You’ve added more team members but the office has been remote since March 2020. You would like to offer new staff portraits as part of your onboarding process but don’t know how to handle it.

Do THEY go to the office? Do YOU go to the office? How does it work when they’re taking photos? Do they take photos with their MASK ON?

I understand, it’s a scenario that many of our clients find themselves in and we’ve heard these questions and more since the world began working remotely.

Fortunately we recently had a great experience working with The Right Place, a long time client with an office in downtown Grand Rapids.

Knowing the office was “closed” and the team is working remotely, what did we do?

• Scheduled 15 minute increments for each person’s portrait

• Ensured there were not more people at the office than allowed

• Made sure team members could get “in and out” and didn’t have to wait around

• Allowed staff to schedule their day as needed and arrive on time for a portrait

The process of photographing staff portraits at the office did take longer than it usually does. However, it is because The Right Place wants to ensure their staff is safe and able to serve its clients and investors.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, we are here to help. Our job is to make it easy for you and your team, the same way we made it easy for The Right Place just a few weeks ago.

As always, we are here to make your media life easier. If you’d like to discuss your photo and video marketing plans for 2021, know that we are offering our best rates of the year with our “December Deals” sale as 2020 comes to a close.
