Professional Headshots Chicago North Suburbs

Helping Their Eyes Meet You

 

Hey!
I’m Pam

I have always loved photography and have had a camera in my possession as early as I can remember. Former elementary school teacher, turned stay at home mom, I was always the one with a camera! From photos of kids on the playground, travel photos, and photos of kids doing sports.… one day, people started recognizing my skills and offering me money to take photos. It was never my intention to become a professional photographer, but I feel so lucky to have turned my passion and talent into a job that I love!

How to look good in your headshot 101

Hi, I’m Pam. I’m a former school teacher. The studio is now my classroom, and your face is now my student.

Nobody wants to show up for a test unprepared, and neither should they for a headshot.

My process is the study guide - and my lighting and positioning is the smart kid you get to cheat off of.

Together, we’ll ace this.

Kind words from clients

  • "I have had multiple photographers for professional photography throughout my medical training and Pam is truly a miracle worker. Within minutes and proper positioning, she created incredible photographs beyond anything I have ever had. Her attention to detail, techniques, and artistic eye are what make her stand out above any photographer I have come across. She is truly gifted and will be an asset to me as I continue to expand my business!"

  • Review from Elizabeth

    Pam Marans Katz's photography captures the essence and personality of the individual with unmatched artistry. I appreciated her sharp attention to detail, and her natural warmth made the photo shoot a fun and memorable experience.

    I was truly shocked because I never knew how expressive a portrait could be. She brought out my confidence and compassion in a still image. My headshot looked like a better version of me.

    When I reacted to my image, I will never forget that she said, "that's why I love what I do." And just when I thought I already knew her fun-loving personality, I saw she was on a mission to bring more positivity into the world through our self-image. It's inspiring that her inner beauty brings out ours.

  • "Pam, I keep looking at my picture and feeling like you captured the me that I want to be!! At a transitional time when I am looking so deeply inside, it feels so good to have a picture that I love. Today, when I looked at that picture, I felt so good about myself. Thank you!"
