Convention headshot booths in Austin. Built for high-volume event days. Convention headshot booths in Austin.

A headshot booth is a professional portrait station inside your event space that delivers studio-quality headshots to attendees during the event. Some event teams call it a headshot lounge or headshot station, but the format is the same: a dedicated booth area where attendees receive a polished, usable professional image during the event itself.

The headshots attendees receive are the kind they actually use on LinkedIn, company directories, and speaker bios, not novelty photo-booth images. That is why participation rates are higher than almost any other event activation.

A single booth handles 20 to 30 attendees per hour. A half-day booth runs 4 hours on-site and delivers 80 to 120 headshots. A full-day booth runs 8 hours and delivers 160 to 240 headshots.

If your event needs higher throughput than a single station can deliver, we add additional photographers and additional stations with matched lighting and backdrops so every image looks like it belongs to the same set.

Half-day booth activations are $3,200. Full-day booth activations are $4,795. Multi-day and multi-station activations are quoted based on event scope, attendee volume, and branding integration requirements.

Pricing includes setup, photographer, lighting, backdrop, branded gallery, and one light-retouched headshot per attendee, delivered on site. No per-attendee hidden fees and no surprise add-ons at invoice time. To book, request a booth quote with your event date, venue, and expected attendee count. Most quotes come back the same business day.

Yes. We are based in Cedar Park, 20 minutes north of downtown Austin, which means no travel costs and no out-of-state vendor logistics during a week when every other Austin photographer is booked solid.

SXSW vendor calendars fill early. If you are scoping a 2027 SXSW activation, reach out now to lock dates and start the planning conversation. We handle multi-day SXSW activations across the Austin Convention Center, JW Marriott, Fairmont, and the major downtown activation venues.

Branding integrates at 4 touchpoints: the backdrop itself (step-and-repeat or custom printed), an optional logo overlay applied to every captured image, the branded delivery email each attendee receives, and the online gallery hosting the images.

Every photo leaving the booth carries your branding, both visibly in the background and through the delivery experience. Attendees are sharing branded headshots on LinkedIn before they walk away from the booth.

Every attendee provides their contact information to receive their image. That gives you verified email addresses tied to real people who engaged with your booth, not scanned badges with throwaway info.

Custom fields are available for industry, company size, role, or any qualifier you need. Lead data exports cleanly to Zapier, HubSpot, or any standard CRM the day of the event.

A single booth station fits a standard 10x10 trade show booth and needs 1 standard electrical outlet. It also works in a 10x20 booth, a sponsor activation pad, or any standard exhibit hall space.

What matters most is having room for a short waiting area so the line feels intentional rather than chaotic. We will confirm exact venue requirements during the pre-event planning call.

Yes. We work conventions and trade shows across Texas and nationwide. Travel costs are quoted separately based on event location, length, and equipment requirements.

For Austin and the surrounding metro, there are no travel costs. That is a meaningful price advantage compared to out-of-state booth specialists who fly in for SXSW and major Austin Convention Center events.

Every attendee receives a light-retouched headshot on their phone before they leave the booth. Delivery options include QR code at the booth, branded email, or text message.

On-site delivery is what turns a headshot booth into a marketing return rather than a marketing line item. Attendees post their headshots on LinkedIn during the event itself, not a week later when the conversation has moved on.

Yes. Every attendee receives one light-retouched headshot, included in the booth price: blemishes, glasses glare, and lint cleaned up, finished naturally. That alone produces a professional, usable headshot for every attendee.

Full Retouch upgrades every selected image to a full finish, adding stray hair cleanup, teeth whitening, and natural wrinkle reduction, returned after the event. It is $1,000 a day for every attendee, or $30 an image, billed to the event host. We will scope retouching options with you during the planning call so the final cost is clear before the event.
