As a professional photographer, it's my priority to ensure that you have an overwhelmingly positive experience working with True Essence Photography. During your photo session, my team provides that your experience will fulfill your needs. Sometimes it's our client's first time ever working with a professional photographer and being in a studio environment.
But at the end of their session, you would think by looking at the images that we've captured they were professional and have been doing it all of their lives. I'll collaborate with you to make sure we capture the moments you'll treasure for years to come. As your professional Photography specialist, being a creative powerhouse is essential.

By chance or fate, you've landed on my photography website, and I am glad you have. But since you're here, why not take a second to learn a little about myself. Even if you decide not to book with me, I'm still happy that you took the time out of your day to read about me and to see my work. My name is Dontavious, and this is my creative space and my safe place to share with you the places that I've been fortunate to visit and capture.
The main aspect that makes us different from a majority of Wedding Photographers is that we take time to carefully create a photography timeline for your wedding. You should be provided a timeline by your wedding coordinator or DJ. However, we add to the organization of your day by detailing a timeline that will work within your original timeline.
Wedding videography has come a long way since the 90s. When videographers would show up with a camera on their shoulder, a huge bright light shining in your face, and the grainy, boring videos that most likely your parents have that are now sitting on a shelf collecting dust. Nowadays, wedding films are engaging, cinematic, and something you are likely to share on social media and watch repeatedly.
Almost all of our clients book a session because they have seen and enjoyed our work in online portfolios. For fine art photography or editorial work (example: photos that help illustrate newspaper or magazine articles), photographers are not required to get a model release. They must have a model release if they want to use someone's likeness for self-promotion or advertisement.
Our boudoir photoshoots are fun, relaxed, creative, and a great confidence booster. Our images are chic, playful, modern, provocative and everything else in-between. Boudoir Photography is the form of displaying a woman's and or man's beauty naked beauty, literally. Sometimes people look at boudoir photography and talk down on it because of the way that some photographers portray boudoir photography, which can be displayed in a bad way.

Dontavious was such a pleasure to work with! This was my very first photo shoot and he did an amazing job with guiding me through it. He is very professional, personable and witty. The quality of his images are outstanding as well as his pricing! I will be booking again in the near future.

I searched for a photography for a couple weeks before I stumbled upon this gentleman. I am sure glad I did too. He showed up promptly and had a great attitude. Even when my family were going fool with their drama, he kept his composure and even somehow managed to wrangle my mother-in-law in a picture that shows her in the best possible light. I didn't think such a photo could be taken. After the wedding he got our pictures to us in a very timely manner, and I thought the price was more than fair. I would recommend this company to anyone seeking a great photographer.

I had a great experience with True Essence Photography. I wanted some corporate headshots to improve my LinkedIn and social media networking presence and they turned out great. This was my first time doing something like this and Dontavious walked me through the process and made sure I had some great photos.
