Kemp Photography brings a full portable studio to your insurance agency or carrier office and photographs the whole team in a day. Flat rates: Half Day $3,600, Full Day from $4,850, travel included. We have done it at scale: 552 headshots across offices in 12 states for Sentry Insurance in about one month.
Why insurance teams need consistent headshots
Insurance is a relationship business sold through people. A prospect picks an agent, an employer picks a carrier, a policyholder remembers a claims adjuster who picked up the phone. Faces help.
The trouble is distribution. Agencies and carriers are spread across offices, regions and sometimes dozens of states. Each place has its own photographer, its own backdrop and its own idea of a good smile. The company site ends up with a gallery that looks like several companies.
An on-site day replaces that with a standard. Same light, same background, same framing. Whether someone sits in the home office or a satellite branch, the page shows one organization.
Proof: the Sentry Insurance rollout
Sentry Insurance engaged Kemp Photography for a multi-state project: 552 headshots across offices in 12 states, completed in roughly one month. In the Nashville office alone, the crew handled 100+ sessions over two days in August 2025.
That project shows what a multi-office rollout actually looks like: one plan, one look, one crew model, repeated at each location. It is the reference point for any insurance firm with more than one office.
Where insurance headshots get used
- Agent and producer profile pages
- Carrier "About" and leadership pages
- Quote and enrollment pages where a named contact builds trust
- Email signatures for service, claims and sales teams
- Producer recruiting and agency-acquisition materials
- Employee communications and internal directories
- Press releases, award announcements and local sponsorship pages
- LinkedIn profiles for agents and employees
How does a headshot day work at an insurance office?
Kemp Photography sets up a portable studio in a conference room in about 45 to 60 minutes, then photographs each person in 2 to 3 minutes. For multi-state companies we plan a route, confirm each office's space and keep the recipe identical. Retouched finals typically arrive within 1 to 2 weeks.
Industry specifics worth planning for:
- Producer calendars. Agents are out meeting clients. Share the days when most people are in and we will schedule around them.
- Service and claims floors. Phones cannot stop. Use short rotating slots so coverage holds, and we will adapt on the day.
- Satellite offices. A two-person branch can be folded into a regional route instead of getting its own trip.
- A single coordinator per office. One local contact greets us at the door. Kemp Photography manages the schedule.
- Route planning. For multi-office projects, give us a list of locations and rough headcounts. We build the order and the calendar from there.
What style of headshot works for insurance?
Warm, trustworthy and local. The photo should look like someone you would call after a fender bender.
- Background. Soft gray or an off-white. Color can work if it is part of your brand, but check with us first.
- Wardrobe. Business or business-casual. A branded polo or blazer is fine when everyone is on the same page.
- Expression. Friendly and unrushed. Insurance buyers are often anxious, and an easy smile helps.
- Framing. Head and shoulders with some breathing room for different crops on mobile.
- Keep it uniform. The value of the program is that no one stands out as "the odd one." Agree on attire guidance before the day and share it with each office.
What does an insurance headshot day cost?
A flat day rate covers the whole crew visit. Half Day is $3,600 for about 50 to 60 people. Full Day begins at $4,850 and suits about 150 to 250 people. Multi-state rollouts are quoted individually, with travel included.
| Scenario | Likely fit | Rate | Illustrative math |
|---|---|---|---|
| Independent agency, up to ~60 | Half Day | $3,600 | Rate divided by headcount |
| Regional carrier office, ~150–250 | Full Day | From $4,850 | $4,850 ÷ 150 ≈ $32 per person (illustrative) |
| Multi-state organization | Multi-office plan | Quoted | Routing and extra sets as needed |
Insurance headshot FAQ
What did the Sentry Insurance project involve? Kemp Photography photographed 552 people across offices in 12 states in roughly one month. The Nashville office alone saw more than 100 sessions over two days in August 2025. The goal was one consistent look across every location.
Can a local agency with 15 people use this service? Yes. A small agency fits inside a Half Day, and sharing a day with nearby offices or partner agencies is worth raising when you request a quote.
How do you keep headshots consistent when we have offices in many states? We use the same lighting and background recipe everywhere, plan the route so a single crew covers multiple stops, and send the same lead photographer where possible. Kemp does not subcontract.
Do claims and call-center teams get photographed too? They can. Many insurers include claims, underwriting and service teams so internal directories and external pages feel complete. Tell us about shift patterns when you request a quote.
Can individual agents choose their own photo? Yes. Each person sees their images right away or in a private gallery, picks a favorite and receives that image retouched. The company gets a roster page with every proof and selection.
