According to Inc. Magazine, within just 1/10th of a second, people form immediate judgments about attributes such as intelligence, social status, and even personality based purely on visual appearance. Do you really want them judging you on that photo from a wedding 10 years ago where you cropped out your date?
A professional headshot is often your first handshake with an employer, especially in today’s digital hiring landscape. Before an interview is even scheduled, recruiters and hiring managers are reviewing LinkedIn profiles and online portfolios. A clean, polished headshot signals that you take your career seriously. It communicates professionalism, confidence, and approachability, all of which are qualities HR Professionals look for in potential candidates. Unprofessional outdated images, or worse yet, a selfie (gasp!) can send the wrong message, so investing in a high-quality business headshot in Chicago is a small step that can make a BIG impact.

Lisa did a branded photo shoot with me recently and I can’t say enough good things about her and the whole process! I absolutely LOVE all of my photos. For someone who does not love getting photos taken of me, she made the whole process so easy and enjoyable and you can really see that come through in her work. I will definitely be doing another session with her in the future!Posted on Abeha JafriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa was wonderful to work with - professional, warm, and efficient. She made me feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire headshot session. I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future!Posted on EagleviewTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Lisa Kay through a women's networking page. I reached out during a time when my life was changing, and I knew I needed a fresh picture and a new vision for my career path. Lisa mentioned "what type of career do you want to attract?" Lisa was awesome,... she guided, encouraged, and inspired me to step outside of my comfort zone and think bigger than I had before. I love that character in my photographer and I love my headshots. Thank you LISA KAY!!!Posted on Danielle ReynosoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa has been shooting my family since 2021--she always manages to get the best shots (even of wiggly, uncooperative toddlers)! However, my favorite thing about working with Lisa is the incredible energy she brings to each session; she makes the time spent a lot more fun! I recommend her to anyone looking for sweet family photos :)Posted on ErikaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with for our branding photoshoot. She was professional, organized, and incredibly detail oriented from start to finish. Lisa made the entire process feel easy and comfortable, which is so important during a photoshoot, especially when you are not used to being in front of the camera. She created a calm, supportive environment and guided us every step of the way, helping us feel confident and at ease. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a branding photographer and look forward to continuing to work with her as my business grows.Posted on Jared IrelandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I will definitely be using her again.Posted on Abbey BaierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa was wonderful to work with and made my session very comfortable! I’d highly recommend using her for any photography!Posted on brittany sahatjianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lisa is an excellent photographer, and I would definitely do more business with her in the future. I got a professional headshot done and her process was very smooth and streamlined, and her studio set-up was very professional and clean. I could tell she had a ton of experience and knew what she was doing, and I loved how the end product came out. I also like how her studio is conveniently located in a residential setting with easy parking, and inside her beautifully decorated home.
