• 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!

BAHAMAS WEDDING, PART ONE.

If you were a Vince and a Sarah, you would have been married on Saturday.  And you would have practically exploded Paradise Island with your happiness.   At the resort called Atlantis, based on the mythical city that plunged into the sea, the softly-focused, edge-of-perfect, did-that-really-happen images are the ones that caught my eye today.

I’m so glad these two came into my life, whisked me away to a tropical island, and allowed me to photograph their nuptuals.  Their downright adoration of one another is lovely to behold, and the way their giggling can make everyone around them giggle means…well, wherever you go, there’s giggling.  And come on, who isn’t a sucker for that?

Now, enter your sweet little e-mail address into that sweet little subscription box at the bottom of the page, and I’ll see you tomorrow for more portraits, some crazy dance moves, and (of course) the kids in attendance.
