Headshot photography is a specialized type of portrait photography designed to showcase your face, personality, and professionalism. Headshots are commonly used for LinkedIn profiles, company websites, marketing materials, speaking engagements, auditions, social media profiles, and business branding.
Most headshots are photographed from the chest up and can be captured in a studio setting, outdoors, or in a professional work environment. Depending on your goals, your headshot can be clean and traditional, creative and colorful, or tailored to reflect your personal brand.
Examples of our work can be found in the portfolios below:
A professional headshot is often the first impression someone has of you. Before a client, employer, colleague, audience member, or potential customer ever meets you in person, they'll likely encounter your photo on LinkedIn, your company website, social media profile, marketing materials, email signature, or other online platforms.
A high-quality headshot helps you appear approachable, trustworthy, confident, and professional. It also helps others recognize and remember you when you meet in person.
Professional headshots are commonly used for LinkedIn profiles, company directories, business websites, speaking engagements, conference presentations, award recognitions, magazine articles, marketing materials, social media profiles, and personal branding.
Whether you're advancing your career, growing a business, or building your personal brand, a professional headshot is one of the most valuable marketing tools you can have.
Event photography is a specialized genre of photography that involves capturing images of various events and occasions. These events can range from public or private events like conferences, concerts, sports competitions, and corporate functions. The primary goal of event photography is to document and preserve the moments, emotions, and highlights of these occasions. Event photography requires a combination of technical skills, creativity, and the ability to work in dynamic and often unpredictable environments. The goal is to capture the essence of the event and create lasting memories for clients and participants.
Commercial photography refers to the practice of creating images for the purpose of promoting or selling products, services, or brands. It is a branch of photography that focuses on producing images that serve a commercial or business-related objective. We work with clients such as businesses, advertising agencies, marketing firms, and individual entrepreneurs to create compelling visual content that helps them achieve their marketing and promotional goals. It involves collaboration with clients, careful attention to lighting and composition, and the use of post-production techniques to produce images that effectively communicate the client's message and marketing goals.
Yes. We offer customized pricing for companies, organizations, conferences, and groups of all sizes.
Several factors influence the cost of a corporate headshot project, including the number of participants, session duration, retouching requirements, location, staffing needs, and intended image usage. Because every project is different, we provide custom quotes tailored to your specific goals.
Based on our experience, company headshots are often incorporated into conferences, award ceremonies, networking events, mixers, lunch-and-learns, annual meetings, and other corporate gatherings where employees are already assembled in one location.
Smaller groups can be photographed in our Houston studio, while larger groups are typically best served on-location at your office, conference venue, hotel, or event space. For high-volume projects, we can even set up multiple photography stations to maximize efficiency and minimize disruption to your team's schedule.

Located in The Silos at Sawyer Yards in the heart of the Art District, we are in a large and beautiful 6 building campus with ample and free parking. We chose the most central location we could find so we could be easily accessible from all parts of the city. In addition to our headshot studio, the surrounding area offers many great locations that are easily accessible for outdoor portraits and headshots including urban and city landscapes, Hermann Park, Main Street Square, historical buildings, murals and wall art, and so much more. Our centralized location is truly a limitless playground for portraits. Find us on Google Maps here.
Absolutely. We regularly provide photography services throughout Houston and the surrounding communities, including The Heights, Montrose, River Oaks, Upper Kirby, Memorial, Downtown Houston, Sugar Land, Pearland, Katy, Cinco Ranch, Richmond, Fulshear, Cypress, Spring, Conroe, The Woodlands, and many other areas.
We are available for sessions in homes, offices, hotels, conference centers, event venues, and outdoor locations.
Need us outside of Houston? No problem. We've completed projects throughout Texas, including Austin, San Antonio, Dallas-Fort Worth, College Station, Galveston, and beyond. We have also traveled out of state for commercial photography, corporate headshots, conferences, and special events including Tennessee and Arizona.
For projects outside the Greater Houston area, travel expenses may apply depending on the location and scope of the assignment. We always work to keep travel costs reasonable and will provide a clear estimate before your project is booked.
We use professional Sony mirrorless camera systems and a variety of specialized lenses to create high-quality images in virtually any environment.
For studio photography, we use professional lighting equipment including flashes, softboxes, reflectors, and diffusion tools to create flattering, consistent lighting and help our clients look their best.
For outdoor photography, we use reflectors, diffusers, and other light-shaping tools to manage harsh sunlight and create natural-looking portraits, even in challenging lighting conditions.
While professional equipment is important, the photographer behind the camera is what makes the biggest difference. Understanding lighting, posing, composition, and expression is what transforms a good photo into a great one.
1133 Studios started with a simple mission: helping people look their best through professional headshot photography. What began in a small spare bedroom has grown into a full-service photography company serving individuals, businesses, and organizations throughout Houston and beyond.
As our client base grew, so did our studio. Today, we are headquartered at Sawyer Yards in Houston, where we continue to provide professional headshots while also offering event photography, commercial photography, and corporate media services.
Our work now includes conferences, company headshots, marketing campaigns, office lifestyle photography, industrial photography, real estate photography, and content creation for websites, social media, brochures, and other marketing materials.
While we've expanded our services over the years, our focus remains the same: creating high-quality images and providing an exceptional client experience from start to finish.
