#LevelUp with the Toppel Career Center Headshot Photo Booth

The Toppel Career Center now offers FREE professional headshots! With our new self-service professional headshot photo booth, you can stop by any time Monday – Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM to take your headshot with no appointment necessary. It is open to all students and alumni, as well as to faculty & staff.

When you arrive at Toppel, head toward the career coaching area and you can’t miss it. After you enter the booth, you just scan the QR code, enter your Cane email (@miami.edu), follow the instructions, and you’ll be able to control the photo booth right on your phone with ease. The photo booth offers you a tutorial and allows you to take up to three photos in one session (plus one retake) and the choice for you to edit & send to your email.

Business professional or business casual attire is recommended, but here are some tips on how you may want to present yourself for your professional headshot photo.

What should you wear?

  • Solid colors are best and mid-range to darker/deeper shades are encouraged.
  • Avoid large amounts of white and other light/bright colors because they may draw attention away from your face.
  • Solid black should also be avoided as the detail does not capture well in photos (light and dark colors are both fine if you wear a jacket or sweater).
If you require wheelchair or other accommodations, please email us at toppel@miami.edu to make an appointment to have your professional headshot taken for you. Please visit our website for more information.

Anaya Iglesias

Career Education Intern

Meet Anaya Iglesias, a sophomore Nursing major with a minor in Public Health. She is currently a part of the Outreach Committee and ECO Agency in Student Government, the secretary of Women's Ultimate Frisbee, and a Resident Assistant (RA) in Mahoney.

In order to be financially wise and stay on track to graduate with a BS in Nursing, she applied to be a RA, which covers housing/dining. The position is teaching her a lot of great time management skills and interpersonal communication tactics. She cites that Toppel helped her #LevelUp because her position as a CE Intern allowed her to gain the experience necessary to be selected as a RA. Now that she has two campus jobs, she’s extremely grateful for the connections she has made with coworkers and faculty, which will last the next three years and beyond!

Piece of Advice:
“Treat others the way you want to be treated. I've come to realize that some kindness goes a long way inside and outside of University.”
