The question we get more than any other:
"We have our annual conference in Nashville — we need headshots, we have a gala dinner the second night, and half our executive team needs to be camera-ready for video interviews throughout. Can you handle all of that?"
Yes. That is exactly what we do.
The Nashville Corporate Event Problem Nobody Talks About
You've booked the venue. The JW Marriott, the Gaylord Opryland, the Omni, the Renaissance — Nashville has some of the best convention and event hotels in the country and you've secured the right one. You've got the agenda locked. The keynote speakers are confirmed. The AV team is set.
And then someone asks: who's doing the headshots? And what about hair and makeup for the gala?
Most companies scramble at this point. They book a photographer who doesn't have a grooming partner. They hire a makeup artist who's never worked a convention floor. They end up with mismatched vendors who don't communicate, a rushed headshot setup that runs behind, and executives walking into their gala dinner without anyone making sure they actually look the part.
That is the problem Pink Mantis Beauty and Nashville Creative House were built to solve — together.
The Package: Pink Mantis Beauty x Nashville Creative House
Nashville Creative House is Nashville's premier corporate event photography and videography studio. They specialize in exactly what your company needs — professional headshot days, event coverage, executive interviews, brand content, and the kind of polished visual deliverables that make your organization look like it takes itself seriously. Because it does.
Pink Mantis Beauty is Nashville's premier mobile corporate hair and makeup studio. Founded by Stephanie Wilson — a trained production assistant, wardrobe stylist, and hair and makeup artist with over a decade of full-time professional experience — Pink Mantis Beauty brings a rare triple expertise to every corporate engagement. Stephanie doesn't just do the makeup. She understands how a production runs, how clothing and color interact with lighting, and how to manage the visual presentation of every person in front of the camera from the first attendee to the last.
Together, we are Nashville's most experienced corporate event creative team. When you book us as a package, your event gets two experts who have worked together, communicate seamlessly, and deliver a cohesive result across every visual touchpoint — from the headshot suite to the gala floor.
What a Multi-Day Corporate Event Actually Looks Like With Us
Take the Style Dot headshot day at Hotel Indigo Nashville as an example of what this partnership looks like in practice.
Nashville Creative House handled the photography setup — location scouting within the hotel, lighting configuration, backdrop selection, and session scheduling for the full Style Dot team. Pink Mantis Beauty ran the grooming station, prepping every team member before they stepped in front of the camera — skin prep, shine control, light coverage, hair finishing, and brow grooming tailored to each individual.
The result was a complete set of cohesive, on-brand headshots where every person looked polished, confident, and genuinely like themselves — delivered on time, on schedule, without a single disruption to the rest of the team's day.
That's what a real professional package looks like. No scrambling. No mismatched vendors. No running behind. Just two experts doing what they do best, working in sync.
Multi-Day Events — This Is Where We Shine
Most corporate events in Nashville aren't one-day operations. Conferences run two, three, four days. Conventions have opening night receptions, full convention floor days, executive dinner programs, and closing galas. Each day has different visual demands — and each day requires a beauty and photography team that can keep up.
Pink Mantis Beauty is built for multi-day engagements. With a trained eye across production, wardrobe, and makeup, Stephanie manages the full visual continuity of your talent and executives across every day of your event. Looks are documented and recreated precisely. Touch-up schedules are built into the event timeline. The grooming station operates with military precision — 65 professional brushes, single-use applicators, and a full sanitation protocol that means every person receives service with a completely clean, safe tool.
Nashville Creative House brings the same multi-day discipline to photography and videography — building shot lists that work across the full event arc, capturing content that serves both day-of needs and long-term brand use.
Black Tie Galas, Dinner Events & Award Ceremonies
Here is the other question we get constantly: "Can you do hair and makeup for our gala?"
Yes — and this is actually where Pink Mantis Beauty's event glam background becomes a major asset. A corporate gala is not a standard event makeup call. It's a sophisticated, high-stakes appearance where executives, award recipients, and keynote speakers need to look exceptional under event lighting, on camera, and in front of their peers and clients.
