Pixelspin Photography

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 30, 2017
“We've hire Pixelspin to highlight all our feature projects both commercial and residential, and have never been disappointed. In fact the customer services and professionalism is beyond our expectations. Edward can equally capture interior and exterior features in a manner that frames our work in the best possible way. I can truly say that the work done by Pixelspin has gone a long way toward not only marketing our business but also has helped to show existing clients ideas we can bring to their projects.”
Jacob Hand Photography + Motion
Local Photographers in Waukegan
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.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 14, 2015
“John Shipka, 3diFocus, does an excellent job of selecting views, framing rooms, and promoting a home's features when photographing properties for on-line marketing. He provides prompt and well-edited results from a photoshoot, in picture and video formats, and is consistently attentive to details.”
Ted Glasoe
Local Photographers in Waukegan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 22, 2016
“"As an Interior Designer, I hired Ted to photograph a master bathroom project in late 2014. He arrived on time, worked efficiently and captured all the key elements. The photographs are stunning, from wide-angle shots to exquisite details. Since that first project in 2014, I've hired Ted numerous times in 2015 to photograph my kitchen and bathroom projects. Ted is very professional, and I would highly recommend him.” Linda Navara, LMR Designs, LLC www.houzz.com/pro/lmrdesigns/lmr-designs-llc”

“We hired Josh to shoot some architectural photos and we were very impressed with his work. He is very professional and knowledgeable about exterior shots. The quality of his work and his responsiveness to timelines was excellent. Pricing was very competitive. We would recommend him for any of your photographic needs.”
Paul Schlismann Photography
Local Photographers in Waukegan
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 22, 2014
“Paul is a real pleasure to work with. As a custom home builder, I have had him shoot all of my custom homes over the years and I wouldn't even think of using someone else now. He has a phenomenal eye and the level of detail he takes his post production work to is absolutely incredible. In my line of work, Paul's pictures are the first thing that my Clients see when they come to my website, so they have to be perfect. To that effect, I am often told how professional my website and my homes look, which is a direct compliment to Paul and his work.”

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