We bring the studio to you.
On-location headshots in Des Moines mean your team stays exactly where they are. We load a full professional lighting kit, backdrop system, and everything we need — and set it up in a 10×10 ft space at your office.
Our gear runs entirely on battery power, so there's no outlet hunting, no IT tickets, and no extension cords in your hallway. We arrive, set up quietly, and photograph each person in 3–5 minutes without disrupting your day.
- Pro studio lighting — not your office's overhead fluorescents
- Backdrop choices matched to your brand
- Professional retouching included on every photo
- 100% money-back guarantee on every session
What we need on-site.
Our mobile studio is built around three simple requirements. Clear a corner of a conference room and we are ready to go.
A 10×10 ft clear space
A conference room corner or any wall with about 10 feet of clearance. No heavy furniture rearranging — we are compact by design and work around your space.
3–5 minutes per person
Each team member is coached, photographed, and reviewed on-screen in about 3–5 minutes. A team of 20 wraps up in under two hours — your day stays mostly intact.
No power outlet needed
Our lighting runs entirely on battery power. Zero extension cords, zero tripping hazards, zero IT approval required. We are completely self-contained from setup to teardown.
The same quality you'd get in our studio.
The biggest concern most HR and marketing teams have about on-site headshots is consistency. Will everyone look like they belong on the same website?
Yes. We use the same professional lighting ratios, backdrop selections, and cropping standards at your office that we use in our northwest Des Moines studio. Every photo in the set matches — across departments, across floors, even when new hires join months later.
- Matched lighting, crop, and backdrop across every photo
- Posing coaching for each person — no stiff or awkward shots
- Photos labeled by employee for easy gallery handoff

Frequently asked questions.
How much space do you need to set up at our office?
We work in a 10×10 ft footprint — a conference room corner, an open lobby section, or any wall with about 10 feet of clearance. We confirm the exact spot with you before we arrive so there are no surprises on the day.
How long does each team member take?
Most employees are done in 3–5 minutes. That includes a quick posing coach, several frames at different expressions, and a moment to review their best shot on-screen before heading back to their desk. A team of 20 typically wraps in under two hours.
Do you need access to a power outlet?
No. Our entire lighting system runs on battery power. No extension cords, no tripping hazards, no IT approval required. We are completely self-contained from setup to teardown.
How far do you travel for on-location sessions?
We serve all of the Des Moines metro — West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, Johnston, Clive, Waukee, Altoona, Ames, and the surrounding region. For larger groups, we travel up to 150 miles. Travel is always included in your quote — no added fees.
Can you match the style of our existing team headshots?
In most cases, yes. Share a few examples of your current photos when you request a quote and we'll confirm how closely we can match the backdrop, lighting, and crop. This is especially important for ongoing new-hire sessions that need to blend with an existing team page.
What is the minimum group size for on-location sessions?
On-location sessions are designed for groups of 2 or more. If you need a solo headshot, our northwest Des Moines studio is a great option — sessions start at $169, retouching included, available most weekdays.
