Putting Personality back into your headshots

Camera shy? You’re not alone.
It’s completely normal to feel a little uneasy in front of the lens—most people do. We tense up, second-guess our posture, and hope the final image reflects who we really are. Too often, headshot sessions feel rushed, leaving us with photos that don’t quite capture our essence.
 
At Art of Portraits Chicago, we do things differently.
Our photographers aren’t just skilled with the camera—they’re exceptional listeners with a gift for putting people at ease. Their empathy and calm presence help you relax, so your true personality shines through.
 
Make your first impression unforgettable.
Trust our experienced Chicago team to create a portrait that reflects your confidence, warmth, and individuality. This isn’t just a photo—it’s an investment in the best version of you.

Chicago Area and Evanston's Premier Headshot Expert

Meet Jennifer Schuman – Your Evanston & Chicago Headshot Photographer

Jennifer Schuman brings a lifelong passion for people, art, and storytelling to her role as a professional headshot photographer in Chicago. Growing up in a family of nine, and now a mother herself, Jennifer has a deep appreciation for celebrating connections, hospitality, and creating magic through her lens.

 

With a career spanning two decades and two fields—architecture and photography—Jennifer’s work is informed by her rich global experiences. She has lived in 12 cities across 4 continents and contributed to iconic projects, from Tiffany’s in New York to the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur. Her creative journey began when she photographed the people and landscapes of Spain’s Basque Country for Gente Viaggi, an Italian travel magazine, capturing beauty in its purest form.

 

Jennifer’s talent has earned her Portrait Masters Bronze Awards from 2018 to 2022, yet her greatest achievement lies in making clients feel comfortable, confident, and extraordinary. Understanding that many people feel camera-shy, she takes pride in creating a relaxed, enjoyable experience that brings out their best.

 

Beyond the studio, Jennifer combines her love of travel and portraiture by leading excursions to Costa Rica, where she captures breathtaking waterfall portraits. Her artistic eye, honed since her mother first taught her to use an SLR at 19, continues to transform ordinary moments into timeless, stunning images.

 

Jennifer is thrilled to bring her vision and expertise to Art of Headshots Chicago, helping professionals and individuals alike achieve success through authentic, powerful portraits.
