January Team Headshots: A Quick New Year Reset

4 min read • Business & Teams

A quick reminder to take stock of what you have, tidy up the patchwork, and start the year looking current.

New year is a good moment to check whether your team headshots still feel current.

Team pages drift over time. People join, roles change, and the odd phone photo sneaks in. Before you know it, your website looks like a mix of different companies.

This is a simple prompt to take stock and, if needed, refresh everything in one go.

Why it matters more than people think

  • First impressions happen early: Clients and candidates will often see your team before they speak to anyone.
  • Consistency looks organised: A matching set makes the business feel current and well run.
  • It saves time internally: Marketing is not forever cropping, resizing and chasing images.

    • A quick New Year check

    Open your team page and ask:

  • Do the headshots look like one set, or a collection?
  • Are there any images that feel out of date?
  • Do new starters match everyone else?
  • Are the crops and backgrounds consistent?

    • If any of those are true, January is a good time to sort it and move on.

    If you do refresh, keep it simple

    You don’t need a big project plan. You just need one clear look and a calm run-through.

  • Pick one style: same crop, same lighting, same feel across everyone.
  • Do it on site: a meeting room works well and people can dip in and out.
  • Plan for new starters: a simple quarterly top-up keeps the set consistent.

    • Two quick reminders

  • Please avoid lanyards and badges for the photo.
  • If you wear glasses day to day, wear them for the photo.

    • Why bringing a professional on site makes this straightforward

    The hardest part is usually getting everyone to actually do it. An on-site session solves that because it’s quick, consistent, and it happens during a normal working day.

  • A small studio set-up in a meeting room with lighting that stays consistent across the whole team.
  • Short time slots so people can step out, be photographed, and get back to work.
  • Simple coaching so even camera-shy people look like themselves.

    • You end up with a tidy set of images that match, ready for your website, LinkedIn, and internal systems.

    Ready to refresh your team headshots for the New Year?

    If you want to start the year with a consistent set, send me your team size, location, and a rough idea of how you’d like to run it. I’ll suggest a simple on-site approach that fits your working day.
