
What if some people are not available the day of the photography session?
In the event that some of your team cannot be present during the initial location session, the option to send them to our home studio in Lancaster, SC. is available. However, depending on where you are located, our location pricing is structured in a way that the location session is most likely more economical and convenient:($150 per individual + $50 travel) vs our in-studio session: $150 per individual.
When will the photos be available for viewing and selecting?
This is actually dependent on the type of job we are hired to do. In some cases, the pictures are ready to be viewed and selected almost Immediately. In other cases, usually within the day. Either way, photos will be uploaded to a private gallery, and each person will be notified via email that their photos are ready to be viewed and selected. Once they make their selections, we will be notified to retouch those selections. After we are finished retouching, the final selections will be uploaded to a gallery and everyone will be notified via email.
Will you also photograph team/group photos in addition to the headshot?
Yes, we can photograph the whole team together or broken up in groups by departments.
What backgrounds do you offer?
Although we typically shoot on grey or white backgrounds, we offer a range of solid colors, gradients, or even custom digital backgrounds tailored specifically to your business. We also offer the option to select your background after the shoot is done through background replacement—this is becoming the more popular choice.