Pink Mantis Beauty specializes in exactly this kind of work — long-wear, camera-ready, sophisticated glam for high-profile appearances. Whether it's a black tie awards dinner, a convention closing ceremony, a corporate holiday gala, or a client appreciation event, we bring the same level of artistry that we bring to celebrity and production clients.
And when Nashville Creative House is capturing the event — which they should be — the combination of professional beauty and professional photography produces content that your company will actually want to use. Not just a photo dump. Real, usable brand content.
Large Groups — We Have a Team
One of the most common concerns we hear: "We have 80 people who need headshots and 40 who need glam for the gala — can you actually handle that?"
Yes. Pink Mantis Beauty has a licensed artist team available for large group corporate events. Multiple artists, coordinated schedules, unified standards. Every person gets the same level of attention and the same quality of result — whether they're first in the chair at 8am or the last executive through at 5pm.
If your event is large, time-sensitive, or multi-day — that is not a complication for us. That is our specialty.
Why Nashville Companies Keep Coming Back
The answer is simple: when your corporate event looks exceptional — the headshots are sharp, the gala photos are stunning, the video interviews are polished — your team feels it. Your executives feel confident. Your clients notice. And the next time the annual conference rolls around, the conversation isn't "who should we book?" It's "call Pink Mantis Beauty and Nashville Creative House again."
That is the standard we set at Style Dot. That is the standard we bring to every corporate engagement in Nashville.
Great corporate headshots aren't just about the camera — they're about how ready someone feels walking up to it. For this shoot, Pink Mantis Beauty partnered with Nashville Creative House to provide on-site grooming for the Style Dot team at Hotel Indigo Nashville, keeping every team member polished and camera-ready throughout a full day of individual sessions.
This kind of corporate headshot day is exactly what the Corporate service is built for — no wasted time, no one sent back to touch up between shots, just a smooth, professional day from first headshot to last. With a full roster of employees cycling through, the priority was consistency: every person needed to look sharp and camera-ready under the same lighting, without losing their own natural look in the process.
Working alongside Nashville Creative House meant the day moved efficiently — grooming stayed a few steps ahead of the camera at all times, so there was never a bottleneck between hair, makeup, and the next shot. That kind of coordination is the difference between a headshot day that drags and one that wraps on schedule with a full team looking their best.
If your company or brand is planning a headshot day, corporate event, or convention appearance in Nashville, this is the kind of seamless, on-site experience Pink Mantis Beauty delivers — see more from this shoot in the Corporate portfolio.
Nashville Is the Experience. We Make Sure They Remember It.
There's a reason companies keep choosing Nashville for their annual conferences, conventions, and corporate retreats. Music City delivers an experience that no other city in America quite replicates — the energy, the venues, the food, the culture, the sense that something memorable is always happening.
But here's what most event planners don't think about until after the fact: what do your attendees take home from that experience?
They take home a photo.
Not just any photo — a professional headshot that makes them look extraordinary. A gala portrait that captures them at their best, in one of Nashville's most stunning venues, on a night they'll talk about for years. A memory that every time they look at it, they don't just think about their job. They think about Nashville. They think about that conference. They think about how good they felt that night.
That is the upsell that most corporate event planners have never considered — and once they experience it, they never plan an event without it again.
When you add Pink Mantis Beauty to your Nashville corporate event package, you're not just providing a service. You're giving every attendee a reason to look forward to your conference. A reason to show up early for the headshot suite. A reason to get dressed up for the gala. A reason to post the photo, share the memory, and tell their colleagues about the event that actually made them feel seen.
Nashville is already doing half the work. It's a city that makes people feel something. Pink Mantis Beauty makes sure they look as good as they feel — and Nashville Creative House makes sure that moment is captured forever.
Book us for your Nashville corporate event and your attendees won't just attend. They'll come back. Every year.
