How much does Chicago photography cost?

Portrait session: $350–$1,200. Family session: $400–$900. Wedding photography: $2,500–$8,000+ depending on hours and second shooter. Real estate: $200–$600 per property. Corporate headshots: $200–$500 per subject.

How long until I receive images?

Portraits: 2–4 weeks. Weddings: 4–10 weeks. Real estate: 24–72 hours. Ask for the written turnaround in the contract.

Most photographers grant a personal-use print release with digital delivery. Commercial use rights (business ads, book covers) require separate licensing. Read the contract carefully.
