The Center for Career & Professional Development offers professional headshots for all students, alumni, faculty, and staff.
Headshot reservations are limited to 15-minute time-slots. Each session includes 3 headshots sent directly to your email after your appointment. You will have the opportunity to edit and retouch your photos, as well as the option to retake one of your photos during the session.
For students & alumni, schedule your appointment in Handshake & select “Professional Headshot Appointment”.
For faculty and staff, schedule your appointment here.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Solid colors work best. Avoid white so you don’t blend into the background.
- Make sure clothes are well pressed before the shoot. Wrinkles in clothes are difficult to edit out.
- Consider bringing a lint brush or roller with you.
- This is a headshot, so pants and shoes are generally not visible in the photo.
DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Check in to your appointment via the iPad at the front desk.
- Keep your chin down to help shape your face.
- Having your arms straight by your sides can look uncomfortable. Cross your arms, place your hands on your hips or your lap. Look confident, feel confident.
- Try removing your glasses to avoid glare.
- Turn slightly to one side and dip your shoulder towards the camera. Work your best angles.
- You will have the option to do some limited retouching and are limited to one retake per session.
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT
- You will receive an email and/or text with a link to your photos
- Upload your new headshot to your LinkedIn and Pioneers Connect platform!
The photobooth is self-service, but the Center for Career & Professional Development staff is available to offer assistance as needed. For students, alumni, faculty, and staff who need an accommodation for their headshot, please contact careerdev@sacredheart.edu.
