Headshot Studios in Chicago

Professional and courteous. It was a sincere pleasure to be a client at Studio Redleaf. Nick allowed to arrive early and walked me through all the poses and explained the process. The directions to the location and instructions on what to expect were clear and I had no problem navigating to the location and parking in the free indoor garage. I highly recommend this company for any professional headshots. Wonderful experience, friendly and highly professional. 10/10!

Nick was awesome!!I went for my ERAs headshots and everything came out great. He was very responsive when I had questions and he really makes you feel comfortable while taking pictures. I received my pictures in 10 minutes which was great. I would highly recommend Nick's studio to anyone!!

Efficient, supportive and very precise. Nick puts you at ease instantly. A bit tricky to locate intuitively. His instructions are clear step by step, and the Google map link he provides is exact, so read the directions before you head out! Link to photo file was in by inbox before I got home. Great work!

Great customer experience today! Photographer was very professional and helpful. He guided me all the way through, and eased my nervousness. The space was clean and easily accessible. I appreciate the opportunity to purchase the services through Groupon. Looking forward to setting up more sessions.

Nick was great. He was incredibly efficient. Even with me running a few minutes late, we were done on time AND had a great session that yielded a lot of high quality photos. I also am incredibly critical of my own image, but wasn't hard pressed to find a photo I was happy to use. I will be referring folks to them, as well as using them, again.

I needed a new corporate headshot and found Mike online...he was responsive and it was easy to set up an appointment. Most importantly, I LOVE my new headshots! The shoot was very fun and relaxed. His pictures were dynamic - not overly staged - which meant I could be myself and he captured the best of all of my expressions. I will definitely work with Mike again and just wish I had found him sooner!

Mike is amazing! I am not one how likes to have her picture taken, it is very awkward for me. Mike made this head shot photo shoot very relaxing and easy. And he is an amazing photographer! He helped me understand the way the lighting and posing work together for great photos. As one who hates pictures of herself, he did AMAZING! Thank you, Mike!

Mike is a fantastic photographer and really great at knowing how to put his clients at ease. He can identify the best way to portray a subject and adjust the shoot accordingly. The studio is also a really fun and relaxed space, but it is clear that Mike knows what he is doing and is well equipped, including a space for hair and make up prep!. All in all, I highly recommend him for your headshot needs.

Mike is a very talented photographer! The session was fun and it took him only a handful of shots and a few minutes to snap a photo that I loved. I would highly recommend him!

Mike did an amazing job with my professional headshot. He's such a fantastic photographer, studio is in a very cool location and we had a lot of fun trying different styles. I was shocked how quick and easy the process was. He definitely knew how to capture the best of me! Thanks Mike.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bauwerks Photography Studio, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. From start to finish, the team at Bauwerks Photography Studio provided exceptional service and produced stunning photographs that exceeded my expectations.

The studio itself is well-designed, clean, and spacious, with ample natural light and a variety of backdrops and props to choose from. The photographers are clearly skilled and knowledgeable, with an eye for capturing the perfect shot. They took the time to listen to my ideas and preferences, while also providing helpful guidance and suggestions to ensure that I got the most out of my photo session.

I was blown away by the quality of the final photographs. The attention to detail and level of care put into each shot is evident in the final product. The lighting, composition, and editing were all top-notch, resulting in images that truly capture my personality and style.

But what truly sets Bauwerks Photography Studio apart is the customer service. From the initial consultation to the final product delivery, the team at Bauwerks Photography Studio went above and beyond to ensure that I was happy with every aspect of the experience. They were prompt, professional, and friendly throughout the entire process, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

Overall, I highly recommend Bauwerks Photography Studio to anyone looking for high-quality, professional photography services. The team is talented, dedicated, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible experience for their clients. I couldn't be happier with my photographs, and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Talk about easy to work with. Jovanka and the team are pros. They quickly establish a rapport with the subjects of the photos. This helps people appear genuine and relaxed. My clients were quite happy with all aspects of working with Bauwerks. And the results are excellent. I will find a way to work with them in the future.

I had a great experience working with Jovanka. She took shots from multiple angles and did another shoot after I wanted to try my hair in a different style. She made me feel comfortable during the process even though it was my first time and even helped me with feedback. I highly recommend going here if you need to get headshots.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience taking maternity photos with Jovanka. She spent time discussing what I was hoping for, she listened to my ideas and made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. She offered the perfect amount of guidance throughout the shoot - I felt free to be entirely myself and Jovanka brought out exactly the sentiment I wanted to capture. Her work is absolutely beautiful and I could not be more thrilled with my photos. Her work truly is art!

