Why Professional Headshots?
Professional headshots are an important component of your personal brand. Professional headshots are typically used in the following ways:

- Handshake profiles
- Websites (meet the team or personal features sections)
- Presentation or panel materials
- Any media feature
Usage Rules:

- Please only use the booth for professional headshots. Be respectful of individuals waiting to use the booth and only use it for its intended purpose. All photos can be reviewed by staff, please do not take inappropriate photos.
