What's Included

More than photos.
A full experience.

From the moment you book to the moment you walk out with your final images, every piece is handled. You don't have to figure anything out. You just show up.

01

Personalized Prep

A one-on-one planning conversation to talk through wardrobe, vision, and any nerves you've got about being on camera. You'll walk in knowing exactly what to expect.

02

Professional Hair & Makeup

You arrive as yourself. You leave glowing. Our makeup artist enhances who you already are. Natural, luminous, and entirely you. Not a different version.

03

Styling Guidance

Help figuring out wardrobe, pulling your personality into the session, and looking effortlessly like you. Zero "what do I wear?" panic.

04

The Session

A relaxed, guided shoot at Studio 25 in downtown Naperville. I coach you the entire time. Zero awkward posing. Zero "what do I do with my hands?" Just real photos that finally look like you.

05

Use It However You Want

Good toward portraits, branding, family, newborn, maternity, or generational sessions. Solo glam, with your kids, or both. Your call.

06

Artwork & Heirlooms

Heirloom prints, framed wall art, and custom albums available starting at $600. Ask about our exclusive custom locket in partnership with Hannah's Fine Jewelry.

Portrait client

The gift for the woman
who never buys one for herself.

Here's the thing... most of us (moms, wives, sisters, friends, and yes, ourselves) push the just-for-me stuff to "later." Not on purpose. Just because everyone else's stuff always feels more urgent.

This voucher breaks that cycle. And it takes 60 seconds to give.

Subtle hints welcomed. Forward this page. Leave it open on someone's laptop. Casually mention it at dinner. I won't tell.

Real Before + After

What happens when you
finally give yourself an hour.

Every woman who walks into the studio is already beautiful.
A session just helps you see what's been there the whole time.

Before Before
After After

"I didn't even recognize myself. In the best way."

Before Before
After After

"I've never felt more like myself in a photo."

What Women Say

She has photographed
hundreds of us.

"Emily somehow transcends every challenge. Uncooperative kids, awkward feelings, impossible lighting. She returns gorgeous photographs every time. I am so grateful for the way she has captured our family on four different occasions."

Sara Disney

"As a creative director, I've been on loads of photoshoots, but I've never loved being in front of the camera. Emily changed that. She made my experience comfortable, fun, and memorable and I delivered a portfolio I'm proud to showcase."

Anne Leroux

"Her talent is truly one of a kind and she has such an amazing eye for capturing beautiful pictures that are timeless yet modern. We have photo albums that are heirloom quality, works of art. My children love to pour over them."

I photograph women
the way they actually look
on their best day.

For 15+ years, I've specialized in helping women feel genuinely comfortable in front of my camera. Most of us are the ones taking pictures of everyone else. Putting ourselves last. Avoiding the camera altogether.

I've photographed hundreds of women. I know exactly how to pose you, light you, and capture the version of you that shows up on your best day, all while making you feel completely at ease.

My job is not to change who you are. It is to show you what other people already see.

Emily

Photos that live where
they belong.

I guide every client from the planning call all the way through picking artwork for your home. Because beautiful photos belong on the wall, not buried in a phone camera roll.

Collections start at $1,500 and are selected during your personal ordering appointment.
