Keynote speaker, Guitarist, and Author Jim Perona’s Website Got a facelift with Wes Craft’s photos. The feedback immediately poured in from Jim’s long time friend.
“Jim, the main photo on your website perfectly encapsulates who you are. It’s YOU!”
In a world increasingly artificial, let’s make something real that reflects you.
I believe that when a website visitor connects with what they’re seeing, they’re more likely to take that next step with your company.
Custom professional photos will go further than amateur, AI generated, or generic stock photography.
Corporate headshots for the board, executives, the new hires, or your whole company.
Let’s get you a new digital handshake.
“Wes is a true professional, and he puts his subjects at ease. We’ve had employees and clients notice the results too. We will call Wes again when it comes time for more corporate headshots and firm photography.”
– Ben McCulloch, Managing Director at XA Investments
The ones that look like they belong on a Costco Membership Card? We’ll make your headshots more consistent across platforms, more convenient to have made, and more affordable than multiple employee trips to a studio. Did we mention that they’ll look great too?
We come to you. Is that close enough?
We’ll be there ASAP!
We bring our mobile studio to your workplace and photograph your group. You’ll come away with clean consistent headshots of your team. Most choose our dark gray or white backgrounds for a clean modern look. We can use your workspace, a park, or city streets. Need a custom color? No problem! Let’s talk!
When you group your team’s headshots into a single event we can offer them at very competitive rates starting at only $800 for your first 4 people. That’s $700 more affordable than sending 4 staff members to a studio for 1 finished photo each!
Of course we work with single individuals and small businesses too.
Let’s talk headshot and photography resources for your business venture. We can join you at your office, home, or other location and make quick and painless work of it!
Are you looking for professional editorial styled headshots in Chicago or the Suburbs?
That’s right, they don’t have to be on a solid backdrop. Sometimes an environmental portrait is just the thing.
We come to you, set up early at your offices, and start photographing your team on time.
Volume does not have to diminish value
For groups, we invest 10 quality minutes with each person allowing time for warm up, direction, client feedback, variation, and finally selecting their favorite for complimentary retouching.
We can work with tighter 3-6 minute time frames if needed to capture 10-20 per hour. Need all 30 people photographed in one hour? We can bring more than 1 photographer for multiple stations.
Let’s get your group scheduled today!
“I don’t feel natural in front of the camera, but his patience and ability to create a comfortable atmosphere made the entire experience enjoyable.”
– Van H
Van had a life change and career opportunity to begin presenting keynote talks. His stiff old headshots weren’t cutting it anymore so he called Wes. In just over 90 minutes with Wes he got 5 different headshot looks plus environmental shots at home for a range of uses from Corporate Linkedin to Keynote Promotion, to Dating. He loved the natural and varied results!

The Session. We’ll use a tasteful blend of natural light and studio lighting as required, coaching you or your team for great natural expression, hitting all the marks we talked about and planned together. It’ll be fun! Let’s do it.
Individual Sessions start at $750 for about 75 minutes of session time and include every unique photo we make together. That’s usually 3-4 outfits and multiple looks and settings within each fit.
Group Sessions start at $800 for your first 4 subjects then it’s per subject after that with even better rates for groups of 20 or more.
Hey Creators, Instructors, Musicians, Small Business Owners!
Tell your brand’s story by going beyond a headshot. Maybe you need products photographed and editorial portraits for a founder’s story in an industry publication. The website needs a refresh. You just finished your book or album and need promotional materials. Give Wes a call like Composer Matt Peterson did!
It takes more than a classic corporate headshot to showcase what you’re about.
Brand Photography is editorial in style to show and tell the brand’s story visually as seen in a magazine story or newspaper. The images need to align with your website and other messaging copy.
We’ll incorporate environments like your workspace, props like your tools or instrument, and action to bring your photos to life. We could photograph your real clients using your service, working together with you. The possibilities are endless. Let’s brainstorm together.
Let’s discuss how photographs can help differentiate your company’s brand with potential customers. We photograph products, processes, and even partner with videographers to create testimonial videos and behind the scenes footage for you.

“Wes had a great vision for shooting in a way that reflected my personality and brand. The session was relaxed and fun. The final images were unique, well-lit, expertly edited, and have been a great asset to my portfolio and press kit.”
– Matt Peterson

They set a goal for 2024 – fostering connection among members. They hosted several social outings for members and their families. See how Wes knocked their coverage out of the park at a local Baseball game.

Wes has recently branched into editorial interior design photography thanks to a collaboration with longtime friends.
Husband and wife duo Morgan Martin Interiors & Paul Martin Builders finished remodeling and styling a lovely East Nashville residential property. They needed editorial interior photography that could serve as a portfolio of their work but also wider shots of each room for the real estate listing.
At Wes Craft Creative Co. we hype your business’ most valuable assets – its people. We’re based in DuPage County just West of Chicago and serve all of Chicagoland.
