Team Headshots

Remote Team Headshots, Built for Founders and Distributed Companies

You're shipping a new website. Your team just doubled. The headshots on the about page are still from the last company. We get you to a real team page in the first week, on whatever credits you can spare.

THE PROBLEM

Founder is the brand. A scrappy team page makes everything else look scrappy too

You've shipped a new product, raised a round, hired the next eight people. The website looks the way it's supposed to. Then a visitor scrolls to the team page. A stock-photo CEO, two mismatched LinkedIn crops, a placeholder rectangle for the head of engineering who joined last month. Scrappy in the wrong way.

The team page is the first scan a prospect runs before deciding whether you're a real company. Stale or inconsistent team headshots devalue everything else you just built.

THE SOLUTION

The self-service headshots platform for founders shipping the team page

Set your brand standard once. Every founder, every first hire, every contractor captures from their phone. Brand-style enforcement is automatic, so the team page reads as intentional rather than thrown together.

Free workspace. 3 free credits to start, so you can ship the first three headshots before you've made a purchase decision. From 5 people to 50,000+.

Ship 3 founder headshots before lunch.

Setup is 10 minutes. Your first 3 credits are on us, so the founder, the CTO, and the head of product can have matching headshots on the team page before the end of the day. No photographer to book, no Saturday studio session.


How Scale Works

From kickoff to live team headshots in four steps.

Configure brand style, background, and crop in 10 minutes. Free workspace, you only pay for approved headshots.

Send the founder a link. Add the first 5 hires when they start. Every employee captures from their phone with guided instructions. No app to install.

Submissions land in the admin dashboard. Approve, request a retake, or hand off to a co-founder. Up to 5 retakes per credit, no extra charge.

One photo, every format. Website bio, LinkedIn, email signature, Slack avatar. New hires plug into the same workspace; credits never expire.

Built for founders and growing teams

3 free credits to start

Founder, co-founder, first hire on the house. Ship the first 3 team headshots before you've made a purchase decision.

No contracts

No subscriptions, no minimums, no procurement conversation. Buy credits as you hire. Cancel any time by doing nothing.

Brand-style enforcement

Background, color treatment, and crop are set once at the platform level. No founder has to play art director to get the team page to look intentional.

Set up in 10 minutes

Founder configures the Studio between meetings. Send invites to the team. Approve from phone over coffee. The whole rollout runs in the background while you ship the product.

Why Scale

12-person founding team. The math is decisive.

Scale Headshots Traditional Photography
Per-headshot cost $25 per credit (first 3 free) $150-$300 per person at startup volume rates
12-person founding team $225 (12 credits at $25, first 3 free = $225 net) $1,800-$3,600 at per-person rates
New-hire cost $25 each, on demand Reschedule a session for one person
Time to ship the team page A few days at the team's pace 3-6 weeks coordinating a photographer and edits
Remote founders and hires Yes, automatically. Same workspace from day one. Either skipped or flown in at extra cost

Pay only for the team headshots that make it onto the team page.

Credits start at $25. First 3 are free. No subscriptions, no contracts. And the dollar savings don't account for the founder hours you save not coordinating a photographer or scheduling a studio day.

AI edited, not generated

Real photos of real founders, polished to your brand standard.

Scale Headshots captures real photos from your team. The AI handles enhancement at the level you choose: light touch for a minimal-looking founder portrait, full polish for the marketing site, no polish at all if your brand is intentionally raw. The output is a photo of the person, the way they actually look. AI edited, not generated. Dress up like you want to dress up.

  • Background removal and replacement to your brand standard
  • Lighting and color correction across every capture environment
  • Upscaling so a phone capture renders sharp on any screen size
  • Brand-style enforcement applied identically to every approved photo
Before: Original employee photos with varied backgrounds
After: AI-enhanced headshots with consistent backgrounds and lighting

Ship the team page before launch, not three quarters later.

Founders sign up Monday, send invites Tuesday, approve headshots Wednesday, update the team page Thursday. Free workspace, no contracts. Buy credits when you're sure, not before.

Different team size? Scale has a page for that.

Sub-100 employee companies running the rollout without a dedicated marketing team. One workspace, every employee captures from their phone.

Team Headshot FAQ

Can my whole founding team get headshots done before launch?

Yes. Setup is 10 minutes. The founder, co-founders, and first hires capture from wherever they are, phone or laptop camera. Most founding teams ship the team page within a few days of sending the first invite. Your first 3 credits are on us, so the first three headshots are free.

Do you have a freelancer or agency rate for designers managing this for clients?

Yes. Designers, freelancers, and agencies running brand rollouts for multiple clients can set up separate Studios per client under one account. Each client gets its own brand standard, approval workflow, and credit pool. Send sales a note about your volume and we'll set up agency pricing.

What if our team is fully remote?

That's the standard pattern. Scale was built for this. Every employee captures from wherever they work, home office, kitchen counter, or a coffee shop with decent light. The brand-style enforcement at the platform level keeps the output consistent. No flying anyone in, no coordinating a single studio day.

How long does a 12-person founding team rollout take?

Most founder rollouts complete within a few days of sending the first invite. Setup is 10 minutes. Capture happens at each person's own pace. Approval runs in parallel. The traditional photographer model usually runs 3 to 6 weeks for the same scope, longer if anyone's traveling.

What happens to credits if our team changes?

Credits don't expire. Buy 15 to cover the founding team plus expected hires, and if hiring slows down the credits stay in your account. If you grow faster than planned, top up at the same volume tier. No subscriptions, no minimums.

Can my team use their phones, or do they need a real camera?

Phones are fine. Modern smartphone cameras capture more than enough resolution for a professional team headshot once Scale's AI handles lighting correction, background removal, and upscaling. The capture interface walks each person through framing on whatever camera they have.

Do you provide brand-aligned styles by default, or do we configure them?

Both work. Scale ships with default backgrounds, color treatments, and crops that look professional on any team page out of the box. If your brand needs specific styling (custom backdrop hex, particular crop ratio, brand-aligned color grade), the admin sets that once in the Studio configuration and every team headshot automatically conforms.

What if someone leaves the team after we've paid for their headshot?

Nothing changes. The credit was spent on the approved headshot; the photo file stays in your workspace for as long as you want. New hires don't reuse old credits; they get their own. The workspace is yours, not the individual employee's.

How is this different from AI headshot generators?

Scale works with real photos captured by your team. The AI handles enhancement (background, lighting, color, upscaling, brand-style enforcement). The output is a photo of the person, the way they actually look. AI edited, not generated. AI generators (the BetterPic / HeadshotPro category) train a model on selfies and produce a synthetic image that's stylistically close to the person but isn't actually them. For team headshots that go on your website, on LinkedIn, and in front of investors, the trust signal of a real photo matters.

How is employee photo data stored and protected?

Photos are transferred over TLS and stored on Scale's cloud providers (Linode and Google Cloud Platform), which provide default encryption at rest. Customer-account access is controlled by the admin team you designate. Scale Headshots is operated by Helium Development LLC; the operator's broader security posture, including the subprocessor list, is documented at heliumdev.com/security. For organizations with specific InfoSec requirements, sales will scope answers to your team's review questions.

Is Scale a headshot platform for distributed teams?

Yes. Scale is a headshot platform made for remote and distributed teams. Everyone captures their own headshot from wherever they are, on any device, and the platform edits them to a single consistent brand standard. No one travels to a studio and no shoot needs scheduling, so even a fully remote team gets a matching set of headshots.
