What It Is

Asha Jenee Media Group (AJM) is an in-person photography and videography studio based in Chicago, USA. Founded by Asha Jenee and inspired by her own experience as a mother, the studio focuses on solving a common family-photo problem: someone is always missing from the picture—usually the person taking it. AJM offers lifestyle family portraits, event coverage, and commercial photography services.

Core Features (by Dimension)

• Tool/Service Type: A typical offline local lifestyle service covering photography and videography. Its service area is centered on Chicago and extends across north-central Illinois and northwest Indiana, with travel sessions also available.
• Core Functions: AJM’s signature focus is family portraiture that “gets everyone in the frame,” along with event documentation for anniversaries, baby showers, proms, and similar occasions. On the commercial side, it offers headshots and food photography. The service workflow is standardized into three steps: consultation and booking, the shoot itself, and gallery reveal with print ordering.
• Collaboration & Compatibility: The studio emphasizes pre-shoot communication and theme planning, but the basic package is limited in terms of group size—up to 5 people—and wardrobe—1 outfit. Deliverables mainly revolve around a digital proofing gallery and print credit; the rules around delivery of digital originals are not clearly stated.

Pricing

AJM uses a “session fee + print credit” pricing model. Both family and premium portrait packages start at $450, including a 1-hour session and $250 in print credit. Event coverage also starts at $450, including 2–3 hours of coverage and $200 in print credit. Commercial and food photography pricing is not publicly listed. Overall, the pricing sits in the mid-range for the local market, with print credit used to encourage customers to purchase physical prints.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Clearly addresses a real pain point in family photography—getting everyone into the picture. The service process is transparent, both studio and outdoor options are available, and customer feedback describes the experience as professional and personable.
Cons: The service is highly location-dependent. The basic family package is capped at 5 people, with larger groups requiring a separate inquiry. Copyright and delivery rules for original digital files are also not specified.

Best For

Families living in Chicago and nearby areas who value inclusive family portraits and want high-quality physical prints, as well as local small and medium-sized businesses that need event documentation or commercial photography.

Access from China

Unknown. As a local offline service, there is very little need for access from mainland China.