I've utilized Bauwerks twice (specifically, Jovanka). Once was in the studio for a professional portfolio, and once was at a live concert performance. Both times, she did a fantastic job and her photography provided me with a LOT of excellent shots that I have been able to utilize over and over again for ongoing promotional and marketing purposes.

Tiny Space Studio exceeded my expectations. I needed headshots but also images with props to illustrate my work for a new website. Mike was extremely flexible and helped create several vignettes I can now use in my marketing materials. Mike is a total professional and made it a fun, casual atmosphere the whole time. I highly recommend this company!

Mike was awesome! We worked with him at our office space to get headshots for a group of eight. He set up very quickly and had us individually in and out within minutes. He made us all feel very comfortable and had great direction for those of us uneasy in front of the camera. He is also accommodating another person in our office at his studio space - we appreciate the flexibility! The final shots are fantastic and will look very professional on our website and personal LinkedIn profiles. Definitely recommended!

The whole experience was great from start to finish. Mike had great ideas to make the photos look more modern and creative. It was easy to get in and out of the space and was a welcoming environment. The proofs were delivered immediately and the retouches were finished quickly. Really easy to work with if you're looking for better photos than you have today!

I highly recommend Tiny Space Studio. Mike made me feel very comfortable, talked me through the photo process, and kept discussing with me what I wanted out of the photos and how I felt about the photos we took. I was nervous about getting my headshots done but Mike made it a great process. And the headshot is wonderful!

I contacted Tiny Space Studio to shoot a professional headshot for me.

When I arrived at the studio, I was greeted by Mike. He was super friendly, organized, and communicative.

Throughout my 25-minute session, he did a great job making me feel comfortable and capturing my best moments.

When the session wrapped up, he did a good job communicating nexts steps and providing recommendations to me. The final headshot I received turned out great, and I was super happy with it.

Mike is great, and I highly recommend the Tiny Space Studio to shoot your headshot!

Kyle did an amazing job and is highly talented!! He knows how to take perfect photos and takes the time to find the right angle and lighting in order to get the best possible photo. I felt comfortable right away and he got to know me as a friend rather than just a normal customer. He is very kind and outgoing and I highly recommend getting your photos by him and for sure I'm coming back for his service.

Just did some acting headshots with Kyle this past weekend and cannot speak highly enough about my experience. From a technical standpoint, his portfolio speaks for itself. His expertise when it comes to lighting, angles, backgrounds, and all the other intricate elements of photography is clear, but his ability to relate it all in an understandable way and formulate the entire process around the client’s goals for the shoot is what sets him apart.

His number one priority really seemed to be providing whatever I needed in as thorough and fun a way as possible. I came in with a handful of outfit options to sort through, so I was a little worried about taking up too much time, but never once did I feel rushed. Not only was he patient and super insightful about the outfits and corresponding backgrounds, but he seemed genuinely enthusiastic to provide all the help he did. The entire shoot was just a blast, plain and simple, and Kyle is one cool guy. Really enjoyed chatting with him, jamming out to music in the studio, and taking some great pictures. Would 100% recommend!

I just moved to Evanston, and I am absolutely desperate for new headshots. I feel so lucky that I found Kyle. He is extremely professional, friendly, creative and inspiring to work with. The shooting session feels incredibly calm and easy, and there was not a dull or awkward moment. Most importantly, he really provided fabulous service for reasonable prices. Book yourself a session with Kyle, and you won't be disappointed at all. :) I would definitely love to work with him again soon.

Working with Kyle was fantastic from initially booking the appointment all the way through to selecting the final images. There are much more expensive headshot photographers in the area, but I can't imagine any of them being more professional, kind, and easy to work with than Kyle. He is the unusual combination of technically skilled and also great to work with. My photographs turned out beautifully, and I look forward to using him for any future photography needs!

I recently had an exceptional experience working with Kyle for a business headshot photography session. Kyle is an incredibly professional photographer. He is talented, ensuring that all aspects of the shoot are perfect.

From the moment I arrived, Kyle was welcoming, making me feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. He took the time to understand my preferences and what I was looking for, and he went above and beyond to deliver exactly what I wanted.

