Professional Headshots That Create Powerful First Impressions
Most people hate getting their photo taken. We get it, so we keep it simple: you come to our Rice Village studio, we talk for a minute about how you’ll use the photos, we shoot for 30 minutes with real posing direction, and you leave with finished, retouched images the same day. No awkward poses you’d never do in real life. No waiting two weeks for a gallery. Since 2012 we’ve provided corporate photography for executives, physicians, attorneys, real estate agents, actors, and entire teams across Houston.
Why Choose Pixel Studio Productions for Headshots
Studio or On-Location
Book a session in our Houston studio, or have our team come to your office for a full team headshot day.
Coaching While We Shoot
You don't need to know how to pose. During the session we guide your posture, angle and expression shot by shot and show you the images on screen as we go, so you leave knowing you have a headshot you like.
Business Headshots for Houston Professionals
Most of the headshots we shoot are for people who need one photo that works everywhere: the company website, LinkedIn, a conference bio, an email signature, a proposal. A business headshot doesn’t need to be dramatic. It needs to look like you on a good day, in lighting that flatters, with a background that doesn’t compete with your face.
That is what a 30-minute session in our Rice Village studio is built for. We talk through where the photo will live, choose a background (clean white, soft gray, or a blurred studio scene), and shoot several looks so you have options for different uses. You’ll see favorites on screen before you leave and receive retouched files the same day, sized for LinkedIn and for print.
If you’re changing jobs, our LinkedIn headshots page covers what recruiters respond to. Either way the price starts at $150 and you can book online or call (832) 767-1543.
Law Firm and Attorney Headshots
Attorney headshots have their own rules. Clients decide whether they trust you from a bio photo before they ever call, and firm websites need partners and associates to look consistent across years of hires. We photograph attorneys for firm bios, State Bar directories, Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers profiles, press announcements and LinkedIn.
The look is confident and approachable: even lighting, a neutral or subtly toned background, and posing that reads as authority without stiffness. We keep a record of each firm’s setup so a lateral hire photographed next year matches the partner photographed today. Sessions are available in the studio or at your office Downtown, in the Galleria, or wherever the firm sits.
Ask about firm-wide rates for five or more attorneys. See corporate headshots for the full team process, or call (832) 767-1543 to schedule.
Corporate Headshots Near the Texas Medical Center and West University
Our studio sits between Rice University and the Medical Center, which is why so many of our corporate headshot clients come from the hospitals, research institutions, law firms and financial offices within a ten-minute drive. Physicians squeeze a session in between clinics; residency applicants come for ERAS headshots; practice managers send new hires so the directory page matches.
Corporate headshots for teams can be shot here or at your office. In the studio, each person books a slot and rotates through in 15 minutes. On-site, we bring the lights and backdrop to a conference room and photograph 20 to 40 people in a morning without pulling anyone off the floor for more than a few minutes. Every file is retouched to the same standard so a team page shot over several months still looks like one session.
We serve companies across Greater Houston, including Downtown, the Galleria and Uptown, Greenway Plaza, the Energy Corridor, Westchase, Sugar Land and The Woodlands. Full details, pricing tiers and a headcount quote form are on the corporate headshots page.
Medical and Physician Headshots
Hospital directories, practice websites, conference programs and credentialing profiles all need a current photo, and medical professionals rarely have time to sit for one. We keep sessions short and predictable: 30 minutes in the studio, retouched files the same day, white coat or business attire, your choice of a clinical white background or a warmer tone for a private practice.
Medical students and graduates applying through ERAS have specific photo requirements, and we shoot to that spec on our ERAS and residency headshots page. For departments and group practices, we run on-site headshot days at the Medical Center and at hospitals across Houston so an entire team can be photographed in one morning.
What to Expect From Your Headshot Session
BOOK YOUR SESSION
Call (832) 767-1543 or book online. Same-day slots are usually available Monday through Saturday, so if you need a headshot this afternoon, ask, we can often fit you in. Tell us what the photo is for when you book, because a LinkedIn profile, an ERAS application and an acting submission each want something slightly different.
