# Studio Pod

> Studio Pod builds automated professional headshot studios: walk-in pods, installed pods for offices and buildings, and portable pods for events. Founded 2018 in Houston, Texas. 355,000+ professional headshots delivered to 41,000+ customers. 7,000+ clients rate it 5.0 across 4,120 reviews.

A headshot session is self-serve: walk in, follow the on-screen guide, and leave with professional, retouched headshots. A standard session is $50 per person ($60 with professional hand retouching) at any walk-in studio. Sessions take about five minutes and every pod captures 60+ headshots per hour.

Walk-in studios: five locations in Houston, Texas (flagship: Studio Pod at 4809 Blossom St) and one in Chicago, Illinois (Ravenswood, 4311 N Ravenswood Ave). Everywhere else, Studio Pod comes on location.
