a bit about me


It's great to meet you!


I’m Emily, the artist behind House of Ilios. My approach is rooted in intention—capturing people with honesty, depth, and care. I’m drawn to the in-between moments, the quiet emotion, and the way light transforms a scene into something lasting.


House of Ilios was created to document stories of love, growth, and creativity. Derived from the ancient Greek word for “sun,” Ilios represents light, warmth, and clarity. Inspired by the beauty of Santorini, the work is timeless and true—where light and emotion meet.


Testimonials

Jamie

Emily is a wonderful photographer! She truly takes this job to a more personal level. From her listening to all my wants in my pictures to going over and beyond in making them happen plus more. Emily made sure I was comfortable and ensuring we captured all the moments and poses I had in mind. She was very professional but also made the experience feel as though I was taking pictures with a friend!
