Lincoln, Nebraska
Headshots your team will actually like
On-site at your Lincoln office or in studio. Same light, same lens, same finish for everyone. The only thing that changes is the person in front of it, and everyone gets to show up authentic.
A real number in about ten seconds. No waiting on a callback.
The situation
Organizing team headshots is nobody’s favorite job
What usually happens
- ×Your staff page is a patchwork of selfies, ten-year-old photos, and mismatched backgrounds
- ×Half your team dreads being photographed, and it shows in the results
- ×New hires wait months, looking like they don’t work there yet
- ×The last photographer’s quality varied from person to person
What happens with us
- ✓One scheduled day, built around how your office actually runs
- ✓Real coaching, so people who “photograph badly” stop believing that about themselves
- ✓New hires and anyone who misses photo day book through our Partner Program and are photographed to match
- ✓Every face lit the same, shot the same, finished the same, so the only thing that stands out is the person
Why ours look different
Anyone can be quick. We use the time.
Most volume headshot operations optimize for throughput. Line them up, three frames each, next. That is exactly why company headshots so often look like company headshots.
We build the day to be efficient, but each person in front of the camera gets real direction: where to put their weight, what to do with their hands, how to look like themselves on a Tuesday afternoon.
Knowing what to do with those extra minutes is the entire difference between a photo someone tolerates and one they actually love.
How it works
One conversation. One day. Done.
Plan
Tell us how many people and where. We build the schedule around your office, on-site anywhere in Lincoln or in studio, and can give your team a simple sign-up so you never touch a spreadsheet.
Shoot
Photo day runs itself. Each person is coached through their session and back to their office when it’s done. On a Signature day they choose their image on the spot. No production disruption, no all-day shutdown.
Deliver
Everyone gets retouched images, consistent and correctly cropped, with full-resolution and social-sized downloads ready for your website, LinkedIn, and anything else you need. Typically within a week for Signature.
Pricing
One rate card. Every company, same numbers.
Budget it before you call. What you pay per person depends on how many people we photograph in a session, not how big your company is. A five-person firm and a five-hundred-person employer pay the same per head.
Signature
The full session
Five to ten minutes of coached shooting per person, plus time to sit down and choose your image on the spot. This is the session that produces photos people actually want to use. Delivered in about a week.
Essential
When budget is the constraint
When the budget won’t stretch to Signature for everyone, Essential still gets you consistent, properly lit, professionally finished headshots across the whole team. About one to two minutes per person, then everyone chooses from their own proofing gallery. Fewer minutes in front of the camera, same standard behind it.
On-location: we bring the studio to your office. $250 per photo day, not per person.
You pay for who shows up. Book nine people and eight walk in? You pay for eight.
Just one or two of you? Book an individual session. Already a Partner Program company? Book on the Partner page.
Estimate your quote
Essential is available when the whole session is 10 or more, Signature included.
Estimate only. You pay for who shows up.
Team sessions start at 3 people. On your own, an individual session is $190, with your image chosen before you leave, and you can pick your own time right now. Already a Partner Program company? Book on the Partner page.
Book an individual sessionPartner Program bookingYour proposal is in your inbox in a minute or two, from Lincoln Headshot Company, as a one-page PDF you can forward to whoever signs off. It has the estimate and everything the team needs to know before photo day. If you left a phone number, we will call.
The Partner Program
Photo day doesn’t end at photo day
Someone will be out sick. Someone starts in March. With our Partner Program, anyone who misses your shoot comes to the studio later and is photographed to match, on our standard per-person rate, with the same lighting and the same look. Your staff page stays complete all year, not just the week we visited.
