Now that's how I want my Saturday night to look 🍸 The Owl is great drinks and better company.

On location menu shots really captured the feel of the entire establishment. 📸

Now get off of social media and go start your tab. Cheers! 🍻

Sunny and 60 degrees gives me the same feeling this cozy kitchen does. ☀️

Beautiful work by long-time clients Rochman Design-Build- ten years of homes together and I’m still impressed. 🏠

Capturing spaces like this is one of my favorite parts of what I do. Designers, builders, and real estate agents- let’s connect.

Can’t make it to the studio?
I bring the studio to you. 📸

Milan City Council headshots — streamlined, polished, and painless.

On-location headshots for teams, offices, and leadership. DM to schedule. 📧

Headshots that feel human. 📸

Amy is a tele-health provider who wanted images that felt personable and welcoming. Without a home office that fit the vision, the studio became the perfect space to create something calm, professional, and authentic.

Intentional headshots, created in a space designed for you. 🌱 DM for details.

Branding isn’t one moment — it’s the full rhythm of a business from morning to night. 📸

We skipped straight to nightlife for our first shoot at The Owl — cocktails poured, music playing, and no shortage of movement. 🍸🦉

Over three shoots, Ryan and I worked together to capture the energy and essence of The Owl. From product details and interior spaces to portraits and action behind (and beyond) the bar, every part of the experience was documented with intention.

Projects like this are built on trust and shared vision — and that’s what makes documenting a business like this so meaningful. It’s a privilege to help bring that vision to life.

ERI Creative × The Owl 📸☕️🍸

Two days.
Morning + night.
Coffee, cocktails, and everything in between.

This shoot came together to support fresh branding imagery and a beautifully executed new website by — and it was a full-circle moment. Ryan and I go back 11 years, to when he was opening his first shop and I was just finding my footing in Milan.

Now, here we are — building something intentional, collaborative, and built to last.

The Owl has already begun rolling out their new images, and I’ll be sharing more from this project soon. ✨

Amazing project I had the pleasure of collaborating on. We spent two days getting building shots, lifestyle coverage, menu product photos, portraits and more. Dave and Ryan are talented, fabulous people to work with. 🦉

Well hello, friends — and welcome to new faces.

This has been a quiet space for a while, and I’m glad to be sharing here again.
If we haven’t met, I’m Emily Rose Chene — owner of Emily Rose Imagery, an heirloom-quality portrait photography business, and on the less publicized but equally busy side, ERI Creative, where I work with businesses and entrepreneurs through intentional, story-driven imagery.

While Emily Rose Imagery focuses on the personal and the emotional, ERI Creative is dedicated to visual storytelling for businesses, builders, designers, corporations, and brands who need images that work just as hard as they look good. I have worked with airlines, coffee shops, financial planners, architects and stylists. (That's just to name a few. 👀)

If you know a business owner or creative who could use this kind of work, feel free to pass this page along, I truly appreciate it.

Since I last shared here, I’ve also moved into a full-service studio space in downtown Milan, Michigan- perfect for professional headshots and branding sessions. And when the studio isn’t the right fit, I travel throughout Michigan (and beyond) to document your vision on location.

Same eye. Same standards.
Different purpose.

If you’re a business owner or creative professional looking for elevated, intentional imagery in 2026- welcome. I’d love to connect. 📸

If you're still getting your candles from TJ Maxx or Target, you're doing it wrong, and you better get over to Haley Self Care ASAP. Great scents? Check. Chemical free? Check. Burns three times, if not more, longer than other candles? Check. Re-fillable GORGEOUS jars? Check. Supporting a small business? Check. Hot boss babe? CHECK. So proud of you Haley. All of my love.

Couldn’t have had more fun shooting with Sue and her girls for this this last month. What an inspiring group of ladies!
