About the Business: Latrice Murphy Design &amp; Photography Studio

Latrice Murphy is a portrait photographer specializing in senior portraits, headshots, and branding photography based in Aurora, Illinois. Her studio is where confidence gets built, stories get told, and people realize they look way better than they think they do.

She is an award-winning, published photographer and a proud member of Professional Photographers of America. She started in architecture and design, earned a Master’s in Elementary Education, and somehow landed in photography where she gets to use all of it: design for the sets, teaching for the people in front of the camera, and creativity for everything in between.

She believes showing up as yourself is way more powerful than pretending to be perfect. Now, she gets to do what she loves most: capturing emotion, connection, and those blink-and-you-miss-it moments that end up meaning everything.

"If you’re here, you’re probably ready to be seen. I’ve got you."
