You'd love to have a family portrait session that fully captures who you are, how you connect, and how much affection surfaces when all the members of your family are present within the camera frame.

We're happy to capture your family in our studio, complete with gorgeous light and minimal distractions, or in your comfy-cozy home full of familiar toys and routines. No matter where our session takes place, we'll delight in your delight. And we'll encourage you to pay attention to one another instead of the camera, because there's no 'add happy' button in Photoshop.

We don't care whether you're barefoot or wearing fuzzy slippers, and we won't be sending over a twenty-page list of suggestions about what to wear. (We can make you look beautiful in sweat pants if you love each other.) We just want to capture your family. Your habits, your quirks, and your love. Die-hard beach goers? World travelers? Animal lovers? Trekkies? We wanna see it. And when you view the images we've created together for the first time, we want the depth of love you feel for your family to grab you by the collar and bring tears to your eyes.

The video below provides a peek at how portrait sessions unfold. If you have questions or would like to schedule a portrait session, click on the 'Contact' link above or call 215-206-3689. Oh -- and thanks for stopping by, lovely!

GET YOURSELF 25 COMPLIMENTARY HOLIDAY CARDS.

Did you know?

Essential Imagery creates stylish, custom holiday greeting cards featuring your family portraits.

And what does custom mean, you ask?

It means we’ll say things like, ‘Yes, that font can be switched!’ ‘Sure, those colors can be tweaked!’ ‘Absolutely, we can come up with a new greeting!’ ‘Need the images in black and white? No problem!’ While stationery stores and online vendors sell you cards with no options, we offer the ultimate customizable portrait card. Holiday cards are available in sets of 25.

Oh, the best part? Book a full October portrait session and complete your ordering process by November 15th to score a complimentary set of 25 holiday cards.
