Meet Emily

Emily Cummings - Owner and Head Photographer

Emily Cummings is an award-winning portrait and commercial photographer based in the Chicago and Naperville area. Over the last ten years, she has mastered the art of capturing simple, modern photos that exude the natural beauty and authenticity of her subjects. 

Her secret? A thoughtful prep that approaches each client’s photoshoot like a commercial experience. Emily builds each session with the end in mind. She and her team have built out a pre-shoot process that ensures a plan is in place to remove stress from the day of your session.

You’ll chat through your goals for the session – from the location to the look and vibe you’re going for to where the photos will be used – aligning on all the key components. She has tools to help style your wardrobe and a hair and makeup artist to get you camera ready, so you and your family feel comfortable and confident before you step in front of her camera.

And when you do? You end up with photos that reflect the best version of your family.
