Why It Matters
Great Photography builds trust before you’re even in the room.
In today’s digital-first world, your headshot is often your first handshake. Whether someone finds you on LinkedIn, your company website, or a Google Business Profile, the photo they see shapes their first impression — before you ever say a word.
An outdated or low-quality photo signals the opposite of what you want. It signals that you’re not paying attention to detail. A crisp, current portrait builds trust, authority, and connection before you even meet.
As a small business owner myself, I update my headshot every few years. When clients meet me in person, they’re meeting the same person they saw online. That alignment builds confidence — and confidence drives decisions.

FAQ
Common questions, answered.
Still have questions? Reach out directly — I’m happy to chat through the details before you book.
How much does a corporate headshot cost in Chicago?

What should I wear for a corporate photography session?
Solid colors and classic cuts photograph best. Avoid busy patterns, logos, or anything too casual. Bring 2–3 outfit options so we can find the most flattering look. Premium packages include professional wardrobe styling. I’ll also send a full prep guide before our session.

I specialize in on-location photography — I come to you. I can shoot in your office environment, bring a seamless background and professional lighting for studio-style headshots, or scout a Chicago location that fits your brand. Studio sessions can be arranged upon request.

Individual headshot clients receive a full gallery of processed proofs within 72 hours. Team sessions are delivered within 5–7 business days. Retouched final images follow shortly after your selections.
Can we book ongoing headshots as we hire new team members?
Absolutely — many of my corporate clients schedule new hire photography quarterly. I keep notes on your lighting setup and style so new portraits match your existing team perfectly.
Do you photograph outside of Chicago proper?
Yes! I regularly photograph clients in Evanston, Oak Park, Naperville, Wilmette, Schaumburg, and throughout the greater Chicago metro. Travel is available further afield — inquire for details.
