Range & Versatility

One look isn't enough. We capture multiple expressions, wardrobe changes, and lighting setups so your portfolio shows your full range — from commercial warmth to theatrical intensity.

Expert Direction

As a certified Peter Hurley Headshot Crew Mentor, Suzanne knows how to bring out authentic, compelling expressions. You'll walk away with headshots that feel like you — just the most bookable version.

Fast Turnaround

Audition tomorrow? We deliver professionally retouched images fast. Files come optimized for casting platforms, agency submissions, and social media — ready to use everywhere.

Your Headshot Is Your First Audition

In a city with a growing film and commercial scene, Austin actors and models need headshots that cut through the noise. Casting directors spend seconds on each submission — your headshot has to stop them mid-scroll.

We photograph headshots that do exactly that. Whether you're building a comp card, updating your agency portfolio, or submitting for your first role, every session is designed to capture range, personality, and the kind of presence that gets callbacks.

From theatrical drama to commercial warmth, we tailor every session to the roles you're going after. Multiple looks, multiple setups, one session — and you walk out with a portfolio that works as hard as you do.

Everything You Need to Know

What makes acting headshots different from regular headshots?

Acting headshots need to show range and personality, not just look professional. Casting directors want to see who you are — your energy, your type, your versatility. We photograph multiple looks and expressions designed to match the roles you're pursuing.

How many looks should I bring?

We recommend 3-5 wardrobe changes. Think about the characters you want to play — a commercial look, a theatrical look, something edgier. We'll help you plan during your pre-session consult so every outfit is intentional.

Do you photograph comp cards and model portfolios?

Absolutely. We photograph both headshots and 3/4 to full-length portraits for comp cards and agency portfolios. Whether you need a clean commercial look or something more editorial, we've got you covered.

How quickly will I receive my photos?

Most clients receive their professionally retouched images within 24 hours. We know auditions don't wait, so we prioritize fast delivery without sacrificing quality.

What if I don't have acting experience yet?

No experience needed. Whether you're just starting out or you're SAG-AFTRA, we coach you through every expression and angle. You'll walk away with headshots that look like they belong on a casting site — because they do.

How much does an acting headshot session cost?

Our Express session starts at $375 and our Deluxe session at $425 — both include professionally retouched digital images. Visit our packages page for full details.
