FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our session fee covers the photography shoot and includes one professionally retouched image. The session has no time limit (but typically lasts one-hour) and includes two "looks". Additional images are available. Typically, we shoot in our studio. If you would like your shoot on location please contact us for a quote.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, most people hate getting their picture taken, we get that. Together, we’ll create extraordinary images you’ll love — and you’ll actually have fun. Your photography will exude accessibility and confidence.; people will want to work with you. When you arrive for your session — which typically runs one-hour — you will have made pre-session decisions concerning what you need, what to wear and makeup (if you are a woman). By the way, our website provides guidance with those decisions. During the shoot, you'll be able to see our progress in realtime, so you know we're on track. About 2 days after the session, your images will be in an online gallery. You will make your image selection(s) from this gallery. Typically, within one week, we’ll deliver those professionally retouched images to you digitally. Also please see > headshotsofchicago . com / headshots-chicago-faq
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I began my career working for Chicago-area studios shooting portraits and weddings. The training was primarily on the job, but I was also educated through the Northern Illinois Professional Photographers Association where I competed and rated highly in print competition. Years later, we opened a studio in the Chicago area where my photography expanded to commercial work and model headshots.
