Team headshot day · Chicago
In short
Team headshot day in Chicago starts at $1,400: 5 hours on location with a photographer who works in Chicago, and 40 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 5 business days.
Why choose Team headshot day in Chicago?
A directory assembled from whatever photograph each person happened to have is the most common visual problem a Chicago professional-services firm has, and it is entirely solvable in one day. The point of an on-site headshot day is not convenience — it is that every person gets identical light, an identical background and an identical crop, so the finished page reads as one firm rather than as a collage assembled over six years.
Worth knowing about Chicago
The single variable that decides whether a Chicago headshot day photographs forty people or twenty-two is whether somebody inside the firm owns the schedule. Seven minutes a person holds when there is a booking sheet; walk-up sessions halve it, because the set sits idle between people and nobody knows when their turn is. A scheduling sheet is supplied with the booking for that reason, and it is the part worth insisting on internally.

FAQ — Team headshot day in Chicago
How much space does a team headshot day need?
About twelve by fifteen feet with a ceiling of eight feet or more, and a power outlet. A conference room with the table pushed aside works well; a corridor does not. Windows are welcome but not required — the whole point of an on-site day is that the light is identical for everyone regardless of the weather outside.
Can remote team members be included?
Yes. Staff outside Chicago are photographed in their own city against the same background specification and lit to match, so the directory reads as one team rather than as two. That is quoted per person rather than per day, and it is worth doing at the same time as the main session so the whole set is consistent.
