Jaime Baskin

Welcome to my site!

I’m a Chicago-based photographer focused on connection-driven, story-led creative work. Whether I’m shooting headshots, branding, boudoir, or swimwear, my goal is to create powerful, honest images that feel unapologetically you. I collaborate closely with every client to bring out the spark they may not even realize they have — because photography, to me, is about creating an experience where you feel confident, seen, and proud of who you are.