Throughout the shoot, Kyle was patient and attentive, providing guidance and feedback to help me achieve the best possible shots. His attention to detail was impressive, making sure every angle, lighting, and expression was just right.

What impressed me most about Kyle was his ability to capture my personality in the shots. He didn't just take pictures; he captured my essence and translated it into the photos, creating an accurate representation of who I am.

Overall, I cannot recommend Kyle enough for headshot photography. His professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to capture personality truly set him apart. Thank you, Kyle!

You know..It's hard to find people now-a-days that just make you feel as if we've been friends for years. The conversations and topics I brought up during our 30min photo shoot was something Lisa was not ready for (ha)! but Lisa is READY. Very professional and Honest. I absolutely plan on booking her for future shoots. I would travel miles for her! Absolute pleasure!

Lisa is outstanding!!!

Kicking the can down the road on getting a headshot has been one of my favorite things to do for a long time but I finally got it done last week with Lisa.

Lisa makes you feel comfortable in a way which is not contrived. She is just a warm and friendly person and you can tell she enjoys what she does.

I can elaborate further but Lisa is genuine, very pleasant to talk to, and takes really good photos. To me, that says everything.

I am so glad that I found Lisa for my professional photo shoot. She was professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Her studio was great, and she made me feel comfortable. I don’t like getting my photo taken, but she coached me along the way, and I love my photos. She offered so many creative ideas as well as listened to my own. I highly recommend Lisa Kay!

Lisa was absolutely incredible!! A consummate professional, very kind, and an extraordinarily gifted photographer!! She really listened to our entire team’s wishes and made us all feel right at home in her beautiful studio. I give her my highest recommendation and would refer anyone looking for a really talented photographer to her!! If I could give her ten stars, I would!!

Loved working with Lisa on my branding photos. She was so thorough, professional, and kind. She had an agenda made for the day of the shoot with the pose and outfit which was so helpful and efficient. My photos turned out great and I'm excited to use them on my professional pages! Would highly recommend and will be coming back to get updated pictures in the summer.

I hate photos and pictures of myself! Andrew did a great job at making me feel comfortable and was so good at paying attention to the small details (ie: necklace, collar, hair). Definitely recommend! You won’t be disappointed.

Andrew was great! He made the experience fun and knew all the tricks to get the perfect headshot. Definitely recommend for all corporate photography needs!

Andrew was absolutely incredible to work with and I am extremely pleased with how my headshots turned out. During the shoot, Andrew made me feel so comfortable, and was so fun to work with. He made the experience of getting my professional headshots taken very enjoyable, as he was making me laugh and hyping me up behind the camera. Andrew is so passionate and talented at what he does, and I would recommend him to anyone looking at getting photos taken in the Chicago area.

I was fortunate enough that my new employer retains Andrew for headshots. But if I were in the market myself, I would not choose anybody else. I expressed prior to our shoot that I didn’t enjoy previous sessions where my body was contorted in weird positions. Andrew took note of this and proceeded to explain and teach me, throughout the entire photoshoot, the reason for different poses and angles and how his techniques would result in the best shot. Andrew‘s techniques are professional and advanced, but he keeps things light and makes sure that you are enjoying the process. Highly recommend for your company’s or your own professional headshot needs!

I was in charge of coordinating headshots for over 100 people in our Chicago office. After researching several options for photographers, Andrew was the first to reach out to me to gather information. I am SO thrilled that he did; he makes you feel comfortable and at ease through conversation and funny anecdotes while capturing the true essence of you, through a photo. He guides you, with an experienced eye to capture the true, authentic you and not some fabricated, elevated, airbrushed version of you – making sure that when your client reviews your RFP or presentation deck – the individual they meet in-person, is one in the same.

Andrew’s integrity, business acumen, organization, and above all, passion, shines through from your first meeting to the wrap of your in-person photoshoot or event – and all I did was discover him through Google and set up the appointment, he took care of everything else:

• Composing emails and sending them out to the staff
• Organized calendar so employees could set up their own appointments at their convenience
• Communicated DO’s and DON’T’s for photo day
• Resolved any issues that weren’t satisfactory to our employees

Bottom line…you are in the best hands possible when it comes to your headshot, representation of who you are as an individual and your company’s reputation.

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo Andrew Michaels!!!

