Dedham companies — I bring my complete professional studio to your office so your team doesn't have to go anywhere. A 10-foot-square space is all I need — conference room, open lobby, break room. Each person steps in for their session and is done in under 10 minutes.

The result is immediate: every headshot has matching lighting, background and polish. Your team page goes from a mix of phone selfies and outdated photos to a set of images that look like they belong to the same professional organization.

This is on-site corporate headshot photography built for Dedham businesses — I come to you, set up a full studio in your office, and deliver business headshots that match across your entire team. No one has to leave the building or coordinate separate trips to a studio. For companies that need consistent corporate headshots in Dedham, on your schedule and in your space, on-location is the most efficient way to get there.

Dedham's corporate park and Legacy Place professional community are home to law firms, financial services, healthcare groups and technology companies where consistent, high-quality headshots make a real difference. Whether you have 5 people or 50, the process is the same — efficient, relaxed, and tailored to your brand.

How It Works

Setup

I arrive one hour before the first session to build out a full studio — professional lighting, backdrop, and tethered display so each person can see their shots in real time.

Per Person

About 8–10 minutes each. I coach everyone through expression, posture, and wardrobe — the same executive presence coaching I bring to individual sessions.

Turnaround

Retouched images delivered within 10 business days.

Space Needed

A 10-foot-square unobstructed space with a power outlet. Conference rooms work great if the table can be moved. Otherwise, any out-of-the-way open area will do.

The absolute best headshots in the business! Damon gave me the best photographs of my life and it was really fun. He explained his process clearly, listened well, and put me at ease with kindness, humor and professionalism.

Jon S.
Damon was referred to me by a friend who said 'Everyone I know uses Damon.' Now I understand why. He is patient during the shoot but highly efficient, and he understands what makes a good headshot. I highly recommend Damon if you want a great business headshot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the session day look like for our Dedham team?

I arrive about one hour before the first slot to set up lighting and the backdrop. Team members rotate through in 10-minute windows — I'll send a schedule in advance so everyone knows their time. For a group of 20, expect about 3–4 hours total. I handle everything; your team just shows up at their assigned slot.

We want all our headshots to look consistent — is that possible?

That's exactly what on-location team sessions deliver. Every person is photographed with the same lighting, backdrop and camera settings in a single session. The result is a polished, unified set of images across your website, email signatures and marketing materials.

Can individual team members come to your studio instead?

Absolutely — that's my New Hire Program. Anyone who can't make the group session, or joins after, can book an individual slot at my Sherborn studio at a discounted rate. Dedham is about 25 minutes from my studio via Route 109.

What if some team members are camera-shy?

Most people are — and that's completely normal. I coach every person through posture, expression and micro-adjustments so they can relax and look their best. By the time we're a few frames in, even the most reluctant team members are surprised at how comfortable they feel. For tips, read How to Look Confident in Your Headshot.

What about AI headshots for the team — are they worth it?

AI-generated headshots might seem like a quick fix for a large team, but they come with real drawbacks — inconsistent quality, uncanny expressions, and the risk that clients or colleagues recognize them as AI. A professional on-location session gives you consistent, authentic results across your entire team. For a detailed breakdown, read AI Headshots vs Real Headshots.

What common mistakes should our team avoid?

The biggest ones are inconsistent wardrobe (one person in a T-shirt next to someone in a blazer), not sending the wardrobe guide in advance, and scheduling too little time. A little preparation goes a long way. For the full list, see Biggest Headshot Mistakes Professionals Make.

Our Dedham office is in a corporate park — can you work in that environment?

Absolutely. Corporate parks and office complexes are some of my most common locations. I typically set up in a conference room or a quiet lobby. All I need is about 10 feet of clear space and a power outlet — I bring everything else.

Some of our Dedham team are senior executives — do you have experience at that level?

It's where I specialize. My background as a corporate executive means I understand what authority and approachability look like in a photograph — and I can coach your senior leadership to project exactly that. Most photographers tell executives to relax and smile. I can coach them into the presence they want to project.

How do we get pricing for our Dedham team?

Send me your approximate team size and I'll put together a custom quote. Pricing is a location fee plus a per-person rate — the per-person cost drops as team size goes up. Most quotes go out the same day I receive the request.

What's the difference between a corporate headshot and a LinkedIn headshot?

They're closely related but not identical. A corporate headshot is typically shot to match your company's brand guidelines — consistent background, lighting and framing across the team. A LinkedIn headshot is more personal and can reflect individual style. I shoot both and many teams use the same session for both. For a deeper comparison, see Corporate Headshots vs LinkedIn Headshots.

How often should our team update headshots?

I recommend every 2–3 years for the full team, plus individual sessions as new hires come on board. If your website has a mix of professional headshots and phone selfies, it's time. Read more in How Often Should You Update Your Professional Headshot.

What other nearby communities do you serve for team sessions?

We bring our full studio setup to offices throughout the greater Boston area, including but not limited to Westwood, Newton, Wellesley, Waltham and Boston and beyond.
