What exactly is Headshots & Hops?

Headshots & Hops is a laid-back, drop-in headshot experience that takes place inside an existing networking event. I set up a small professional photo studio on site, and attendees stop by for a few minutes between conversations to get a high-quality, professional headshot.

It’s designed to feel easy, not intimidating.

Is this the main focus of the event?

No—and that’s intentional.

Headshots & Hops works best as a perk or bonus to an event, not the centerpiece. The event stays focused on networking, conversation, and community. The headshots are simply there when people want them.

How much space do you need?

About a 15’ x 15’ area is ideal.
This can be a corner of a room, a side space, or any area with enough room to set up lighting and a backdrop without disrupting the flow of the event.

How long does the event run?

Typically 2–3 hours.
Attendees come and go naturally, stopping by for a few minutes when it feels right for them.

How long is each person in front of the camera?

Usually 1–5 minutes per person.

This is not a long, formal portrait session. It’s intentionally short, relaxed, and efficient—perfect for people who don’t want to feel like they’re performing.

Do people see their photos right away?

Yes. Attendees can see their images on site, which helps keep things relaxed and collaborative. Final images are later delivered through a private online gallery.

How do attendees receive their photos?

After the event, images are uploaded to a private gallery where attendees can view and download their photos. How many images they receive depends on how the event is structured.

How is pricing usually handled?

There are a few flexible options, depending on what works best for the organization:

The host organization sponsors the event paying me directly, and attendees get the photos for free
Event tickets (around $55-$75, depending on if food and drink is included) include one headshot
Attendees can purchase the images individually afterward from an online gallery

We decide this together in advance.

Is this the same as a traditional headshot session?

Not quite.

My typical headshot sessions last 30–60 minutes, include wardrobe changes, multiple poses and moods, and produce several final image options.

Headshots & Hops is a lite version—designed for accessibility, speed, and comfort. It’s ideal for people who want a strong, professional image without committing to a full session.

Who is this best suited for?

Headshots & Hops works especially well for:

Chambers of commerce
Networking groups
Job fairs
Community and small business organizations

It’s particularly valuable for members who have never had a professional headshot before.

Why do organizations choose to host this?

Because it turns advice into action.

There’s often a lot of talk about networking, personal branding, and first impressions. Headshots & Hops gives attendees something tangible they can walk away with—helping them build momentum beyond the event itself.
