Headshots in Thousand Palms. A whole team in 1 afternoon, retouched fast.
The headshot work here is almost entirely teams rather than individuals, because the businesses out here are operations with staff rather than one person who needs a new photograph for a bio.
That changes what matters. Consistency across the set beats any single frame, because these end up side by side on a website or a wall, and a row of portraits that were clearly shot in four different places looks worse than a row of plainer ones that match.

The Thousand Palms problem: finding a wall that works
An industrial or warehouse building rarely has a corner that photographs well, and the conference room usually has a window at the wrong end of it. I bring the backdrop and the lights, so what I actually need is about eight feet of floor and a door I can close. That is nearly always findable, and it means your set does not depend on the building.

Questions
Common questions
Do you come to our Thousand Palms office?
Yes, every headshot session is on location. I bring the lighting, the backdrop and the stands, and I need about eight feet of clear floor and a few minutes to set up.
How many people can you photograph in one session?
A full team in an afternoon, working through a few people at a time so nobody stands around. For larger operations running shifts, I would rather plan the slots around the shift change than have people leave the floor.
How much do headshots cost in Thousand Palms?
From $285 for one person. Teams are quoted on how many people and where, and extra retouched selects are $65 each. No travel charge anywhere in the valley.
Can we shoot against something other than a plain backdrop?
Yes, if the building gives us something worth using. A clean bay door, a branded wall or a bit of the operation behind the subject can all work, and it ties the portrait to the business in a way a white backdrop does not.
Do you charge travel to Thousand Palms?
No. There is no travel fee anywhere from Desert Hot Springs to Indio, and Thousand Palms is inside that. You pay the same rate as anyone else in the valley.
How far ahead should I book?
A week is usually plenty for one person. A team takes a little more planning, mostly to find an hour when everybody is actually in the building, so give those a couple of weeks.
