Say "Cheese" at the Gale Booth

Join us at booth 905 to discover resources that fit your learners, and pose for a free professional headshot. Photos are available first come, first served in exchange for participating in a short survey on Saturday, June 28, and Sunday, June 29, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

  • Headshot Tips
    • Dress how you want to be portrayed! 
    • Avoid wearing items that may cast shadows, including heavy/solid earrings. Ensure ties and lapels are pressed flat.
    • Avoid wearing white or very light tops, unless under a darker jacket, as these may blend into the background. Dark and medium tones shoot best.
    • Avoid wearing ties, blouses, or other accessories that are too loud/have a heavy pattern.
    • Relax! This will be a low-pressure shoot in a friendly environment. Most people describe working with this photographer as having a conversation with a friend.
  • After Your Shoot

    You’ll be able to review and choose your headshot in the booth. 
  • A Note on Retouching

    The photographer may be able to remove spots or other minor things on your wardrobe, but can’t change the colors of your garments, how they fit, or shadows cast by or on them. Keep this in mind when selecting your outfit!
