Team Headshots Toronto
A team headshot day is a single engagement that photographs a firm's entire team on a staggered schedule, in one day or across several. BusinessPortraits.ca brings the mobile setup to your office or runs the session in a private-studio environment, photographing 25,000+ professionals across 800+ Canadian organizations since 2017.
What is a team headshot day, and what formats are available?
A team headshot day is the corporate-photography format firms use when more than one person needs a portrait in a single engagement. The same lighting, the same backdrop, and the same standards run across every subject, booked into consecutive slots so the day moves at a steady cadence and the office keeps running around it.
Two session formats are available, selected against the team's shape and the day's headcount. Express format is a faster session format for high-volume days, available at a 50-person minimum. The standard format runs longer per person, with more frames, more direction, and the room for executive and investor relations work that needs a more considered sitting.
The format mix is set in the booking conversation with the HR coordinator or office manager. A large rollout often uses the express format for most of the team and the standard format for the leadership group, photographed back to back in the same day. The mobile setup is ready 30 minutes after arrival; teardown runs 20 minutes at the end.
The deliverables are the same across formats. Colour corrected proofs ship in 2 business days for the firm to make selections. High-resolution retouched images ship in 8 business days from selection; subscribers receive them in 5 business days.

How does BusinessPortraits.ca run a team headshot day?
The day is built from a pre-shoot conversation, not a same-day briefing. The HR coordinator and the photographer agree the format mix, the backdrop, the lighting, and the per-person schedule before the day begins, so the team arrives to a configured shoot rather than a planning meeting.
Mobile setup completes 30 minutes after arrival. The kit lands at the office, the backdrop goes up in a room the firm reserves (or in the private-studio environment that BusinessPortraits.ca operates, for in-studio sessions), and the first appointment starts on time. The team is booked into consecutive slots, with the day's length set by the headcount and the format mix; teardown runs 20 minutes once the last subject is photographed.
The look is held consistent across every subject. The same lighting setup, the same crop framing, and the same colour treatment are used end to end, so an individual portrait from the first slot sits cleanly next to a portrait from the last. When a new hire is photographed three months later, the photographer matches the new portrait to the established set so the directory stays even.
Colour corrected proofs land in a private gallery 2 business days after the shoot for the firm to make selections. High-resolution retouched images of the selected frames ship in 8 business days from selection, or 5 business days for subscribers. For multi-day rollouts, the delivery window is set during the booking conversation.
How does team-day pricing work, and how is the group discount applied?
A team day is priced per person, with a group discount that deepens as headcount rises. The discount runs from 20% at 2 or more people to 65% at 80 or more, calibrated to the number of people photographed per session day. For multi-day rollouts, the discount is set by per-day headcount, not the multi-day aggregate. The full bracket table is below.
The discount applies to the per-person package rate. A team day can be a small group photographed in one block or a large team photographed across multiple days; the per-day headcount sets the bracket.
Shown at the $226.98 entry rate; a backdrop or other configuration raises the per-person rate before the discount applies.
For an exact estimate, the Pricing page carries an interactive estimator that computes a project total from a team-size input, across per-session, team-day, and subscription models. Final pricing is set during the booking conversation.
How does BusinessPortraits.ca handle multi-day rollouts, new-hire batches, and group composites?
Three common configurations sit alongside the standard one-day team shoot. Each is built into the booking conversation and uses the same lighting, the same standards, and the same delivery timeline as a single-day session.
Multi-day rollouts
A multi-day rollout splits a team headshot day across two or more shoot days. Firms book one when the team is too large to photograph in a single day, when shoot windows are tight, or when the office geography (multiple floors, multiple buildings, or multiple GTA offices) makes a one-day shoot impractical. Each session day is a full professional setup, priced on its own per-day headcount, so the group discount is calculated per day, not on the multi-day aggregate. A team of 100 photographed across 4 days at 25 people per day is priced at the 25-person bracket (35% off) on each day: 4 × $3,688.50 = $14,754.00.
New-hire batches
A new-hire batch is a small follow-up session that integrates recently hired staff into the existing team look. Most firms run new-hire batches quarterly; subscribers on Growth and Enterprise tiers run them on demand as part of the subscription. The photographer matches each new portrait to the established set (the same lighting, the same crop, the same backdrop), so the firm directory stays consistent without a full re-shoot.
Group composites
A group composite is a single assembled image that places individually photographed team members onto a shared background, the alternative to photographing the team as a live group photo. BusinessPortraits.ca recommends composites over a live group photo for most teams. Each person is photographed individually on the team day, so each can choose their best pose and expression, and the assembled team photo can grow or change as people join and leave the firm without re-photographing everyone. Composites also work when the team is too large to fit in one frame, when members work in different offices, or when a remote employee needs to appear in the team photo without travelling in. The frames are produced from the team-day session, with the composite specification agreed in the booking conversation.