Garrett is a genius and so amazing! Not only that, he is also so kind, professional, and patient. I personally do not like others taking pictures of me. I always feel awkward, and I never know what to do. However, Garrett made me feel comfortable and at ease when taking my headshots. From the warm welcome, to the light hearted jokes and professionalism, Garrett was hands down just amazing. And let’s talk about how much I loved my headshots! I absolutely loved them from the beginning. He truly captures your essence like no one else can. I 100% recommend Garrett to everyone. A truly unique and exceptional service and experience.

This was by far the best headshot experience I have ever had. Garrett made me feel super comfortable and I hate having my picture taken. The photo he took of me is one of the best photos I’ve ever seen /loved of myself. You will not regret utilizing this service.

Garret was incredible! He shot my 70 year old mother who is notoriously camera shy and made her feel beautiful and comfortable and was able to capture her beauty through his camera. Working with Garret was a truly wonderful experience for our family. Garret, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and skill.

I had the best experience having my headshots taken with Garrett at Skyline Headshots. Garrett does a great job of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera while getting the perfect angles and poses. Truly the best photos I have seen and would recommend anyone to go for a confidence boost and professional upgrade!

Yoooo! I really dislike taking pictures, but if i do, i won’t even smile all the way. Regardless of that, i ended up smiling so genuinely. The space and Garrett made me feel so comfortable. Highly recommend!!

My beautiful boy, Benny, got his photoshoot done on Saturday March 11th. We went to Aaron Gang Photography in Chicago, IL. The patience Aaron had with my very hyper, high-strung, crazy, exited boy was amazing. It was very rewarding and he captured a lot of his different expressions (both goofy and serious!). Benny melts my heart and I’m glad to have found a photographer who could capture how handsome my boy truly is and his fun loving personality all in one.

I stumbled upon Aaron and his headshot booth at the ASCO conference and thought - why not? And I am so so glad that I did. I have had professional head shots taken, and perhaps I was looking especially good already, but this is the best head shot I have ever had taken of me and it required so little of my time. He just knew in seconds how to make his subject look wonderful. I am grateful!

I had the pleasure of working with Aaron on head shots I needed for work. Setting up an appointment was very easy and Aaron was communicative from the start. Aaron does a great job of making you feel comfortable throughout the shoot which allows for the best photos to be taken. I definitely recommend Aaron and look forward to working with him on future projects.

Loved my mini session I did with Aaron! I felt very comfortable and he was super nice! He's super good at bring out all the sides of you! As a beginning actress the prices for the mini sessions are amazing! I was only sad that I could only afford one at the time, but I will definitely be going back especially because I get complements on mine all the time.

Had a mini session with Aaron for a professional headshot. I am not very comfortable with staged photos but Aaron made me feel at ease, gave great guidance, and I am very happy with the results. I highly recommend his services. He is warm, personable, and reassuring. Great experience!!

Brian was a joy to work with. Along with a variety of incredible photos, Brian made the whole experience enjoyable, up lifting, and most of all fun. Brian is a truly talented photographer with a plethora of knowledge and industry tips. His experience shows not only through his photographs, but the ability to give a variety of back drops and lighting changes through your session. Brian's work gives you an array of options to choose from so you are ready for any audition. I would recommend Brian to anyone and everyone looking to have their headshots taken in Chicago.
Thank you Brian!!

My wife surprised me with a photo shoot at Wrigley Field for our anniversary. We flew into Chicago from Washington DC for a weekend and Brian was so great about working around our schedule. I am not usually comfortable in front of a camera but Brian made the entire process easy for me. I didn't really think about the fact that we were being photographed because he was just talking us through the process as it happened. The pictures are awesome and a great memento of our trip!

Brian you are so amazing. A consummate professional with a beautiful garden studio in teh Fulton Market neighborhood, Brian did my photo shoot for acting/comedy. The results were out of this world. He gets to know your personality and then brings it out in the photos by prompting you. Its a highly effective technique. His manner is easygoing and respectful and he does amazing work on the final results. I am so thankful I found Brian McConkey Photography.

Brian was truly hospitable, professional, thorough, and fun to work with overall. He made it his business to get to know me and help me achieve my goals for our session together. Most of all, he made me look like a million bucks! I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to be seen in their best light. Brian is one of a kind.

Best Photographer in Chicago area for over 25 years! Professional, detailed, reasonably priced. Brian has done my headshots since early 1990s. He recently did them again. Studio is professional, clean, and welcoming. Check out his web page, because he provides his photography skills for many events. OUTSTANDING!!!
