Which photographers can shoot team headshots in the Bay Area at your office?
Two packages on Events in Minutes are built for a whole team in one visit: a San Jose photographer's Corporate Team Headshots at Your Office station for up to nine people and a San Francisco photography team that books by the hour for groups up to 1,000. This guide is written for office managers and HR leads booking matching portraits after a reorg or before a website refresh. We read each listing in full on October 20, 2026 and copied the price, group size and duration exactly as the listing shows them.
The other six carded packages are for one or two people at a time: for whoever misses the day, joins later or needs several looks for a leadership page. Six of the seven cards travel to you; the Alameda session runs in its own studio. Across the six fixed-price cards (n = 6, checked October 20, 2026), prices run from $99.00 to $895.00 with a median of $347.00, the midpoint of $299.00 and $395.00; the seventh card, the San Francisco team package, is $200.00/hour.

On-site team headshot days in San Jose and San Francisco
Pick by headcount. For up to nine people, the San Jose Corporate Team Headshots at Your Office package is listed at $1050.00 fixed price (varies by guests) for 1–9 guests over 1–2 hours, and it travels to you; its planning details are below. For ten or more, the San Francisco package below is priced by the hour and typed for up to 1,000 people.
Professional Headshot Photographer for Teams, Studio or On-Site
The listing built for bigger groups: an hourly photography team that comes to your office, works in a studio or shoots outdoors, for one person up to 1,000. Photographers coach each person on posing, expression and light, and the team travels up to roughly 100 miles, covering the city, Peninsula, East Bay and South Bay. It suits an onboarding week or a headshot station at a conference. Headcount, location and timing must be confirmed at least 48 hours ahead.
Book nowSolo headshot sessions that come to your office
These three suit the gaps a team day leaves: a new hire, a leader who needs a second outfit, or someone who was out. Two come from the San Jose photographer behind the team station; the third is a Petaluma studio's mini session.
Professional Headshots with Two Looks
A 45-minute session for one person with two outfit changes and three fully retouched, high-resolution images. The photographer brings studio-grade lighting and backdrops to your home, office or an outdoor spot, with travel within 15 miles of San Jose included, and delivers through a private gallery in 3 to 5 business days. A good fit for a founder or executive who needs a formal look for the leadership page and a relaxed one for a speaker bio.
Book nowExpress 20-Minute Headshot Session
The quick option from the same San Jose photographer: a 20-minute session for one person in one outfit, ending with one fully retouched image at web and social media resolution. The selection gallery is ready within 48 hours, and the mobile studio comes to your office, home or an outdoor spot within 15 miles of San Jose. Useful for a new hire who joined after the team day and needs a directory picture.
Book nowMini Headshot Photography Session 30-Minute Single Look
A 30-minute, single-look session from a Petaluma studio that works in its own space or at an agreed Bay Area workspace, with travel within 50 miles of Petaluma included. The photographer walks the subject through three to four expressions and angles, and one edited high-resolution file is delivered by online gallery within two weeks. The listing names new hires who need a quick company directory headshot, which makes it the lowest-priced way to fill one gap.
Book nowMulti-look portrait sets for a leadership page
For a leadership page, speaker bio or press kit, a longer session with several looks gives a designer more to work with. Two of these come from the Petaluma studio; the third is the Alameda studio session, the one package in this guide listed at the studio's own location.
Headshot Photography Collection Multiple Looks Bay Area
Ninety minutes with the same Petaluma studio for someone who needs more than one look: two to three outfit or background changes, posed corporate frames plus relaxed three-quarter and seated portraits, and five edited high-resolution files. Wardrobe and posing notes arrive by email before the session, and the gallery is delivered within three weeks. The listing aims it at executives who need variations for LinkedIn, bio pages and press kits.
Book nowHeadshot Photography Portrait Session Two-Hour Multi-Look
The studio's two-hour portfolio session: tight headshots plus three-quarter, seated and environmental frames, three or more wardrobe or backdrop variations, and twelve edited high-resolution files delivered within four weeks. The listing names law-firm partners and board members commissioning a corporate portrait set, and founders who want environmental frames for company pages. Extra retouched files are a $75.00 per-image add-on.
Book nowPortrait Photography Half-Hour Studio Two-Look Wardrobe Session
A 30-minute session in an Alameda studio near downtown Park Street; it is the one package here listed at a fixed location rather than Travels to You. The photographer lights two backdrops and rotates one wardrobe or background change, producing a proofing gallery of 60 to 80 images from which three full-resolution retouched files are chosen. The listing pitches it for business branding portraits with a professional and a relaxed outfit. A full download of every edited file is a $100 option.

