JCPenney Announces Snapshot for Success for Customers to Unlock Opportunity with a Free Professional Headshot

The limited-time offer will be available at JCPenney Portraits by Lifetouch to 3,000 customers at no cost beginning Jan. 10

JCPenney believes that everyone deserves the chance to pursue the career of their dreams. Professional headshots are a central part of the 21st-century job search, critical for remote work, and especially valuable when overcoming resume gaps or joining the workforce for the first time. But often, they can also be cost-prohibitive and difficult to access.

In addition to a discount, the in-store team advises students on the latest career fashion trends, how a suit should fit, what size is best for them, how to tie a tie, and more. In 2024, there are already over 200 Suit Up events scheduled at JCPenney stores across the country between January and April.
