Acting Headshots That Get you in the Room
Casting directors look at your headshot for about two seconds. It has to look like you, on your best day, or you get skipped. We shoot headshots that match how you actually show up to the audition, framed the way casting sites want them. Sessions are $150, take about 30 minutes at our Rice Village studio, and you leave with same-day delivery, so a Monday self-submission deadline is not a problem.
Houston casting directors look for authenticity and versatility above all else. We shoot tailored sessions covering both theatrical (dramatic, character-driven) and commercial (warm, bright, approachable) looks. All frames are shot with standard 8×10 portrait proportions in mind, giving you clean, industry-ready headshots and multiple outfit changes per session to submit for diverse casting calls.

Shot for Screens, Not Walls
Your headshot gets judged as a thumbnail in a casting grid before anyone clicks it. We light and frame so your face reads instantly at small sizes.
-
Retouching That Won't Get You in Trouble
Casting expects you to look like your photo. We clean up stray hairs and temporary blemishes and leave your actual face alone no smoothing that makes the room do a double-take.

A Studio That Works Around Rehearsals
We shoot Monday–Friday 10–6 and Saturday 10–3 at 2414 Sunset Blvd in Rice Village easy to reach from Downtown between classes, rehearsals, and day jobs.

FAQs
Common Questions
What should I wear to an acting headshot session?
Solid color, nothing with logos or busy patterns. Bring 2 or 3 options. For commercial looks, think warm and approachable. For theatrical, something simpler and more serious.
What's the difference between commercial and theatrical headshots?
Commercial is the friendly, smiling version casting wants for ads and comedy. Theatrical is the more natural, dramatic version for film and TV drama. Most actors need both, and we shoot both in one session.
How much do acting headshots cost?
$150 for a 30-minute session covering both commercial and theatrical looks, with retouched, casting-
ready files delivered the same day.
Do you crop for casting websites?
Yes. We deliver your photos in the crops and formats Actors Access, Casting Networks, and agency submissions expect, so you can upload without fighting an image editor.
How often should I update my headshot?
Whenever your look changes enough that you don’t match your photo. New hair, glasses, facial hair, or a couple of years passing.
