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!

$25 SESSION FEE! WHAT!?

Okay, lovely readers, here’s the deal: there’s the potential for session fees for kiddos to be only $25 during the month of July. (Yes, that’s $25, not $225…I typed it correctly.) To earn that, though, I’m gonna need you to subscribe to the Essential Imagery mailing list.

Scroll aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way down to the bottom of the blog, where you’ll see this:

Enter your e-mail in that happy little box, and voila! You’ve subscribed.

I’ll take $1 off the session fee for every person that subscribes between now and July 1st, all the way down to a $25 session fee.

I’ll announce the July session fee on the 1st, and it will apply only to sessions that take place in July. Okay, now round up your buddies to help lower the session fee, and don’t forget to subscribe!
