Headshots Chicago

Sure, anyone can take a headshot. That doesn’t mean you should count on your friend or a selfie.

There are two skill sets a photographer needs to create great headshots: Technical skills and soft skills.

The technical side includes fundamentals like exposure, focus and lighting.

But the soft skills make or break the shoot.

You can be your best only if the photographer engages, listens, knows what you want, and helps you have fun. If you’re not relaxed your expressions will show it.

If you’re not happy with past portraits, it’s likely because you were posed and told to smile. Our style is conversational and collaborative, where you are coached into great, anxiety-free images.

The Session — When we meet, tell me about your needs and expectations. What are your headshots for? Relax! There is no time limit, but generally, we’ll need about an hour. We’ll do different looks — clothing and lighting changes. As I shoot the pictures I’ll show you the results real-time to ensure we’re getting what you want. Of course, if you’d like to talk before the session, just reach out.

Select Your Favorites — within 2-days your images will be available in an online gallery. These images will have basic adjustments, but they will not be retouched at that time. You will make your selections from this gallery. We will deliver your finished images digitally in low and hi-res files (for web and print).. If you have specific requirements, let us know.
