Welcome to my photography blog!
Please explore my photos and contact me if you are interested in a session. I'm available for family portraits, babies, maternity, enagagements and weddings.
The idea for this session was originally inspired by cake smash portraits. My girlfriend told me about these & encourage me to do this with Adison. "But, Adison's turning 3, isn't she too big?", I thought. Well, we did it anyway (and although she was rather neat about eating & didn't smash-up the cupcake or get as messy as the 1 year olds) the results were just precious! So, I've realized no matter what the age, a birthday is a great time for personal portraits to capture the person as they are. You will only be that age once, so why not?
I'm Emaiza - mom, wife, artist & dreamer. I believe in beauty, love, & all things good in the world. I'm a natural artist, been creative since childhood. I also studied Art & Design in college at the Art Institute of Chicago. Afterwards I worked in frame shops & ventured into designing handbags, doing commissioned paintings & drawings; all on a quest to find what I am meant to do in this world. I'm a believer in finding life's purpose. I've found this with photography. Photos has become more & more meaningful to me as I've gotten older. They capture times in life that have passed and the precious moments of the present. It gives me an outlet for creativity and doing something meaningful for someone. As much as I love capturing my life's moments I love capturing yours.
A special thanks to my partner & husband, Richard, who's supports my passion and jumped on board with this business. We both look forward to working with you & thank you for your interest. Feel free to leave comments or contact us for further information.
