REVERSING YOUR HEADSHOT NIGHTMARES
Headshots Chicago
WHAT’S YOUR HEADSHOT HORROR STORY?
PHOTOGRAPHER GAVE NO DIRECTION. TOLD TO SAY “CHEESE.” DIDN’T SEE THE PHOTOS UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. RUSHED THROUGH THE SESSION. GOT PHOTOS TAKEN AND NEVER USED THEM.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING
ACTOR HEADSHOTS
A high-quality acting headshot is your first impression in a highly competitive industry. Whether you’re submitting to casting directors, updating your portfolio, or building your online presence, your headshots need to be polished, expressive, and current. Great acting headshots go beyond looking good, they capture your range, personality, and professionalism in a single frame.
From dramatic roles to commercial work, casting professionals rely on your photos to decide if you’re right for the part. Investing in professional actress or actor photos helps you stand out and opens the door to more auditions, more callbacks, and more opportunities.
If you’re serious about your craft, your headshots should reflect that.
EXECUTIVE HEADSHOTS
Corporate headshots don’t have to be stiff and stuck up. You’re allowed to have a little fun and maybe even show a softer side of yourself.
Executive headshots are more than just a profile picture, they’re a key part of your professional brand. Whether used for company websites, LinkedIn, press releases, or speaking engagements, a strong business portrait communicates confidence, leadership, and credibility. I work with executives to create polished, approachable corporate headshots that align with your industry and brand. From business headshots for individuals to full sets of executive photos for leadership teams, I deliver clean, consistent results that elevate your presence.
Quality corporate photos show you’re serious about your image and the message you send to clients, colleagues, and decision-makers.
OFFICE HEADSHOTS
Group headshots and team photos aren’t just about appearances, they’re a strategic investment in your brand.
When every staff headshot shares a consistent background, lighting, and style, it sends a powerful message: your company values professionalism, cohesion, and its people. On-location headshots make the process easy for your team, while also ensuring every image reflects your unique company culture.
Whether you’re updating your website, LinkedIn profiles, or internal directories, unified staff headshots elevate your brand presence and build trust with clients and partners. Professional team photography shows you’re proud of your team and willing to invest in how they show up.

The shared professional photographer’s studio is located at Michigan Ave and Ida B Wells.
However, I also offer to bring the studio to you if that’s more convenient. -
Easy answer: Chicagoland.
I’ll travel from Evanston to Arlington Heights. Through Schaumburg to Wheaton. Naperville and all the way back to the loop.
Chicagoland also including: Lakeview, Lincoln Park, West Loop, South Loop, Old Town, Oak Brook, Rosemont, Elmhurst, Downers Grove, Bensenville, Skokie, Palatine, Hammond, Orland Park, Elgin.

The length of the session is really up to you. If you need to be in and out in 15 minutes, no problem. If you want to hang out, take our time, change outfits, that’s cool too. On average I’d say it’s about an hour for individuals.
For groups, we generally block 10 minutes per person. That can be adjusted which is why every group is customized.
-
Your favorite outfits! Whatever you feel most comfortable in.
Generally I’d avoid super bright colors, crazy patterns, etc. But sometimes those work too. So bring what you like, and we’ll see what we can do!
-
As many as you can comfortably carry, or just the one you’re wearing. Again, totally up to you here. I’d suggest bringing extra, rather have them and not need them versus the other way around.
