Em's broadcast-quality portraits gave my career a new visual identity. My contract was renewed with a substantial raise three weeks after the new headshots ran.
Em photographed my entire family individually during the reception without any of us realizing he was doing it. The portraits he sent over are now everyone's LinkedIn profile photos. We are a family of professionals now.
First-birthday session for our daughter. Em captured her face when she tasted cake for the first time. That photo is the screensaver on every device we own.
Annual family photos with three young boys is a fool's errand. Em made the fools look great. We have a wall of these now.
We did the session at my mother's house in Elmwood Park where I grew up. Three generations in the kitchen, cooking together. These photos will be in our family forever.
Em's film of our heritage night will live in a national museum archive. That is the kind of work he makes.
Executive portrait that ran in a Chicago business publication. Em made me look like the kind of CEO I want to be, not the kind of CEO I worry I look like.
24-hour turnaround every single time. I have used Em on 47 listings in 2024. He has never been late. Not once.
Em's aerial photos documented our Streeterville development from foundation to topping-off. The before-and-after spread ran in a national architecture magazine.
Got the highlight film back at 10pm on a Tuesday. I had two glasses of wine and ended up crying on the couch with my husband. Three months later, I still rewatch it once a week.
