Professional Headshots in Provo, Utah | Event Portraits for 400+ Attendees

If you're searching for professional headshots in Provo, Utah, here's a peek behind the scenes of a recent high-energy, fast-paced, and honestly so rewarding session. I was hired to provide quick, polished headshots for attendees and staff at a corporate event—and by the end of the day, I had photographed over 400 people!

Quick, Efficient Headshot Setup for High-Volume Events

I used a clean, grey pop-up backdrop for this session paired with my go-to one-light setup. With limited space and a high volume of people, keeping it simple and efficient was key. My goal was to make everyone feel comfortable, move quickly, and still deliver images that looked polished and professional.

Making People Feel Confident in Front of the Camera

Let’s be real—most people feel a little nervous in front of a camera, especially in a professional setting. I totally get it! That’s why I love throwing out a quick joke or finding a fun way to break the ice. Some attendees joked around, asking me to add hair or trade beards with their coworkers (if only Photoshop worked like that 😄). But honestly, the best part? Seeing their genuine surprise when they viewed their photos. I kept hearing, "Wait, that’s me?"—and it never gets old.

By the end of the day, people had started calling me “the wizard”—which might be my new favorite title. There’s just something so magical about helping someone see themselves in a whole new light. That quick moment of connection and confidence is what I live for.

Why I Love Shooting Headshots

There’s nothing more fulfilling than helping someone feel confident and look their best. Even during a fast-paced event, those tiny windows of time add up to big moments of connection. I loved meeting so many amazing people throughout the day and creating images they can proudly use across their professional platforms.
