Chicago Headshot & Branding Photographer

Professional imagery that makes the right first impression

Your photos are often the first introduction clients, employers and customers have to you. Whether you need an updated LinkedIn headshot, cohesive imagery for your personal brand, or professional headshots for an entire team, your photographs should feel polished, approachable and unmistakably you.

LibbyLou Images provides professional headshot, corporate and branding photography for individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses throughout Chicago, Elgin and the surrounding Chicago suburbs.

From posing and expression to lighting and final retouching, I’ll guide you through the entire process so you never have to wonder what to do in front of the camera.

Headshots That Look Professional — Without Feeling Stiff

You don’t need to know how to pose. That’s my job.

I’ll guide you through subtle changes in posture, expression and positioning that make a noticeable difference on camera while keeping your images natural and approachable.

Whether you’re updating your LinkedIn profile, company website, professional bio, speaking profile or marketing materials, we’ll create a headshot that looks polished while still looking like you.

Professional headshots are perfect for:

• LinkedIn profiles
• Company websites
• Professional bios
• Realtors and real estate teams
• Attorneys and law firms
• Medical professionals
• Executives and corporate teams
• Entrepreneurs and small business owners
• Speakers and authors
• Social media profiles
• Marketing and press materials

Personal Branding Photography

Your brand needs more than one great headshot.

Personal branding sessions create a collection of intentional, professional images you can use throughout your website, social media, email marketing, advertising and other business materials.

We’ll plan your session around your business, audience and personality so your gallery feels cohesive with the brand you’re building.

Depending on your needs, your branding session can include a combination of:

• Professional headshots
• Lifestyle portraits
• Working and behind-the-scenes images
• Environmental portraits
• Detail photographs
• Multiple outfits or looks
• Images with intentional negative space for website and marketing copy
• Social-media-ready content

The result is a versatile library of professional images you can use throughout your business instead of relying on the same headshot everywhere.
