About ATX Headshots

Whether you need a single Austin headshot session or a corporate team rollout for hundreds of employees, the standard is the same.

What makes a great headshot

What separates a professional headshot.

A professional Austin headshot is not a quick photo against a plain background. It is a deliberate result of lighting, direction, retouching, and craft. Six things every ATX Headshots session is built around.

01

Lighting calibrated for your face.

Studio lighting shaped for each client, not a single setup applied to everyone. Window light and office overheads cannot replicate this. Calibrated lighting is what makes you look like yourself on your best day.

02

Direction, every frame.

Coached posing, micro-expression, and body angle in real time. You never guess where to put your hands, what to do with your face, or how to stand. The difference between a snapshot and a coached portrait is direction.

03

Backgrounds that work everywhere.

Neutral white, gray, and dark gray backgrounds calibrated for LinkedIn, firm websites, MLS profiles, bar directories, board profiles, and press features. One headshot, used everywhere it needs to go.

04

Retouching that looks human.

Natural finish only. Blemish removal, glasses glare reduction, stray hair cleanup, clothing adjustments. Skin and texture stay real, never over-smoothed.

05

Wardrobe coaching for your industry.

Attorney, realtor, executive, and tech founder standards are different. We coach what reads on camera versus what reads in a mirror, and what fits the credibility your specific role needs to project.

06

Files that work in every format.

Square crops for LinkedIn, vertical for press features, horizontal for company websites. Web and print resolution delivered together. Color-managed and sized correctly, ready to upload the moment you receive them.

Corporate teams

On-location at your Austin office.

Corporate team headshots photographed at your office, conference room, or event venue. The full studio travels. Same lighting kit, same backdrops, same coached process. Team rosters look consistent across the entire roll.

Built for scale, not for compromise.

On-location does not mean stripped-down. The lighting kit that runs in the studio runs on-location. The backdrops that work in the studio work on-location. The coaching that produces studio results produces on-location results.

Organizations Ryan has photographed include Deloitte, Google, Meta, Visa, Dell, SAP, Mercer, PNC, Scotiabank, Edward Jones, Comerica, Manulife, and Jupiter Power.

When to refresh

Four signs your headshot is costing you.

Most professionals wait too long to refresh. By the time the photo looks dated, it has been working against you on every profile it appears on. Four moments when the photo is doing measurable damage.

01

You started a new role.

A new title, a new firm, or a promotion. Your image appears on the company directory, LinkedIn, press announcements, and internal materials within the first 90 days.

Recruiters, clients, and partners form their first impression of you in the new role from that one image. Get the headshot before the announcement, not after.

02

It's been three years or more.

Faces change more than people think. Hair, weight, glasses, facial hair, expression. Photography itself also changes. Lighting, retouching, and framing standards from 2020 read as dated in 2026.

Three years is the practical refresh cycle. If the headshot was taken before then, it is working against you across every platform it appears on.

03

You moved industries or repositioned.

The expression, wardrobe, and tone that signaled credibility at a tech startup will not signal the same at a law firm or wealth management practice. A photo that worked in one industry reads wrong in another.

New field, repositioned practice, or shift from corporate to independent. The headshot needs to be calibrated to the new audience, not the old one.

04

Your visible work has outpaced your headshot.

You speak at conferences. You get quoted in press features. You show up across LinkedIn and your firm's website. The headshot was taken on a phone five years ago, or cropped from a group photo.

Inconsistency between your visible work and your headshot is a credibility leak. When the photo does not match the work, prospects notice.

Studio + Service Areas

A dedicated headshot studio for Austin professionals. Built for one thing.

Most Austin photographers shoot weddings, families, real estate, and headshots between other work. ATX Headshots is a dedicated headshot studio. Every system, workflow, and lighting setup is built for one outcome: professional, current, credible headshots delivered on a predictable timeline.

A real headshot studio.

