Light Leak Pictures captures unforgettable photos and videos for national, local, and personal brands.
“We’ve always loved light leaks, the unpredictable and totally enchanting burns of light from traditional filmmaking. They capture exactly what we love to do for our clients—create experiences that are unique, unexpected, and touched with magic.”
Finally!
Professional brand video and photo that’s easy and fun (for everyone).
Our clients love our simple booking process. No layers of producers. No long list of assistants. Just you, us, and the next great experience.

Have a project you’d love us to work on? Need to switch things up? All you have to do is ask.
Exclusive
When you book with us, you book with us (Tim and Emily). Our small batch services are worth their weight—without the agency heft.
Trusted
We’re built for ongoing client partnerships—we genuinely care about the people we work with. That’s why we work so hard to get it right.
Ready to go?
So are we!
We’re based in Chicago, which is the perfect launchpad for national and international shoots. Where is your brand story taking you?

Mum is the word.
The secret of a great shooting experience
Here’s something you probably wouldn’t know about us (even if you asked).
We’ve filmed high-profile celebrities. We’re the go-to lifestyle photographer for several national brands. Some of our headshots have made headlines. Our clients trust us because we keep the integrity of the shot (and our cool) no matter who is in front of the camera.
...which is why...
You won’t find a ton of logos and client profiles on our website. While we’re insanely proud of our partnerships, our low profile is on purpose. We’ve grown steadily by reputation and referral—and we want to keep it that way. We’d much rather focus on you!
“[Emily and Tim] are consummate pros with styling, photography, and video—AND they always take care to translate and enhance your vision. They make life better!”
“The magic in working with this intuitive team is their ability to capture meaningful stories and then amplify their essence. The creative process is collaborative and conversational, and brings out a better product than anticipated.”
