Studio 25 Naperville

She's the one who steps out of the frame when someone points a camera her way.

The one who says "ugh, don't take my picture" and actually means it.

The one who's been making sure everyone else looks good in photos for YEARS while she goes basically uncaptured.

This Mother's Day, put her in front of the lens. $249. Professional hair and makeup. A full session at Studio 25 Naperville with me coaching her through every minute of it. Photos she'll actually want to keep. No awkward. No "I don't know what to do with my hands."

She shows up. I handle the rest. Vouchers are almost gone. https://mothersdayexperience.emilycummingsphotography.com/

Elise turned 40 and turned her Luminous Project session into something even more meaningful; part birthday celebration, part branding shoot…all intentional.

This is what The Luminous Project is about. Space to be seen in a new light, to reconnect with your own presence, and to walk away with images that feel like you.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

This photo is from one of our annual trips to the Pride Parade—something my daughter once dubbed “Rainbow Day,” and ranked just below Christmas on her joy scale. That flag in her hand? She waved it like it meant everything.

To all the families, couples, and beautiful humans showing up as their full, authentic selves—I see you, I celebrate you, and I’m so honored every time I get to capture your stories.

Pride is personal. Pride is joy. Pride is holding a rainbow flag like it’s magic—and knowing it matters.