How to plan a team headshot day in the Bay Area
The San Jose on-site station for up to nine people
For a team of up to nine, the San Jose photographer's Corporate Team Headshots at Your Office package, listed at $1050.00 fixed price (varies by guests) for 1–9 guests over 1–2 hours, request to book with strict cancellation, is the on-site option built for a small team. The photographer builds a headshot station in your office, conference room or event space; sittings typically take 5 to 7 minutes per person; each person gets three fully edited headshots through a private link in 3 to 5 business days; and the listing approves usage on the company website, LinkedIn, internal directories and social media. Travel within 50 miles of San Jose is included. Teams of ten or more need a custom quote and are not covered by that listing.
Team headshot pricing for up to 9 people and larger teams
The San Jose station prices by reserved headcount: $1,050 for one to five people ($210 per person at five), then $1,200, $1,350, $1,500 and $1,650 for six to nine people. Nine people works out to $1,650 / 9 = $183.33 each, compared with 9 x $299.00 = $2,691.00 if each person booked the same photographer's express session separately. The San Francisco package is $200.00/hour, so four hours is 4 x $200.00 = $800.00 and six hours is $1,200.00 before taxes and fees; its listing says rates also depend on deliverables and participants, so confirm what a 20-person day includes. For headshot cost ranges beyond these listings, see our corporate headshots cost guide.
Group headshots in San Francisco for ten or more people
For a group of ten or more in San Francisco, the hourly team package is the listing typed for that size. Its listing recommends sharing your headcount, room and intended photo use, building a sign-up schedule, and asking people to bring a change of top. It also says booking is confirmed once a signed agreement and deposit are in place, so leave time for that step. You can compare other photographers in San Francisco before you send the request.
Headshots in Palo Alto, San Jose and the Peninsula
The San Jose photographer lists Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos, Sunnyvale and Cupertino among the cities served, with team travel within 50 miles of San Jose included; the solo sessions include travel within 15 miles. The Petaluma studio lists Redwood City, Menlo Park, Palo Alto and San Mateo and includes travel within 50 miles of Petaluma. See photographers in Palo Alto and photographers in San Jose for more local options.
Scheduling the day
At 5 to 7 minutes per sitting, nine people need roughly 45 to 63 minutes in front of the camera at the San Jose station, inside its 1 to 2 hour booking. Send a sign-up sheet with time slots. If the shoot is part of an offsite or onboarding week, our guides to onboarding team building for new hires and corporate offsite activities in the Bay Area have ideas for the rest of the day.
Deliverables, delivery times and usage
The Petaluma tiers deliver one, five or twelve edited files within two, three or four weeks. The Alameda session delivers three retouched files chosen from a proofing gallery. The San Francisco listing says final images arrive on the timeline agreed in your booking and does not state an image count, so ask.
Deposits and cancellation: read the house rules
All seven carded packages and the San Jose station are request to book, so the photographer confirms your date before the booking is final. The San Jose and San Francisco listings show a strict policy, up to 30 days before. The Petaluma and Alameda listings show a moderate policy, up to 14 days before, but their own terms are stricter: the Petaluma studio's listing says a non-refundable retainer holds the date and its house rules refund 50% of the deposit only 60+ days out, and the Alameda house rules make the 25% retainer non-refundable and refund the balance in full only 45+ days out, so confirm the terms with the vendor before you commit.

For anyone who misses the day, a solo session such as the 20-minute express headshot can fill the gap later.
