Working with a 1yr old is challenging enough, let alone posing a pregnant belly with one and the photos are just the sweetest thing. I would recommend Holly to anyone! She welcomes your ideas, while being prepared with plenty of tricks up her own sleeve.

We couldn't have been happier to have Betsy and Justin capture our engagement and wedding photos…read more I had really high standards (thanks to Pinterest), and Essence Photography far exceeded them. After experiencing engagement/wedding photography, I would actually have to say that the pictures are NOT the most important part. The most important part is how well the photographers and the subjects (us as a couple) work together. We totally dug Betsy and Justin. They are both so low key and relaxed, but at the same time, they get stuff done. They pose you and also take your suggestions for what you'd like to see. They are open to suggestions, but are also professionals, so they know what works and what doesn't work. They have such great personalities and are so good at what they do that my whole family was so appreciative of them on our wedding day. Having photographers with a good personality and disposition is so important, because they help you feel at ease, and therefore, take more beautiful pictures! I also have to say that Betsy is so kind for working with me. I have a pretty direct personality, and sometimes that doesn't always go over well. She was very patient in working with me and always listened to what I was looking for and did her best to accommodate me. I was very appreciative of that! The pictures they took for us will last us a lifetime. They are so beautiful and are also backed by good memories of working with Betsy and Justin. Thank you, Essence Photography!!

Thank you Audrey.

I booked with J for professional work headshots for private practice therapy. I hate getting my…read morepicture taken. Hate. A lot. J and I could not be more different. We had interesting conversation, he made me feel relaxed, and--dang--his photographs came out amazing. I get constant compliments: They're very real, authentic, and look like me. But cooler. He listened to me, was very open to any suggestions, and he has this way of getting to the exact right facial expression (which with me is hard). I feel I have the perfect professional photos showing me relaxed and as I am, authentically. It's a huge, huge help.
