Working with Emily was an absolute dream! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera, which is rare for me. Her energy is so warm and encouraging, and it really shows in the photos. Every single shot came out beautiful, I couldn’t stop smiling looking through them. She captured me in a way that made me feel empowered and radiant. I’ll definitely be back for my birthday shoot, I can’t wait to work with her again!
I have worked on Emily’s team as a hair and makeup artist for a while and her talent is unmatched - she can truly transform her clients into absolute bombshells. Emily always makes the entire boudoir experience for each client feel empowering, comfortable, and absolutely unforgettable. The studio is a welcoming space of confidence, self-love, and celebration of feminine energy. Emily is not only incredibly talented behind the camera with years of diverse experience but also has a true gift for helping you feel seen, heard, and beautiful exactly as you are. The sessions are so much fun- from relaxing while getting glammed to the final images to absolutely blow you away. She makes clients comfortable, feeling so powerful and confident looking at photos of themselves! Seeing the end result really makes it hard for someone to choose just a few images- they are all simply amazing. If you’re considering a boudoir session in Chicago, book Emily.It’s more than just photos; it’s an experience that will change the way you see yourself. I cannot recommend Emily enough!
I decided on a whim to book a boudoir shoot as a surprise gift for my future husband on our wedding day, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I reached out, Emily was incredibly accommodating, even with my tight timeline. She managed to fit me in the very next week, delivered a preview shortly after, and I had the photos ready well before the big day. Emily made the entire experience feel effortless. She’s warm, professional, and clearly an expert at what she does. Her ability to create a comfortable & empowering environment is unmatched. Her talent behind the lens is undeniable, and the end result completely blew me (and my husband!) away. I'm actually jealous I don't have an artistic eye like her. The fact she specializes specifically in boudoir shoots (I know she used to do weddings too) shows it's her passion & it absolutely shines through in her work I rarely write reviews, but Emily’s work is so exceptional, it deserves to be shouted from the rooftops. If you’re even remotely considering a session — do it. You’ll be in amazing hands, and you won’t regret it for a second. Thank you so so much Emily!
This was the best thing I could've done for myself. Emily is so talented!!!! She not only is kind, warm, and makes you feel relaxed, She also really cares that you like the work shes doing. She is a true professional. She helps with outfits, posing, and vibes. Plus she had some fur friends which made my experience 10/10. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you for making me feel confident - I cant wait to gift the photos to my soon to be husband! If you are even questioning doing a shoot for your other half, or just yourself, DO IT! Book Emily! Everything exceeded my expectations.
I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience I had with Emily. From start to finish, everything felt professional, comfortable, and fun. Hair and makeup were done by Ashley Barber, and she absolutely nailed it. I felt amazing before we even started shooting—definitely a confidence boost right out of the gate. Emily is a total pro and has a way of making you feel completely at ease, even when you're wearing very little (or nothing at all). I never felt awkward or uncomfortable—she guided me through everything, gave clear direction, and was super encouraging the whole time. When it came time to choose my photos, I had such a hard time narrowing them down because there were just so many good ones. Emily really knows what she’s doing with the camera. Overall, the whole experience was empowering, fun, and so worth it. If you’re thinking about booking a session—do it. You’ll be in great hands.
