Law Firm Photography: 500 Attorneys. 12 Offices. One Overwhelmed Marketing Team.
- 11 November 2026
The Real Challenge Isn’t Just Taking the Photos
Keeping a law firm’s visual content current is an ongoing responsibility. Attorneys join, partners get promoted, practice groups evolve, and offices grow. Every change creates new photography and video needs.
For marketing teams, that means managing more than the creative work itself:
-
Multiple locations: Coordinating photographers, schedules, and logistics across cities and time zones.
-
Outstanding headshots: Keeping track of attorneys who missed sessions or still need updated portraits.
-
Brand consistency: Making sure photography looks cohesive across offices, even when different photographers are involved.
-
Video production: Coordinating attorney interviews, firm culture videos, and event coverage across locations.
-
Internal follow-ups: Managing reminders, approvals, image requests, and project updates
It’s a lot to manage alongside campaigns, events, business development initiatives, and everything else on the marketing calendar.
Three Ways to Simplify Photography Across Multiple Offices
Spreadsheets and email threads can work for small projects, but they become difficult to maintain when hundreds of attorneys are involved.
Establish one centralized place to track who’s scheduled, who’s been photographed, who’s awaiting image selection, and who still needs an updated headshot.
This gives your team a clearer picture of progress without constantly chasing updates across offices.
When different photographers are working in different cities, consistency doesn’t happen automatically.
Establish guidelines for lighting, backgrounds, posing, composition, and editing before photography begins. The goal isn’t to make every portrait identical, but to create a cohesive visual identity across the firm.
The same principle applies to video. Consistent creative direction, production standards, and editing help content from different locations feel like part of the same brand.
3. Make Photography Part of Your Ongoing Marketing Operations
Rather than treating photography as a one-time project, build it into regular firm processes.
Coordinate headshots with new-hire onboarding, plan sessions around office needs, and review photography requirements as teams grow or change.
A little planning can prevent a lot of last-minute scrambling.
One Place to See What’s Done and What’s Still Missing
Of course, having a good process is only half the challenge. You also need the right tools to manage it.
That’s one reason Gittings Global developed its client portal.
Instead of relying on scattered spreadsheets and email updates, marketing teams can use the portal to:
- Track photography progress across offices.
- See which attorneys are scheduled, photographed, or awaiting completion.
- Identify individuals who still need updated headshots.
- Access and download completed images.
- Manage upcoming photography sessions and image approvals.
For firms managing hundreds of attorneys, that visibility can make a meaningful difference in the day-to-day workload.
