Keynote speaker, Guitarist, and Author Jim Perona’s Website Got a glow up with Wes’ photos recently. 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”.
I believe that when a visitor to your website connects with what they’re seeing, they’re more likely to book your service, purchase your course, or reach out to start the conversation. Our custom professional photos will go further than amateur photos, AI generated images, or generic stock.
In a world increasingly artificial, let’s make something real that reflects you.
Corporate headshots for the board, executives, the new hires, or your whole company.
“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 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!
By grouping 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 sittings and 1 finished photo each!
Of course we work with individuals and small businesses too. Let’s talk headshot photography for you and your brand.
Are you looking for personalized editorial headshots in Chicago or the Suburbs?
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 5-6 minute time frames if needed to capture 10-12 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!
“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!

Calling all Creators, Instructors, Musicians, Small Businesses, and Solopreneurs
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.
to discuss how photographs can help differentiate your company’s brand with potential customers. We photograph products, processes, and even partner with video to create testimonial videos and behind the scenes footage for you.
