Why ATX
Built for professionals who need it done right.
Most headshots fail because the photographer doesn't coach the subject. ATX Headshots sessions are coached start to finish by a photographer with 21 years behind the camera and 11 years specializing in headshots.
About ATX Headshots
Austin's headshot specialists.
ATX Headshots is owned and operated by Ryan Dunbar and Michael Wilkes. Studio and on-location professional headshots in Austin, photographed by a headshot specialist. No associates. No apprentices.
Headshots are the entire focus. Not a side service. Every system, workflow, and coaching method is built for one outcome: a professional, current, credible image you can put your name on.
That focus is the reason executives at Mercer, SAP, Manulife, Comerica, and Jupiter Power have chosen ATX Headshots for their team rosters, and the reason individual professionals across Austin keep coming back when they need a fresh image for LinkedIn, firm websites, or board profiles.
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
Six things that separate the pros.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Retouching that looks human.
Natural finish only. Blemish removal, glasses glare reduction, stray hair cleanup, clothing adjustments. No plastic skin, no over-smoothing, no AI filter look. The best version of you, not a different person.
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.
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.
How it works
From booking to final files.
A clear, predictable process built around your time. No back-and-forth, no surprises. Most individual sessions run 20 minutes to two hours, with retouched files delivered in two to three business days. 100% Money-Back Guarantee on every individual session.
Book Online
Choose your session length and book online. Individual sessions are available six days a week. Corporate team quotes turn around in under 24 hours. No deposit required for individual headshots.
Prep Email
A short prep email covers what to wear, what to bring, and how to arrive ready. Solid colors, well-fitted, no busy patterns. The rest is coached in person at the session.
The Session
Coached posing, expression direction, and lighting refined for your face. Review your images on the screen during the session and choose your selects before you leave. No guessing, no waiting for proofs.
Retouched Delivery
Retouched, color-corrected, web and print-ready files delivered to your inbox in two to three business days. Natural retouching only. Blemish removal, glasses glare reduction, clothing adjustments.
The standard
One photographer. One standard.
Every individual session at ATX Headshots is photographed by Ryan Dunbar. Not an associate. Not an apprentice. Twenty-one years behind the camera and eleven years specializing in headshots, applied to every face that walks into the studio.
Coached. Lit. Reviewed in the session.
Every session starts with posing and expression direction. Lighting calibrated to your face, not a single setup applied to everyone. You review your images on the screen during the session and choose your selects before you leave.
No proofs to chase. No surprises in the inbox. No "we'll fix it in retouching."
Two to three business days to retouched files.
Retouched, color-corrected, web and print-ready files delivered to your inbox in two to three business days. Natural retouching only. Blemish removal, glasses glare reduction, stray hair cleanup, clothing adjustments. No AI plastic, no over-smoothing.
Final files sized for LinkedIn, firm websites, bar directory profiles, board materials, and press features. Files arrive ready to upload.
If the photos don't work, you don't pay.
100% Money-Back Guarantee on every individual session. The guarantee covers the work, not preferences after the fact. If the standard isn't there, the session is refunded in full.
Clients include Mercer, Manulife, SAP, Comerica, and Jupiter Power. The standard is the same whether the booking is one executive or a roster of four hundred.
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.
Trusted by Mercer, Manulife, SAP, Comerica, and Jupiter Power for team rosters and executive portraits.
What's included.
- Full studio lighting kit — calibrated strobes, modifiers, and reflectors that match studio output
- Multiple backdrop options — white, gray, and dark gray to match brand standards
- Tethered review — every team member reviews on screen during their slot and approves before walking away
- Setup in 45 minutes — team starts on schedule, every time
- 30 to 40 headshots per half-day — efficient throughput, no rushed sessions
- Individual private galleries — every team member receives their own delivery
- Optional on-site hair and makeup — for executive sessions and high-stakes full-team rollouts
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

View individual session pricing or request a corporate team quote.
How long does a headshot session take?
The LinkedIn Headshot session runs 20 minutes and produces a clean, LinkedIn-ready 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 LinkedIn 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 in two to three business days.
For corporate team sessions, a private gallery is delivered with all selects, and retouched images follow on the timeline agreed in your quote, typically one to two weeks depending on team size.
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?
LinkedIn 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. Retouched final images are priced separately 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.
What is the Money-Back Guarantee?
100% Money-Back Guarantee on every individual session. If the photos do not work, you do not pay. Full refund.
The guarantee covers the work, not preferences after the fact. The standard is professional, current, credible images delivered on a predictable timeline. If that standard is not met, the session is refunded in full.
