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.

    Jaime is interesting to work with! From trucking through deep snow to dodging cars in the middle of a busy street. He's up for almost anything to get that epic shot! The shoots are also always fun and lighthearted. Combining that perfect combination of professionalism and enjoyment of the craft. Our shoots have been quite an adventure and made for a great story on top of resulting in some awesome shots! -Vicka Xiaka
