About this Event

Your brand deserves to look as strong as the work you’re doing.

Brand Ready: Headshots + Lunch is a curated, midday experience designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, creatives, and job seekers who need an updated headshot—without the stress or time commitment of booking a full photo shoot.

Hosted at The Wright Village, this experience combines professional photography, lunch, and light networking in a relaxed and efficient setting. You’ll walk in hungry and walk out with a professional image you can confidently use across LinkedIn, websites, speaker bios, and more.

This is not a rushed photo line or a traditional networking mixer.
It’s intentional, welcoming, and designed to respect your time.


What’s Included

✔️ Professional headshot session (5–7 minutes)
✔️ 1 professionally retouched digital image
✔️ Lunch during the event
✔️ Light networking with local professionals and entrepreneurs
✔️ Option to purchase additional images directly from the photographer


Who Should Attend
  • Entrepreneurs & small business owners
  • Professionals updating LinkedIn or corporate profiles
  • Creatives refreshing their online presence
  • Job seekers and career switchers
  • Speakers, consultants, and community leaders

If your current headshot no longer reflects how you show up today, this event is for you.


What to Expect
  • 11:30–12:00 PM: Arrival, lunch, and networking
  • 12:00–1:45 PM: Headshot sessions (5–7 minutes per person)
  • 1:45–2:00 PM: Wrap-up and closing

Each attendee will rotate through individual headshot sessions to ensure a smooth, unhurried experience.


What to Wear

Choose an outfit that reflects how you want to show up professionally.
Solid colors and minimal patterns photograph best. Feel free to bring a jacket, accessory, or second look if desired.
