How to Prepare for team Portraits

A Simple Guide for Companies and Staff:

Team business portraits should feel easy for employees and organized for management. When everyone knows what to expect, the photo day runs smoothly — and the final images look consistent, confident, and professional.

Preparation isn’t complicated, but a few small steps make a big difference in the outcome.

For Managers: Plan Ahead for a Smooth Photo Day

Choose the Style First

Before scheduling, decide how you want your company represented:

  • Formal and corporate

  • Friendly and approachable

  • Modern and relaxed

  • Creative and expressive

This determines background, lighting, clothing guidance, and posing style. A clear direction prevents confusion and keeps the team visually consistent.

Share a Simple Wardrobe Guide

Employees don’t need strict rules they need clarity.

Send guidelines in advance:

  • Solid colors preferred

  • Avoid busy patterns and logos

  • Neutrals and company brand colors work well

  • Layers (jackets, blazers) encouraged

  • Professional but comfortable

Consistency matters more than matching outfits.

After the Session

Companies should keep images consistent across:

  • Website team pages

  • Email signatures

  • LinkedIn profiles

  • Internal directories

  • Press releases

This reinforces a unified and professional brand presence.