Which firms commission team headshot days, and how does this fit a subscription?
Firms across every corporate vertical commission team headshot days, typically when a website refresh, a directory rebuild, or a partner-promotion cycle puts pressure on the team's published image.
BusinessPortraits.ca has photographed teams across 800+ Canadian organizations since 2017, including all four Big 4 accounting firms and all six of Canada's Big Six banks. The full corporate-photography catalogue is set out on the service page. A firm photographing teams on a recurring cadence loads a subscription plan and draws team days from the credit balance.
Essential
10% account credit on annual payment.
Growth
15% annual, 7.5% quarterly account credit.
Enterprise
20% annual, 10% quarterly account credit.
The 90-Day Pilot Program is the entry point for first-time subscription buyers. Run a single team day under pilot terms; convert to an annual subscription within 90 days, and 100% of the pilot fee transfers as account credit.
How does an in-studio team session compare with an on-location team day and a multi-day rollout?
How to choose. Pick on-location for a whole-firm rollout in one day; this is the most-booked configuration because the mobile setup brings the studio to the team rather than the other way around. Pick in-studio for a one-off individual sitting or a small leadership group when an off-site environment is preferred. Pick a multi-day rollout when the team's calendar, building layout, or office geography makes a one-day shoot impractical. Many firms mix the modes within a single engagement.
Priced per person, sized to your team.
Team days start from the published $226.98 per-person entry rate, with the group discount applied per the per-day headcount. The exact project total depends on team size, the format mix, the backdrop, and any added configuration. The Pricing page and its estimator compute estimates from a team-size input across per-session, team-day, and subscription models.

Team headshot days, answered
-
A team day begins at 2 or more people photographed in one shoot block. Above that floor, the group discount applies per the published bracket table, from 20% at 2 or more people to 65% at 80 or more. The format mix and per-person package configuration are agreed in the booking conversation. Single-person sessions are quoted at the per-session entry rate of $226.98.
-
The schedule is built before the day, not on it. The HR coordinator and the photographer agree the format mix and the per-person slot times in the booking conversation, then publish a slotted schedule the team books into. Consecutive slots keep the room moving, the team's calendar intact, and the office running. The mobile setup arrives 30 minutes early, so the first slot starts on time.
-
Yes. On-location team days are the most-booked configuration. The mobile setup brings the same lighting kit, the same backdrops, and the same camera systems used in-studio to the firm's office, and the image-quality standards do not change. Setup completes 30 minutes after arrival; teardown is 20 minutes at the end. Travel within 60 km of the operating base is included in most quotes; further travel is quoted on request.
-
A team day is priced per person, with a group discount that runs from 20% at 2 or more people to 65% at 80 or more (the full bracket table is in Section 3). The per-person rate starts at $226.98 and rises with backdrop and configuration choices before the discount applies. A 25-person day at the entry rate works out to $3,688.50. The Pricing page estimator computes exact estimates from team size and format.
-
The group discount is set by the number of people photographed per session day, not the total across days. A team of 100 photographed across 4 days at 25 people per day gets the 25-person bracket (35% off) applied to each day, for a four-day total of $14,754.00 at the entry rate. Each session day is a full professional setup, so each day is priced on its own headcount. The same logic applies to multi-location rollouts.
-
New-hire batches and partner refreshes run as small follow-up sessions that integrate later additions into the existing team look. The photographer matches each new portrait to the established set: the same lighting, the same crop, the same backdrop, so the firm directory stays even. Most firms run new-hire batches quarterly. Growth-tier and Enterprise-tier subscribers run on-demand new-hire sessions as part of the subscription plan.
-
A group composite is assembled from individual frames, not photographed as a single group shot. Each team member is photographed at their session in the same lighting and on the same backdrop, and the composite places them onto a shared background. The approach suits very large teams, distributed teams, and remote employees who cannot travel for the shoot. The composite specification is agreed in the booking conversation.
-
Yes. Multi-office and multi-city rollouts are handled as a multi-day engagement, with the same lighting setup, the same backdrops, and the same standards applied at every location. Each session day is priced on its own per-day headcount. Multi-location coordination across the GTA is built into the Enterprise subscription tier at no additional logistics fee. The travel envelope for each location is set in the booking conversation.
-
A team day delivers colour corrected proofs in a private gallery for selection in 2 business days, then high-resolution retouched images of the chosen frames in 8 business days from selection, or 5 business days for subscribers. Files ship at the resolution and crop the firm needs for print and web. Group composites are delivered alongside individual portraits when specified. For multi-day rollouts, the full-rollout delivery window is set during the booking conversation.
-
Yes. Firms photographing teams on a recurring cadence (a quarterly partner refresh, a quarterly new-hire batch, an annual all-hands rollout) load a subscription plan and draw team days from the credit balance. Three tiers: Essential from $5,000 per year (10% account credit), Growth from $15,000 (15% annual, 7.5% quarterly), Enterprise from $30,000 (20% annual, 10% quarterly). The 90-Day Pilot Program lets a firm run one team day under pilot terms before committing to an annual plan; convert within 90 days and 100% of the pilot fee transfers as account credit.
