Handshakes & Headshots is an elevated networking experience for Black professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives in Gainesville — a space to step into the room with confidence, connect with intention, and walk away with professional content that represents who you are.

Here's the truth: we all need current professional headshots — for LinkedIn, our websites, our brands — but between the cost of a private session ($200–300) and finding the time, most of us keep putting it off. This event fixes that, and puts you in a room worth being in.

📅 Saturday, July 25, 2026
⏰ 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM
📍 Hotel Indigo, Gainesville, FL

✨ FULL EXPERIENCE — $100
• 2 professionally edited headshots (your choice of photographer, indoor or outdoor)
• Grooming touch-up lounge (barbers + makeup artists on site)
• Intentional networking with a curated room
• Live content capture for your brand
• Google review + onsite business support stations
• Charcuterie & champagne 🥂

🫱🏾‍🫲🏿NETWORKING ONLY — $40
• Intentional networking, live content capture, and business support stations

What you'll walk away with: professional photos that represent who you are now, meaningful connections that move you forward, and content to elevate your brand — all in one afternoon, for a fraction of what you'd pay to do it alone.

This is more than a networking event. No avatars. No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just real people, real conversations, and real presence. Come ready to be seen.
