This chapter is fleeting, and it deserves more than a phone full of half-lit mirror photos. It deserves to be kept beautifully.
Two ways to book
Both share the same artistry, light, and finish. The editorial is simply shorter, offered on designated studio days.
Editorials are held at my studios in downtown Naperville and Chicago's Streeterville, and are for mama only. Sessions that include partners or children are booked as Premiere Sessions.
*If the designated dates don't work, your editorial can be scheduled on a day I already have a session planned, for $700.
Your private reveal
Directly after your session, we sit down together and you see your portraits for the first time, right there in the studio. You choose the two included in your editorial before you leave, and if you fall in love with more, you can add additional images, wall art, or an album on the spot. No obligation, ever. Most moms just find it hard to pick only two.

Fifteen years of first chapters
I'm Emily Cummings, and I have spent fifteen years photographing families in Naperville and Chicago, from the very first bump portraits through newborns, first birthdays, and beyond. Sessions take place at my studio, where the light is always beautiful no matter what the weather is doing outside.
