Emily Cummings Photography | The Luminous Project
You said yes... and I could not be more excited! You are officially one of this year's Luminous women. This little guide walks you through everything between now and your session, so all you have to do is show up and be you.
Congratulations again! You are part of something I am so proud of, a celebration of women's strength, resilience, and yes, beauty.
Your session is a celebration of your story and everything you have built. We will make portraits that look like you on your very best day... the kind that belong on a wall, and that just might give the next woman the nerve to step into her own light.
Tell me your story and what you want to celebrate. We will talk through how you want it to land, and start shaping your session around it.
Connect with our styling partners to plan treatments and looks. We will confirm hair and makeup with our beauty team and book any partner appointments.
Arrive 5 minutes early at Studio 25 Naperville. Then relax, let us take the lead, and let your story unfold in front of the camera.
