based in chicagoland hello👋
my name's Emily Elizabeth, and I'm a photographer in the Chicagoland area. Email or DM me for any inquiries!

Ever since I can remember, I've always been passionate in capturing and keeping memory of the little things in life - which I would argue are so incredibly underrated. I love capturing and depicting what's around us - nature, cities, landscapes, people - in their truest most comfortable yet authentic sides. I love sharing everything through my lens in my travels, but also do portrait photography for families, maternity, and engagements. Follow me in capturing the essence of all the places and faces 📸

seattle at sunset - on film!! 🎞✨️🌆

This was my first time shooting in a lower light/dusk situation so I really didn't know what to expect. I was so pleasantly surprised when I got these scans in 🥹 more to come from the PNW adventures!

Which is your favorite?

i've always wanted to take a stab at nighttime street photography, so had to seize the opportunity when staying downtown last weekend ✨️🌃

I had so much fun working with a whole different genre that I'm used to - it really felt like it lit that creative spark again!
If you're a photographer, you likely know all too well how easy it is to go through the motions of day to day and miss the way it felt to be behind the lens purely for the passion of it. So, here's me saying that if you're feeling that way, try something completely knew and different and it might just be what you needed all along ✨️🌞
