WHERE WE WORK

Corporate Headshots Across Chicago’s Business Districts

We work with companies across Chicago and the surrounding metro area. Whether your team is based in the Loop, River North, Fulton Market, or the suburbs, we come to you. There is no minimum, no travel surcharge within the city, and no need to coordinate transportation for your team.

The neighborhoods we most frequently service: the Loop, River North, West Loop and Fulton Market, Streeterville, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, Bucktown, Lakeview, the South Loop, and Evanston. If your office is outside Chicago entirely, we travel nationwide with a flat travel fee included in your custom quote.

For companies with multiple Chicago locations, we can schedule back-to-back sessions on the same day or across consecutive days to keep the visual style consistent across every office.

MULTI-LOCATION TEAMS

Keeping Your Team’s Visual Identity Consistent

The most common problem we solve for growing companies is not the quality of individual headshots. It is the inconsistency between them. When your Chicago team was photographed three years ago, your Austin office last year, and your New York team last month, the result is a website that looks like three different companies. Different backgrounds, different lighting, different editing styles, different energy.

We solve this by functioning as your company's dedicated headshot photographer. One photographer, one lighting setup, one editing style, applied consistently across every location and every new hire. When someone joins your team in any city, they can be photographed with the same visual standard as everyone else. This matters most for companies that are actively hiring, recently merged, or managing a rebrand.

For companies with ongoing hiring, we offer retainer arrangements that include regular sessions at a fixed rate. Rather than scrambling to schedule a new session every time someone joins, you have a standing arrangement that keeps your team page current without the logistical overhead. This is particularly useful for fast-growing teams where the headshot roster changes frequently.

Brand consistency in headshots is not a cosmetic concern. Research on first impressions consistently shows that visual coherence signals organizational credibility. A team page where every photo looks like it belongs to the same company communicates stability, professionalism, and attention to detail before a single word is read.

LARGE TEAMS

Common Questions About Corporate Headshot Days

For teams of 50 or more, we build a custom schedule in advance with your HR or office manager. Each employee receives a time slot, which eliminates waiting and keeps the workday moving. We photograph 8 to 12 people per hour under normal conditions. For high-volume days, we can bring a second photographer to run parallel sessions and double throughput.

Here is how a typical large-team headshot day works. We arrive 30 to 45 minutes before the first slot to set up the studio in a conference room or open office space. Each employee spends 5 to 10 minutes in front of the camera. We use the Misdirection Method to get a genuine expression quickly, so nobody is stuck waiting for someone to relax. At the end of the day, we pack up and leave the space exactly as we found it. Your team receives their retouched images within 5 business days.

For teams over 100, we provide a custom delivery timeline upfront so your team knows exactly when to expect their images.

Need Office Photos As Well?

When your team is already together and the studio is set up, adding office and culture photography is a natural extension of the day.

We can document team interactions, workspace environments, and candid moments that work across your website, LinkedIn company page, and internal communications.
