Emily Finger Photography — client experience

The Experience

In their own words — what our clients say about working with Emily Finger Photography.

“We felt like movie stars but also just... us? I don't know how she did that.”

Emily honestly felt like another bridesmaid. She was fixing my train, making Kyle laugh when he was nervous, just handling everything. And then we got the gallery back and I ugly-cried for like an hour. Kyle too, though he won't admit it. The photos are so us it's almost weird.

North Shore Wedding

“We flew her down to Tampa and it was so worth it.”

We found Emily online from her North Shore work and just knew. We flew her down for our Tampa wedding and she got it immediately — we wanted colorful, real, editorial but not like posed and stiff. And Diego's photos came out just as good as mine which never happens with wedding photographers honestly.

South Florida Wedding

“Every single girl in my grade asked me who my photographer was.”

Ok so I was really nervous going in. But Emily just made me feel like... a different person? In a good way. The hair and makeup was so good and she kept hyping me up the whole time. When I saw the photos I actually cried. My mom cried too. They don't even look real.

Class of 2026 — New Trier

“He came home saying it was actually fun.”

My son wanted nothing to do with senior pictures. Told me it would be 'the worst hour of his life.' Direct quote. He came home from his session with Emily asking when he could see the photos. I almost fell over. She just has this way of making guys feel comfortable. The portraits are natural and relaxed and they look like him. That's all I wanted.

Senior Portraits — Parent, Lake Forest

“My Instagram finally matches the level of my work.”

I've never loved photos of myself so I was dreading it a little. But it ended up feeling like a girls' day, not a photoshoot. The planning alone was worth it — she helped me pick outfits and locations I never would have thought of on my own. I've had three new clients tell me they found me because of the photos so. Yeah. Worth it.

Branding Photography

“These photos are the most meaningful thing I own.”

I almost didn't book this. My mare is 24 and I kept saying we'd do it someday. I'm so glad I didn't wait. Emily was so gentle with her, so patient — she let my girl set the pace and never once rushed us. She got it. She captured what I see when I look at my horse and I didn't know that was possible.
