“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.”

“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 McHenry County
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”
Jacob Hand Photography + Motion
Local Photographers in McHenry County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 6, 2015
“Jacob Hand Photography was an absolute pleasure. We hired Jacob in February 2015 for two shoots and then followed up in June with another shoot. February was our first experience with a design photographer, and Jacob put me at ease and took the mystery out of the process. He walked through each property with me and a fellow designer and was able to outline which shots we'd want and what we needed to make each shot perfect. On our end, we were able to put a plan in place for shoot day to maximize the time with Jacob, and on his end, he and his team were on time, over-prepared, creative and thorough. We've now shot with Jacob multiple times, and I'll never use another photographer. He's the best.”

If you're thinking of selling or renting your McHenry County, 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 McHenry County, 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?
