Introduction
Confident. Approachable. Unforgettable.
That’s how you’ll look—and feel—after your headshot session with me.
Hi, I’m Aviva Sherman, a professional headshot and portrait photographer based in Chicago’s West Ridge neighborhood. I specialize in creating modern, natural-looking headshots that reflect who you are and where you're going—whether that’s LinkedIn, your business website, an acting portfolio, or a dating profile.
With over 8 years of experience, I guide you through every step of the session: expert posing, professional lighting, and gentle coaching to help you feel comfortable and look like your best self—not stiff or over-edited.
✅ High-resolution, retouched images included
✅ Fast turnaround
✅ Sessions available in my West Ridge studio
✅ Individual and group headshots for professionals, executives, creatives, and performers
My clients often tell me they’ve never liked a photo of themselves—until they saw the ones I took. If you’re ready for a headshot that works for you and truly represents your personality, let’s connect.

Had an amazing session with Aviva for a headshot photo. Aviva is very knowledgeable, welcoming, easy to communicate with, and great to work with.

Aviva did an amazing job accommodating the photo session, everything went smooth from scheduling the time and day to an actual photoshoot and receiving the pictures in short time. The best was she was directing me in the best way to achieve the goal- beautiful professional headshots I can use for professional or private use, definitely recommended!

As a fellow photographer, its rare that I trust someone else to shoot me, especially for headshots. But after working with one of my favorite models, Creighton, and hearing he got his done by Aviva, I decided to check her out. One quick convo and I was sold. It was about an hour drive but absolutely worth it.Aviva was patient, gave real feedback, and helped me fix what I was doing without making me feel bad. Thats not easy to do. She even gave me homework to improve for next time. These are definitely some of the best photographs of me ever. They gave me a quiet confidence and motivation to keep showing up.If you're on the fence, dont be. Aviva took the time to understand me and brought out something in me I didnt even know was there. She didnt just take great shots, she gave me a better version of myself. Dope!

5 stars is not enough, I would give her 10 stars if I could! Aviva has incredible skill, expertise, and vision. She was wonderful to work with. Ive gotten headshots 6 times now and this was by far the absolute best experience Ive ever had! I highly recommend her and will be working with her again. She will not disappoint. I received my photos within 48 hours. Great work and professionalism.

I had some headshots taken by Aviva and she was wonderful! Her lighting technique is phenomenal, the images don't really need retouching, it was that good. I definitely recommend her if you need a photographer!
