Professional Portrait Sessions

Need an updated professional portrait? Missouri S&T offers free monthly portrait sessions for employees in the studio located in the marketing and communications office. These sessions are led by a professional photographer and provide high-quality, lightly retouched headshot photos.

• Appointments are required, and you can register at go.mst.edu/scheduleportrait.
• Sessions are held in room 155 of the Kummer Student Design Center.
• Each employee will receive one final photo from the session.

Please note that a $25-50 fee may be charged for late cancellations or no-shows. We understand that schedules can be unpredictable, so if an emergency comes up, simply let us know at marketing@mst.edu as soon as possible.

Self-Portrait Station

For a quick and convenient option, Missouri S&T also provides a free self-portrait station located in the career opportunities and employer relations office on the third floor of Norwood Hall. This walk-in service is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The self-portrait station puts you in control – you can capture your own headshot and send it to yourself via AirDrop (for Apple users) or by email. No registration is required, and the images are not edited.

Tips for Your Portrait

Whether you choose the professional session or the self-portrait station, it's important to dress for success. Opt for business or business casual attire, and avoid hats, t-shirts, and large logos. Solid, neutral colors work best against the gray background.

• A solid gray background is used for studio portraits. Please dress appropriately for photographs — business or business casual attire is best.
• We strongly recommend solid, neutral colors.
• We advise against wearing any bright or neon colors and high-contrast patterns.
• No wrinkled clothing, hats, t-shirts, or large logos please.
