Free Professional Headshots Friday 3/29/2019 in Stamp

Stop by to take a free professional headshot for your professional profiles (Careers4Terps, LinkedIn, etc.)! Please note: This is a free service. For the sake of fairness and time, the photographer will only send you ONE (1) photo of the three you take.

• No appointment necessary--this is a drop-in event.
• During larger fairs (ex. Spring Career & Internship Fair) it may, at peak times, take you 30 minutes to reach the front of the line. Expect to take five minutes or less with the photographer.
• Our photographer will take three photos and email you the single photo (1) of your choice from the three options.
• We photograph from your mid-chest up, so if you're only coming to take a photo and not to attend the Career & Internship Fair, feel free to bring a professional shirt but forego professional slacks or skirts if that is easier for you.

You can expect your photo sent out within 7 business days post-event.

All attendees in line by 11:30 a.m. are guaranteed a photo. This event is open to all UMD students.
