We worked with Kyle to coordinate corporate headshots for Emerson Appleton Group in Rosemont and he could not have been more accommodating, professional, and kind. He is a budget-friendly photographer and his work aligned perfectly with our company’s culture. He successfully delivered headshots for over 100 of our employees while incorporating his coaching skills and allowing every employee here to feel comfortable and confident. Thank you so much Kyle for your help on perfecting our professional image!!

My husband and I recently went to Kyle for headshots. Between the two of us, we had eight changes of clothes. Kyle made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and never rushed. He was thoughtful, creative, patient, and brought out our best, most smiley, selves. The finished photos look wonderful. And his rates were quite reasonable. We highly recommend Kyle for whatever your professional photography needs may be.

I booked a branding photoshoot with Kyle for my private practice therapy company and I am so happy I did! He went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable while also sharing his expertise and ideas for posing and shooting. He was exceptionally kind and patient and I am forever grateful to him for that. My branding photos came out beautiful and I can’t wait to share them on my website. I would HIGHLY recommend booking Kyle for your next photoshoot, esp for branding. To my fellow therapists out there looking to elevate their branding for website and marketing, book Kyle!!

Kyle is a very talented and professional photographer. He helped me feel at ease and has a great eye for how to get the best shot possible! The background color choices were great and we even got to take some photos outside with natural light. I highly recommend Kyle to anyone interested in getting new headshots or portraits!!

Fantastic experience! Kyle was professional, honest, and fun to work with. Highly recommended

Kyle is awesome! I’ve used his services for two different sets of headshots about 3 years apart, and each time they came out excellent. He’s an excellent coach for “what do I do with my hands” and “how should I adjust my head” cues, he makes sure you don’t have stray hairs impacting the photo, and he works hard to get a variety of options regarding highlights/shadows and a range of facial expressions (closed/open mouth smile, smizes, etc.). 10/10 would recommend.
Sissy Pomplin
Kyle’s skill and professionalism definitely set him apart! I’m incredibly happy with my actor headshots and am excited to use them as tools for growing my business! The turnaround time for finished edits is very reasonable, and I had so many great options to choose from! I recommend Kyle Bondeson Photography to anyone who needs some updated photos!
Jordan Monsul

Kyle is a great photographer. He makes you feel comfortable during your photoshoot session. He also has a bunch of amazing backdrops to choose from. I’m an actor, so my headshots mean the world to me. He shot them exactly how I wanted them. I have found my new headshot photographer!
Rita Kalala
I don’t even know where to start! I couldn’t be happier with my pictures! Kyle was fantastic, extremely patient, and put me at ease right away. He is also very detail-oriented and will make sure that he captures the perfect shot! He also kept his word and delivered the pictures on time as promised! I will definitely recommend his services to anyone!

Kyle is fantastic! I was on the hunt for a new headshot for months; Googled and found his website, then signed up for a studio session on the spot. Having not met him before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The photo session was great and my photos exceeded my expectations.
Katrina Lapham
Kyle has taken headshots for several of my coworkers and everyone highly recommended him. Kyle did not disappoint! He was really helpful with telling me how to pose and helped make sure I didn’t have any stray hairs to ruin the photo. He has great attention to detail and eliminates any awkwardness with friendly conversation. 10/10 would recommend it!!
Antonio Lee
Kyle Bondeson is the most amazing, creative, hardworking, and well-rounded professional photographer I have ever met! I was extremely pleased with the headshots that Kyle photographed back in March. Every aspect from the lighting to the background was perfectly achieved through Kyle’s sharp attention to detail. He listened to my ideas, provided great suggestions, and made the entire experience seamless. I was also impressed with Kyle’s drive to obtain the perfect photograph, which also allowed me to choose from a wide variety of quality pictures after our session. I am very lucky to have found such a great photographer. If I could rate Kyle 100 stars for this review, the decision would be a no-brainer. He is worth every dollar! Do yourself a favor and book Kyle.
Heidy Sawyers
Kyle was very professional and detailed. He exactly understood the theme of the picture and I am beyond happy with the results. I think he is the best photographer in the area.
Andrew Damico
Kyle was really great to work with. I generally do not like having my picture taken and was a bit anxious about having to take a headshot, but Kyle was super friendly and made me feel comfortable. He walked me through each step of the process, both before the shoot so that I knew what to expect regarding the timeline, and during which helped relax me, and make me feel confident and comfortable. I could easily schedule an appointment with him, and his communication post-shoot was top-notch. My partners all live out of state, but when they come to Chicago for our next workshop we are excited to use Kyle again! I spent a good deal of time researching different photographers in Chicago, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to work with Kyle; hands down, my highest recommendation.
Sonal Sullivan
It was a pleasure to work with Kyle for my professional portrait shoot for my business. He was friendly, personable, patient, and creative with the photos he took. I am grateful I found his website and had the opportunity to work with him. Best experience and competitive rates. I highly recommend Kyle for your next professional portrait shoot!!
Bethany Jones
I went to Kyle to update my headshots. I’m soooo happy with them! I felt very comfortable and relaxed shooting with Kyle. He made a point to get the shots I wanted and made some great suggestions of his own. Being a person of color, it’s not always easy to find a photographer who knows how to light the right way for my skin tone. Kyle had no problem. I will definitely be using him again!
Kaitlyn Ezeocha
Kyle recently completed head shots for all of our employees and they turned out GREAT!! He is very professional, efficient and talented. His turnaround time exceeded all expectations too! Our organization will definitely be using Kyle for future photography needs! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Megan McCareins
So glad I booked a headshot refresh with Kyle at his home studio. He is very professional and conversational and the setup was great with a private changing area and a fun buzzer to indicate when you’re ready. He was ready to go when I arrived and allowed me to do a few outfit tweaks along the way, and gave helpful feedback on my positioning and facial expressions to guide me through my awkward photo nerves. If you need headshots, I highly recommend Kyle’s services.
Gavin Casillas
First headshot experience and it was a fantastic one! I definitely will come back to Kyle to get updated headshots. Worked very well and was so helpful throughout. Pictures also turned out AMAZING!! Definitely book with Kyle!!!
Paul Pompeo
I’ve worked with Kyle on two photo sessions for myself and two for my family. I then brought several members of our team in to do their photo shoots with Kyle. He’s very professional, but very relaxed and great at putting his subjects at ease. Got great results and his ability to work with (as well as his skills behind the camera) are his strong suits. Plus he has great music playing during his sessions! I’d recommend him highly.
Nicole Reed
Shooting with Kyle was lovely. He is very professional, but has a creativity that is amazing. He is a perfectionist that makes sure that all your pictures are lighted well, and allows for you to be interactive. He has great intuition also on what makes a great shot. He is kind and very thoughtful. A truly great experience! I am recommending him to all my actor and creative friends for headshots as well as lifestyle shots.
