Gaylord Opryland Hotel corporate headshot event- 

I had the pleasure of getting a return call from a company I photographed on-site headshots for during their corporate conference at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. This year’s sales conference brought many new faces — and a few familiar ones!

For this headshot event, I set up just outside the conference room with a portable background and a two-light studio setup. It took years to refine the science of loading in with a single trip, getting fully set up in under 15 minutes, and packing out just as quickly — all while staying completely out of everyone’s way. And of course, working efficiently through the queue during peak demand.

When time with each person is limited, it’s essential for a headshot photographer to connect quickly, guide both the enthusiastic and the hesitant, and put nervous subjects at ease. I truly appreciate their trust in bringing me back, and I’m honored that they valued not just the final images, but the experience of working together. I hope I represented each sales professional well.
