Headshot pricing, worked out
Enter a headcount. The volume ladder does the rest.
Team headshots are priced on a published per-person ladder that gets cheaper as the count grows, but nobody wants to do that math on a service page. So this does it. At your office, or as a station at your event.
Run your headcount through it
Where is this happening?
The ladder: first 5 people $300 each, 6–10 $240, 11–20 $180, from 21 $150. It applies itself as you slide.
These are my published rates. Every project gets a fixed written quote before booking, and actual quotes can vary with scope and change over time.
How the two products differ
Office team headshots are a scheduled session at your workplace: each person gets a few minutes, 2–3 final retouched options, delivery in 7–10 days with commercial usage included. Priced per person on the volume ladder, with a $1,500 floor that covers the first five people.
The event headshot station is a different animal: a branded setup running live at your conference or party, where guests walk up, get shot, and receive their retouched photo by email. Half day ($2,500) is 3 live hours; full day ($4,500) is 6. It's priced by time, not per person, a guest who doesn't show up doesn't change the setup the station needs. How many guests fit those hours depends on how long each guest gets, and that's a choice about the experience, not a spec. The honest math on that is here. Big multi-day runs become a multi-station trade show build, from $8,000, quoted per run.
Both include retouching, online delivery, and full commercial usage rights. The station also hands you the contact list of everyone who participated, which tends to interest the people paying for the event.
Questions people ask at this point
Why does the per-person price drop with volume? Because setup is the fixed cost. Lights, backdrop, and the trip to your office cost the same for 5 people as for 25, so the more of your team walks through, the less each person carries of it. The published example: 10 people is $2,700, which is $270 a head.
More than 40 people at the office? That usually becomes a multi-day or multi-team schedule, and it's worth pricing properly. Use the form and say the number; volume above the ladder gets quoted, and it lands below the $150 tier, not above it.
Can the station bolt onto event coverage? Yes, that's the most common shape. The event coverage estimator has the combined math.
