Emily Cummings Photography · Mother's Day 2026
This Mother's Day, get IN the picture.
Hair, makeup, a full studio session at Studio 25 Naperville, and me coaching you through every minute. Solo glam, kids in the frame, or both... your call. Good toward portraits, branding, family, newborn, maternity, or generational sessions.
As Featured In
What's Included
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.
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.
You arrive as yourself. You leave glowing. Our makeup artist enhances who you already are. Natural, luminous, and entirely you. Not a different version.
Help figuring out wardrobe, pulling your personality into the session, and looking effortlessly like you. Zero "what do I wear?" panic.
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.
Good toward portraits, branding, family, newborn, maternity, or generational sessions. Solo glam, with your kids, or both. Your call.
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.
The Mother's Day Voucher
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
Every woman who walks into the studio is already beautiful.
A session just helps you see what's been there the whole time.
"I didn't even recognize myself. In the best way."
"I've never felt more like myself in a photo."
What Women Say
"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."
"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."
"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."
About Emily
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
