A Chicago Headshot Photographer Who Understands People
What sets Aviva Sherman Photography apart is not just technical skill, but a genuine understanding of people. Many clients arrive feeling nervous or unsure, especially if they haven't been professionally photographed before. Aviva's calm, friendly approach creates a relaxed environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves.
Chicago is a city full of ambition, creativity, and opportunity. From the Loop's corporate professionals to the city's vibrant acting and creative community, every client has a different goal—and every headshot session is tailored accordingly. There is no one-size-fits-all formula here. Instead, each shoot begins with a conversation about your industry, your goals, and how you want to be seen.
Professional Headshots for Every Industry
Aviva Sherman Photography specializes in a wide range of professional headshots, making it a trusted choice for clients across industries.
Corporate and executive headshots are clean, polished, and approachable—perfect for leadership profiles, company websites, speaking engagements, and media features. These images communicate confidence and professionalism without looking stiff or overly posed.
LinkedIn headshots are designed to help professionals stand out online while still fitting naturally within their industry. A strong LinkedIn photo builds trust instantly and can significantly increase profile views and engagement.
Actor headshots focus on authenticity and expression. Casting directors want to see the real person, not heavy retouching or forced poses. Aviva works closely with actors to capture natural expressions that reflect type, range, and personality.
Creative and personal branding headshots allow for more flexibility and individuality. Entrepreneurs, artists, coaches, and creatives often need images that feel modern, relatable, and aligned with their brand identity.
Authentic Photography That Builds Trust
One of the core values of Aviva Sherman Photography is authenticity. In an age where AI-generated images and over-processed photos are becoming more common, real photography stands out more than ever.
Aviva believes a great headshot should look like you on your best day—not a filtered or artificial version of yourself. Subtle retouching is used to enhance, not erase, natural features. The goal is for people to recognize you immediately and feel a sense of connection when they see your photo.
This authentic approach is especially important for actors, executives, and entrepreneurs, where trust and relatability are essential.
Studio and On-Location Headshot Options
Aviva Sherman Photography offers both studio and on-location headshot sessions in Chicago.

During the planning process, Aviva helps clients choose the option that best supports their goals and brand image.
