Emily Freymann

Emily Freymann is the Owner and Lead Photographer of Freymann Photography & Design in East Moline, Illinois, where she combines more than a decade of photography experience with expertise in web design, digital branding, and visual storytelling. She founded her studio in July 2024 to help individuals and businesses strengthen their brands through images, custom websites, and intentional digital experiences. Her work encompasses portrait, event, product, and editorial photography, as well as user-centered web design, branding, and digital marketing. Before launching her creative business, Emily spent eight years in banking, developing strong client-service, communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills that continue to shape her professional approach. She later pursued web development and digital design at Black Hawk College, where she graduated as valedictorian in 2023 and earned a Web Developer certification. Her experience as a Student Life Coordinator Assistant and UX/UI Designer and Developer intern further strengthened her understanding of event planning, audience engagement, user experience, and digital communication. Emily’s photography and design work has since been featured in multiple print and digital publications, and she has collaborated with organizations and businesses including Von Maur and the Walton Family Foundation. Driven by creativity, community, and meaningful storytelling, Emily is passionate about creating authentic visuals that help clients connect with their audiences. One of her most meaningful projects has been a farmers’ mental health calendar, which used photography to share farmers’ stories and raise nearly $7,000 for a meaningful cause. She is also committed to supporting her local community through volunteer involvement and creative partnerships. Outside of her professional work, Emily enjoys spending time with her husband, traveling, visiting farmers’ markets, gardening, hiking, practicing yoga, and exploring the outdoors. She is also an enthusiastic cat owner who enjoys taking her cats on stroller walks.
