Let me tell you a little industry secret about headshot photography. If you've read this far down the page, chances are you're seriously interested in getting an amazing headshot. Take a moment and pat yourself on the back for making the right decision. Maybe you're looking to rebrand, maybe you're just looking to upgrade  a little bit. Stop looking and stop agonizing over this decision. Fill out the contact form and let me help you. You will not find another photographer that cares more about your success than I do. You also wont find a more capable photographer than myself.  My success in this industry has allowed me to photograph more people than any other photographer in the greater Chicagoland area. I've helped more people start new careers, get promotions, land roles, and position themselves as experts in their given industries than my next three competitors combined. That's not even really a fair statement because I don't believe I have a single competitor in this space. There are some very capable photographers in Chicago and they might be able to help you. But the fact is that a large number of my clients come from the so called competition.  I get calls every week from people who were photographed by XYZ photographer and despite having spent a lot of money, they failed to live up to their expectations.  Don't settle for anything less than what you deserve. 

I'm a no bullshit kind of guy. I take headshots very seriously. If you this headshot isn't something that you think is important, than hire someone else, or better yet, have a friend do it. I choose to only work with those who want to win. I'm not going to let you wear the wrong tie, wrong dress, wrong shirt, or let you select the wrong image. This is what I do day in and day out and I've been doing it for the last 10 years.  I'm not going to let you look older than you are, heavier than you are, or less intelligent than you are. It's my job to make sure you look like a million bucks. I mean it when I say that I am the only person in town that can make this happen for you. There isn't a photographer on page one of google whose work I haven't had to fix. I am in the business of making clients happy and that's exactly what I do. 

PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS

So what's holding you back?. Is it our prices? You are absolutely correct. If you want to work with the best, it's going to be expensive, but these headshots pay for themselves. A better headshot always leads to better opportunities. My experience is that you're going to pay for it either way. You're going to pay for it when you choose the wrong photographer and need to have it redone somewhere else. You're going to pay for it when instead of getting the job you wanted that pays well, you settle for a job with less opportunity and pays less. You're going to pay for it when you're trying to connect with a new client on LinkedIn and your LinkedIn profile picture makes you look eager and inexperienced.  While what I do may not be rocket science, there's a skill to it that really can't be taught. I have the unique  ability to look at you, decide which side of your face is your better side, decipher which angle is going to be the most flattering, what type of light is going to work best with your skin and bone structure, and I have the taste to help you select the image that's going to represent your personal brand. And I do it all with the bedside manner required for such a sensitive experience. Honesty, I've tried to teach this to people. It just doesn't work. This is why I don't have assistants or associate photographers. I have a gift and I want to share it with you. 

To recap, it's time to get with the program. You owe it to yourself to work with the best. If you're willing to settle for average, save yourself the $300 and just have a friend do it.  I'm a headshot photographer, I don't shoot weddings, or families. I am the expert in my field and I believe that what I do changes peoples lives. Do you want to make more money? Do you want to feel better about yourself? Are you ready to be taken seriously in your industry? Drop me a line today.
