We used Karen Forsythe Photography for our staff headshots and we’re thrilled with her work!

Karen worked with me every step of the way, beginning with a personalized approach to the photo shoot to meet my goals, including a consultation on clothing, hair and makeup. She created a very relaxed, calm atmosphere while quietly directing me through each pose. Karen knows how to get the "best shot" using different lighting techniques. As I am usually the individual taking all of the family snapshots, it is wonderful to have Karen create portraits of me. She does beautiful work and creates truly complimentary photos. All mothers should gift their families with a wonderful portrait of themselves!

You may know that your photo of me, smiling in my robe wearing my grandmother’s double strand pearls, has been very effective and was used for my billboard on I-57.

One of the greatest pleasures that I have as a Chicago headshot photographer is surprising people with how good they really look.
