Same-day sessions start at $350. Rush finals delivered in 24–48 hours.
Call or Text
Maybe you just got booked for a press feature and the publication needs a photo by end of day. Maybe you have a board presentation tomorrow and your current headshot is five years old. Maybe you're starting a new job on Monday and need your photo on the company website before you walk through the door. Maybe your Psychology Today profile just went live and you used a phone photo as a placeholder and it's embarrassing you every time a potential client clicks through.
Whatever the reason — we can help. Today.
Our Jack London Square studio in Oakland has availability for same-day and rush sessions. You call or text, we confirm a time, you come in, and you leave with a session completed and a proofing gallery on its way.
Same-day solo sessions start at $350 — same price as a standard studio session, no rush premium. Rush editing gets your final images to you in 24–48 hours instead of the standard 1–2 weeks.
How Same Day Sessions Work
Book: Call or text Sergio at (510) 506-4892 to confirm same-day availability. We'll get you in as quickly as possible — same morning, same afternoon, or same evening depending on the day.
Shoot: Sessions run 30–45 minutes at our private studio at Jack London Square. Every shot is fully directed — posture, expression, framing, lighting. You don't need to know how to pose. We handle everything.
Gallery: Proofing gallery delivered within 24 hours of your session — often the same evening. You review your shots and select your finals.
Finals: Rush edited final images delivered within 24–48 hours. High-resolution files for print and web-optimized files for LinkedIn, your website, press materials, and every other platform where your headshot needs to appear.
Same day, start to finish. You arrive, you shoot, you have a proofing gallery by tonight.
Pricing
Same-Day Solo Session — $350, same as a standard studio session, with no rush premium. Includes 2 professionally edited images, with additional images available at $75 each. Proofing gallery delivered within 24 hours, final images within 24–48 hours.
Rush Team Headshot Days — $175 per person with a 10-person minimum, starting at $1,750 — standard team pricing applies. Rush turnaround availability depends on team size and location, so call to confirm timing for your group. No travel fee anywhere in the Bay Area.
Call or text (510) 506-4892 to confirm same-day availability before booking — the fastest way to lock in a rush slot.

Who Books Same Day Sessions
Professionals with press deadlines. A journalist just reached out for a comment. A podcast wants you on tomorrow. A publication is running a profile and needs your photo in two hours. We've been there. Call us.
New hires and onboarding professionals. Starting a new job and need your headshot on the company website before your first day. Your new employer sent the staff page link and your photo is a grey silhouette. We can fix that today.
Executives with last-minute needs. Board presentation tomorrow. Investor meeting on Friday. Conference speaker profile due by end of week. Your old headshot from 2019 is not the right photo for this moment. Come in today.
Founders and entrepreneurs. A VC just asked for your headshot for their portfolio page. A journalist is writing a profile of your company and needs a photo of you by noon. Your pitch deck has a placeholder where your headshot should be. Today is the day.
Therapists and healthcare professionals. Your Psychology Today profile just went live. Your hospital directory is live with a placeholder. A new practice website is launching Friday and your photo isn't ready. We specialize in therapist headshots and we can get you in today.
Anyone who's been putting it off. The most common thing we hear: "I've been meaning to do this for months." The best time to do it is now. If you're reading this page, you have a reason. Call us.
Getting to the Studio Fast
Our studio at Jack London Square in Oakland is one of the most accessible locations in the entire Bay Area — designed for exactly this kind of last-minute session.
By BART: About 10 minutes on foot from the 12th Street Oakland City Center station. From San Francisco's Embarcadero or Montgomery it's a 20-minute straight shot. From Berkeley it's 10 minutes.
By car: Easy off I-880 and I-580. Street parking available on Jack London Square — no parking garage needed, no downtown SF parking rates.
From San Francisco: 15–20 minutes across the Bay Bridge from downtown. Faster than getting to most SF studios if you're fighting traffic.
From the East Bay: Berkeley, Emeryville, and Alameda are all within 10–15 minutes.
Same Day for New Hires — Matching Your Team
If you're a new hire at a Bay Area company that has an existing headshot standard — same lighting, same backdrop, same quality as your colleagues — we can match that on a same-day basis. Call us, tell us where you work, and if your company has had a headshot day with Camerawerkz before, we have your setup on file. You come in, we recreate the environment precisely, and your headshot goes live on the staff page matching everyone else on the team.
If your company used a different photographer, bring us a sample of the existing team headshots and we'll get as close as possible to that standard.
Rush Team Headshots
Same-day and rush availability isn't just for individuals. If your organization needs a team headshot day on short notice — a new client just asked for headshots for a pitch, a website launch is happening Friday, a press event is tomorrow — call us.
We can often accommodate rush team headshot days with 24–48 hours notice, depending on team size and location. Onsite at your Bay Area office or at our Oakland studio. Same quality, faster timeline. Standard team pricing applies — $175 per person, 10-person minimum.
