Michael Alan Kaskel
Photographers in Des Plaines, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 May 2015
“Mike has taken the photos for many of the rooms I have posted to Houzz. I appreciate how conscientious he is of the total picture. He always takes the time to get the lighting perfect and knows when to add or subtract ornaments from the composition.”

“Cynthia Lynn is an excellent choice for a photographer. We hired Cynthia Lynn to take photos of a house we built, and she did a fabulous job. She has a passion for shooting and will provide people with photos of the highest quality. Cynthia Lynn is a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
Jacob Hand Photography + Motion
Photographers in Des Plaines, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 October 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.”

James Caulfield LTD
Photographers in Des Plaines, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 December 2016
“I cannot provide enough praise for Jim Caulfield! Glessner House Museum has utilized his services on several occasions to photograph both the interior and exterior of the building. The interior presents some interesting lighting challenges, but Jim's images always capture the spaces in their best light, with crystal clear details and the exact feel that the Glessners sought to create when designing and furnishing their home. (And he even adds fire in the fireplaces!) We were especially pleased with Jim's images of the house which appeared in the recently published book The Space Within. We also used his image of the main hall for our annual Christmas cards in 2011, which were most popular!”
Michael Lipman Photography
Photographers in Des Plaines, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 April 2015
“I was amazed that Michael brings all this lighting equipment to light each room. He takes great care to balance out the objects in each room we do. He is great to work with and is very detailed oriented. The photos he delivers are excellent for our needs. The colors are all accurate to what we intended. Not only does Michael do a high quality job, he also met my deadline. He is a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.”
Ryan Ocasio Photography

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 September 2017
“Absolutely the best! We use Ryan Ocasio Photography for all of our real estate listings. He's easy to schedule with, has a very fast turn around for getting the pictures back to us, and most importantly the photos always look stunning! We'd never use anyone else!”

“We have worked with Bruce for over 20 years, and exclusively use him to photograph our work for our portfolio. I believe his work really helps sell our design work to new clients, and I find this invaluable in my profession.”

When you're selling your Des Plaines, IL home, quality photos are of utmost importance. As home buyers swipe through hundreds of photos, you want yours to stand out for all the right reasons.

What Is a Home Photographer?


A photographer focussed on architecture and interior design is specially 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 fulfil those expectations.

Professional home photographers vary quite widely in the services that they offer. Some photographers include home styling 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 Stylists and Property Staging, Interior Designers & Decorators, Architects, 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 Des Plaines, 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?