Dedicated headshot studio in the Austin metro. Calibrated, repeatable lighting. White, gray, and dark gray backgrounds. Private dressing area. The same workflow every session, the reason team rosters match whether they sit a week apart or a year apart.

For corporate teams who need consistency at scale, the full studio also travels. On-location corporate headshots in Austin use the same lighting setup, the same backdrops, and the same coached process.

How sessions are booked.

Individual sessions photograph at the Cedar Park studio by appointment, Saturdays included. Corporate teams of fifteen or more typically shoot on-location at the company's office, conference room, or event venue. Travel rates available for surrounding markets when the booking warrants it.

Frequently asked

Common questions, direct answers.

Everything you need to know before booking an Austin headshot session. If something isn't covered here, the full prep email arrives with your booking confirmation.

How much do professional headshots cost in Austin?

Individual headshot sessions are $295 for a 30-minute Studio Headshot session, $395 for a one-hour Professional session, and $595 for a two-hour Executive Portrait session. One retouched image included. Additional retouched images are $125 each, or $95 each at three or more.

Corporate team sessions are quoted individually by team size and location. There is no flat day rate; the per-person rate scales down as headcount grows.

View individual session pricing or request a corporate team quote.

How long does a headshot session take?

The Studio Headshot session runs 30 minutes and produces a clean, ready-to-use photo for working professionals who need a single up-to-date image. The Professional session runs one hour and allows for two to three outfit changes plus background variation. The Executive Portrait session runs two hours and is built for high-stakes use cases: firm websites, speaker bios, press features, board materials, and proxy filings.

Corporate team sessions are scheduled in five to ten minute slots per person. The studio handles all session logistics so your team is not sitting around waiting.

What should I wear for my headshot?

Solid colors photograph better than busy patterns. Navy, charcoal, white, cream, deep red, and forest green all read clean on camera. Avoid bright florals, very thin stripes, small checks, and anything with a logo across the chest. Fit matters more than brand. A well-fitted shirt or blazer in a basic color will outperform an expensive piece that is too loose or too tight.

For Studio Headshot sessions, two outfit options is enough. For Professional and Executive Portrait sessions, three to four works well. A blazer over a different shirt counts as two looks.

Do I need professional hair and makeup?

For most working professionals, no. Most clients handle hair and makeup themselves the way they would for an important meeting. Anyone wearing makeup daily for work generally photographs well in their normal routine.

For Executive Portrait sessions and corporate team bookings where the photos will be used at scale, the studio can recommend trusted Austin-based hair and makeup artists, or build on-site styling into a corporate quote.

How quickly will I receive my photos?

Images are reviewed on the screen during the session, so you choose your selects before you leave. Retouched, color-corrected, web and print-ready final files are delivered to your inbox within 48 hours for most sessions.

For corporate team sessions, a private gallery is delivered with all selects, and retouched images follow within 48 hours for most sessions, every session within 72, with same-day rush available.

Where is the studio located?

The studio is located in the Austin metro at 600 S. Bell Blvd, Suite 7. Approximately 20 minutes north of downtown Austin. Easy access from Leander, Round Rock, Georgetown, Pflugerville, and the broader Austin metro. Free parking on site.

For corporate team sessions of 15 or more, the full studio travels to your Austin office, conference room, or event venue.

How many outfits can I bring?

Studio Headshot session: two outfits. Professional session: three to four. Executive Portrait session: as many as you want within the two-hour window. A change of jacket or blazer counts as a different look, so the wardrobe does not need to be entirely different pieces. A private dressing area is available at the studio for outfit changes.

What's included in the session fee?

The session fee covers studio time, professional lighting, multiple background options, full coached direction throughout the session, and in-session image review so you choose your selects before you leave. One retouched image is included with every session, and additional retouched images are priced per image so you only pay for the photos you actually want to use.

For corporate team sessions, retouching is folded into the per-person rate quoted upfront so there are no surprises.
