• 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!

    -- Kristen & Haunani, Essential Imagery owners

    P.S. That's Kristen up in the header -- Haunani is camera-shy.

  • The studio is closed through August 10th for summer vacation -- vive la France!

BALTIMORE PORTRAITS (OR, LIAM ROCKS.)

Liam is a lovebug and a charmer.  Lovebug = hugs frequently and without prompting.  Big squeezie hugs that make your heart melt.  Charmer = the lady at the dragon boats gave him a dollar for being the cutest thing she’d seen all day.  He promptly used it to buy Ben & Jerry’s.

We played it super-casual, which meant: eating pizza, riding dragon boats, having some ice cream, and frolicking in the Inner Harbor.  This is tough work, but someone has to do it…

I heart heart heart these images — the atypical portrait wardrobe, the hugs and love and the way Liam knows he *owns* these two.  Shana has started training for marathons since the last time I saw her — insane!  Insanely awesome, too!
