Kemp Photography brings a full portable studio to your Philadelphia office and photographs the whole team in a single visit. No studio visits, no scheduling gymnastics. You pay one flat half-day or full-day rate, and our own crew's travel is already in it.
Why Philadelphia teams book an on-site headshot day
Philadelphia is a city of eds, meds and expertise, and almost all of it lives on bios. Universities, hospital systems and research institutes sit next to law firms, insurers, banks and the consulting shops that serve them. Life sciences clusters across the region, from University City out to the Main Line and the suburban corridor along the Schuylkill.
That mix produces a steady, specific demand for headshots. Law firms need attorney pages. Medical groups need provider profiles that patients can recognize in the waiting room. Research organizations need investigator photos for grant submissions, conference materials and lab websites. Professional services firms need a team page that matches the polish of the pitch.
What makes Philadelphia different is that teams are often spread across a campus or a few buildings rather than one tower. A traveling studio fits that. One room, one day, everyone rotates through.
Typical uses:
- Provider and physician directories
- Attorney, advisor and partner bios
- Grant applications and investigator pages
- Alumni, board and development materials
How a headshot day works in a Philadelphia office
Philadelphia office stock ranges from glass towers in Center City to converted warehouses in Old City and low-slung campuses in the suburbs. We plan around whichever you have.
- Book. Share headcount, address and target dates. A 50% retainer reserves the date.
- Scout the room. We need roughly 10 by 20 feet and an outlet. In a rowhouse-style building, a ground floor meeting room is often best.
- Setup. We show up about an hour before the first session. Stands, backdrop and a monitor go up while your team keeps working.
- Shoot. Two to three minutes per person, scheduled in slots so clinics, courtrooms and desks stay covered.
- Select. Staff see their images right away or in a private gallery and choose one.
- Deliver. Retouching of each pick is included, with finals typically in one to two weeks.
Parking is the one Philadelphia detail worth planning. In Center City, we ask whether there is a garage or a loading zone near the entrance. In the suburbs, a surface lot usually settles it. If your building requires a COI before vendors enter, we provide one on request.
What does a corporate headshot day cost in Philadelphia?
Our Philadelphia Half Day is $3,600, built for roughly 50 to 60 people. The Full Day is $4,850, built for roughly 150 to 250. The rate holds across the day, and travel from Orange County is included rather than added on top.
| Package | Flat rate | Typical headcount | Illustrative cost per person |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half Day | $3,600 | ~50–60 | ~$60–$72 |
| Full Day | $4,850 | ~150–250 | ~$19–$32 |
| Multi-set or multi-day | Quoted | 250+ | Quoted |
The last column is a back-of-the-envelope illustration, not a quote. A group of 200 at the Full Day rate works out to just over $24 each. Two or three buildings, or a headcount past 250, move you into a multi-set quote.

Multi-office companies with a Philadelphia location
A Philadelphia office is often one node in a network, whether that is a regional practice, a branch of a national firm or a lab affiliated with a larger institute. The risk is a site where every location looks like a different company.
Our fix is boring on purpose: identical lighting, identical background, and the same lead photographer whenever we can manage it. Your Philadelphia staff will look like they belong with the people in Chicago and Boston.
Kemp Photography delivered 552 headshots for Sentry Insurance across offices in 12 states in about a month, so coordinating multiple sites is something we do routinely. We do not have a past Philadelphia job to point to, and we would rather say so than invent one. We travel to you from Orange County.
Philadelphia headshot day FAQ
How much do team headshots cost in Philadelphia?
A Half Day is $3,600 for roughly 50 to 60 people and a Full Day is $4,850 for roughly 150 to 250. Both are flat daily rates with travel from Orange County built in. If you have several buildings or more than a day of staff, we quote it as a multi-set job.
We are in an older Center City building. Will the crew manage?
Almost certainly. Our kit is compact, so old elevators and narrow halls are workable. Tell us about stairs, freight access and any loading-hour rules at booking, and we will plan the load-in so nothing is a surprise on the day. A certificate of insurance is available on request if property management asks.
Do you cover offices outside the city?
Yes. King of Prussia, Conshohocken, Radnor, Malvern, Cherry Hill and Wilmington are all routine for a crew that travels. Suburban office parks usually mean surface parking and a door close to the room, which makes setup quicker than in a tower.
How does booking work, and when should we start?
A 50% retainer reserves the date. Start a few weeks out if you can, and earlier if you want a specific week around quarter-end or a hiring wave. Call (714) 912-0766 or send a quote request with headcount and building details.
Can we shoot our hospital or lab staff in shifts?
Often, yes. We schedule short slots so clinicians, researchers and administrators step in for a couple of minutes between duties. A dedicated, quiet room with an outlet is all we need. We work around your workflow rather than asking you to move it.
Will Philadelphia photos match our other offices?
Yes. We use the same lighting and background recipe in every city and try to keep the same lead photographer across locations. A Philadelphia directory shot in the spring will sit comfortably next to a Boston or Washington directory shot in the fall.
