Austin Headshot Photographer Guide:
Choosing the Right Package for Your Team
I was recently tasked with finding the best way to update our team’s headshots. It wasn’t just about convenience — we needed consistent, high-quality images that made everyone look professional and polished. I explored several options, from studio sessions to event-style setups. After learning the differences, I found the perfect solution and want to share what I learned to help others in the same position.
I Started With the Signature Session
At first, I looked into Anthony Johnson Photography’s Signature Headshot Session. This option is great for individuals. It’s a 45-minute, one-on-one studio session with Anthony Johnson, one of the best headshot photographers in Austin. The session includes posing guidance, outfit changes, and a clean studio background.
- Starts at $375
- Includes one retouched image
- Ideal for executives updating LinkedIn, press kits, or personal branding
While ideal for individuals who want more time and flexibility, their team sessions take a different approach — still streamlined and professional, but without wardrobe changes or extended feedback loops.
The Office Headshot Package Made More Sense
Next, I explored Anthony Johnson Photography’s Office Headshot Package — and it checked all the boxes for us.
Anthony brings his setup to your office. He uses a conference room or designated space to photograph your team on-site. He will also come visit your office space ahead of time to make sure everything runs smoothly, which is pretty awesome!
What you get:
• Setup and production fee: $295 for up to 3 hours
• Extra time: $100 per hour. A team of 15 can easily fit within a 2 hour window.
• 5 to 15 minutes per person (a more efficient process than most competitors)
• Real-time feedback and personalized posing
• Tier 1 (Standard) Retouched images: $150 each, optimized for web and social media
• Or upgrade to Tier 2 (Executive) for an additional $100 designed for printing
Each person gets individual attention, and the results are polished and consistent. Most of our team only needed one image, and we didn’t feel pressured to purchase more.
Office vs Express Headshots
I also looked into Anthony Johnson Photography’s Express Headshot service. It’s perfect for large-scale events like conferences or trade shows. He still brings his high friendly energy and attendees love him for that. I found that out from his 100+ google reviews – pretty impressive actually.
Key differences:
- Designed for speed and volume, not one-on-one customization
- Uses a step-and-repeat format — no photo review on the spot
- 24 hour delivery — no retouching but can be ordered later
- Starts at $1995 for 4 hours
- Includes 1 download per person
Unlock unlimited downloads for an additional $1995 or 2 additional downloads per person for $995
This setup works well for:
- Networking Events
- Open Houses
- Brand Sponsored Event
Offering “free headshots” can be a great marketing tool, but it wasn’t the right fit for our team. We wanted everyone to have a photo they liked — and that meant taking our time and having the option to review the images in real time.
Why We Chose Office Headshots
We needed our team to look confident and cohesive. The Office Headshot service offered everything we wanted:
• Anthony arrived early to set up
• Each team member saw their photos on the spot
• Adjustments were made instantly based on feedback
• Final selections were retouched and delivered fast
Yes, the investiment was a little more than the event-style option, but it gave us better results and a smooth, professional experience in our office and our team loved working with Anthony.
Final Thoughts
If your company needs updated headshots, I strongly recommend Anthony Johnson Photography’s Office Headshot service. You’ll get top-tier images without leaving your office. What really sets Anthony apart is his signature lighting style and technical expertise — but just as important is his down-to-earth personality and ability to connect with people. His friendly approach helps everyone feel at ease, which is the real secret to capturing confident, genuine smiles.
Highly recommend.
