Professional Corporate Photography Services
Whether you’re a business professional or a Chicago company with a growing team, having dynamic corporate photography is essential to your brand.
As a small business owner, I update my own headshot every few years because I want to stay current. If I were to wait much longer, my image might become outdated and stale. And no one wants to be stale.
Having a fresh business portrait means my clients are meeting the same person they see when visiting my website or social media profiles. And on some level, even unconsciously, it builds trust before we actually meet each other.
Stand Out Among the Chicago Business Crowd
On top of that, in the digital age, we’re all being vetted on Google whether we like it or not. A question to consider is, do you want an iPhone snapshot to be the photo people see when they research you or a service you provide?
Having your own professional corporate photos can increase your chance of making a great impression before you even meet someone. In that way, it’s an investment that can make all the difference.
Who should get professional corporate photos?
Anyone looking to make a lasting impression and grow their business: From the lawyer who’s gone off on her own to start up a new practice, to the growing company wanting to highlight their expanding team, I give the same quality customized attention to everyone.
To begin, we’ll have a one-on-one consultation to come up with a personalized game plan. I’ll ask you questions to help determine your vibe and create the right setup and scope of work completely tailored to you or your business.
Take your pick from individual portraits to customized corporate photography packages.
Maybe you just need one new profile picture for LinkedIn. I’ve got you covered. Corporate photography costs for individual headshots start at $300 for 30-minutes. You’ll receive a gallery of images to choose from within 72-hours of your portrait session. And if you need help deciding, I’m always happy to offer my two cents.
Other individual packages include additional services like on-site professional hair and makeup as well as wardrobe styling. You also have the option of booking a longer session with multiple backgrounds and outfit changes. This is great if you need a variety of portrait options for your website or social media content.
If you’re a growing enterprise, professional photos showing who you are will reinforce your brand. Strong imagery helps your clients feel excited and confident about working with you. I offer full-coverage corporate packages just for these types of imagery needs. Depending on your business size, you can choose from half-day, full-day, to multi-day options for your photography.
I’ll take photos of every team member all at once with professional lighting and posing to ensure a consistent overall effect. Then, you’ll have the option of photographing new staff quarterly or on a schedule that works best for you.
Extra Corporate Photography Options: In addition to general corporate photography packages, I offer extra photo options to really create a full visual picture of who you are as a company. This includes:
Office Space Photos. Your work environment is another reflection of your overall brand. Show off your place of business with interior and exterior office photography.
Working Pictures. For many companies, how you create your product or arrive at your results is a huge part of your business. Showcase yourself and your team in action. People want to see you creating that ceramic bowl or setting up for a corporate event. Pull back the velvet curtain, let them in, and further strengthen your following with work images for your website, brochures, banners, artwork, and more.
Sample Portfolio Photos. Ever watch an HD show in standard definition? Ack! It really affects the viewing experience. The same is true when snapping photos of your end results with an iPhone. It just doesn’t do your work justice. Your professional work deserves professional portfolio images.
Professional corporate photography pricing.
Remember, this is an investment. Pricing ranges from $300-$999 for individual headshots. Corporate company photography can choose to book hourly or half-days. A full day rate begins at $3,600.
