“Chris is my go to photographer. Her eye and skills have been beyond impressive. I credit many home sales to her due to her ability to see a home through a buyers eye as well as a real estate professional. I would highly recommend her to any fellow Realtors if they are seeking high quality professional photography.”

“Tricia is an absolute gem! She is skilled at her craft of photography, works efficiently, and is a sweet, down-to-earth soul that makes collaboration so easy! I've had the pleasure of shooting over 5 of my interior design project with Tricia during the past year. Tricia is communicative, provides helpful guidance, and is always eager to do whatever needs to be done for the right shot. I highly recommend Tricia Shay Photography!”

“I have used Charlene for several shoots. She has always been prompt and professional. Most importantly, the photos have been absolutely amazing! As a real estate professional, I need a photographer that has a great eye for detail and can do some minor staging. Charlene has exceeded my expectations every time! I highly recommend giving her a try!”

“Rob was very professional and timely. He takes amazing photos. He also is speedy in his turn around time from shooting the photos to having them ready to go to upload online. I would highly recommend him.”
Victoria McHugh Photography
Local Photographers in Harvard
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 5, 2015
“I recently completed refurnishing a master bedroom in a beautiful home on Lake Geneva, WI. We used exquisite but very subtle fabrics for the bed, drapes and furniture, in addition to a hand loomed rug from the Baharam Shabahang Collection. Unless expertly photographed, none of the scrumptious nature of the fabrics would come across in a simple photo. I knew that I needed a photographer who would be able to capture the subtle texture, pattern and tonal variations in the fabrics and rug. Victoria McHugh lived up to all my expectations; she arrived at my client's house on time, brought only the equipment she needed into the house but was totally prepared by storing anything she might have needed in her car, got right to work, made sure she understood what I was looking for and had very insightful suggestions. I highly recommend Vicki as a photographer of residential interiors and look forward to working with her again. Cynthia Wilson Cynthia B Wilson Interior Design”

If you're thinking of selling or renting your Harvard, IL house, hiring a home photographer can make a big difference between making money and just breaking even. Think about when you look at photos of homes online: If the lighting is terrible, the quality is poor and the listing provides very few photos, don't you subconsciously associate these bad qualities with the homeowner or renter? A home photographer helps with those challenges.

What Is a Home Photographer?


A home photographer is trained to make your home look its best. If you are a design professional — an architect, an interior designer or a contractor, for example — consider hiring a photographer to capture your work to enhance your portfolio, and to attract and engage new clients. They understand what buyers and renters are looking for, and they have the equipment and editing skills to fulfill those expectations.

Professional home photographers vary quite widely in the services that they offer. Some photographers include home staging in their rate, some include editing and some want to come prior to the shoot date to set up shots. Others will not offer these services unless asked or will charge an additional rate. Make sure you ask the photographer beforehand what is included in the cost. If he or she does not offer everything you need, you might want to consider reaching out to other professionals to get the best finished product. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of photographers: Home Stagers, Interior Designers & Decorators, Architects & Building Designers, Real Estate Agents.

Before you call any potential photographers, make sure they have good references. Friends who've sold or rented homes before are great resources, as are local real estate agents. Look through each Illinois photographer's online portfolio to make sure what you're looking for is being offered. Once you've done that, it's a good idea to walk around your home and write down exactly how many and what types of shots you'll need. Include any specifications you might have, such as angles, things to consider about your home’s Harvard, IL site, the time of day you think will be best and aspects of your home you want to highlight.

Questions to ask a home photographer:


  • Is photo editing included in your rate?
  • How long will it take for you to provide the photos?
  • Do you do home staging?
  • What happens if I don't like the first round of photos?
  • Do you offer consultations prior to the shoot?