THE PRE-SHOOT CONSULTATION
Before we pick up a camera we spend a couple of minutes on how you'll use the photo, what you brought to wear, and what you want it to say about you. If you brought two options we'll help you choose. This is also where you tell us what you don't like about photos of yourself, which is more useful than it sounds, it tells us what to watch for.
THE SHOOT
Thirty minutes, with real posing direction the whole way. You won't be left standing there wondering what to do with your hands. We shoot tethered so the images come up on a screen as we go, which means you can see what's working instead of hoping. Most people relax about five minutes in, and those are the frames we usually end up using.
You pick your favorites during the session, on the screen, with us. We retouch while you wait and you leave with the finished, high-resolution files, not previews, not a gallery link in two weeks. Sized and ready for LinkedIn, your company directory, or MyERAS.

FAQs
Common Questions
How long does a session take?
30 minutes! Most people are in and out on a lunch break.
Do I really get my photos the same day?
Yes! You pick your favorites during the session, we edit it while you wait, and you leave with the finished product.
What should I wear?
Solid colors, no busy patterns. Bring a second option and we can help you decide. Our bigger package also offers wardrobe changes if you can’t pick just one!
What should I avoid wearing for a headshot?
Busy patterns, tight stripes and small checks they buzz on camera. Logos and slogans, unless it’s your own company. Pure white and pure black, which lose all their detail. Anything shiny or heavily wrinkled. Bright neon, which reflects onto your skin and turns it green. If you’re unsure, bring two options and we’ll tell you which one photographs better.
Should I smile in my headshot?
Usually yes, but it depends what the photo is for. Corporate and LinkedIn headshots do better with a warm, natural smile people hire people who look approachable. ERAS and medical residency photos are more conservative, so a closed-mouth smile is the convention. Actors often want a range, from neutral to open. We shoot several expressions either way, so you’re not locked into a decision made in the first minute.
Are you a headshot photographer or a general photographer?
Both, which works in your favor. Headshots are the largest part of what we shoot each week, so the lighting, posing and retouching are practiced. But because we also photograph events, products and video for Houston companies, we can match your headshots to the rest of your brand’s imagery.
How much do headshots cost in Houston?
Individual sessions at our studio are $150 for about 30 minutes with same-day delivery. Team headshots are quoted by headcount and the per-person rate drops at five or more. Our headshot pricing page lists every option.
How do I prep for a headshot?
Get a decent night’s sleep, drink water, and don’t get a haircut the day before give it a few days to settle. Bring your top on a hanger rather than wearing it in the car. If you wear makeup, go slightly heavier than normal, because cameras flatten it. Bring a second outfit. That’s genuinely the whole list.
Do you do ERAS and medical residency headshots?
Yes it’s one of our specialties. We’re minutes from the
Texas Medical Center, we know the ERAS photo requirements, and most residents leave with their compliant,
retouched headshot the same day
Do you do headshots for realtors and real estate teams?
Yes. Individual realtor headshots are shot in the studio or at your brokerage; for a full brokerage, see our corporate team headshots page.
Do I need an appointment?
Booking ahead guarantees your slot, but don’t hesitate to call ahead. We are open Monday-Saturday.
Where do I park at your Rice Village studio?
We’re at 2414 Sunset Blvd, and parking is free in our own lot. In Rice Village that is not a given, so it’s worth knowing before you plan your morning.
What's included, and what it costs
Sessions start at $150. That covers a 30-minute session at our Rice Village studio, posing direction throughout, and 1 retouched image delivered the same day as a high-resolution file. Extended 60-minute sessions include multiple outfit changes, background options, and 3 fully retouched final images. We bring the studio to your office, set up in a spare conference room, and photograph everyone in a single day with consistent lighting, background and retouching across the whole team, so your directory does not look like it was assembled from twelve different sources. We have photographed executives, physicians, attorneys, real estate agents, actors across Houston since 2012. The studio is minutes from the Texas Medical Center and Downtown, which is why medical residents make up a large share of what we shoot between June and September.
