Only $35 and include a 5 Minute Session + 1 High Resolution Digital Image with Printing Rights! Masks are optional *If you're not comfortable with this please don't book an appointment*. Essence Photography photographed our family after the birth of our second daughter - they did such a great job with our 2 year old as well as our newborn!

The pictures turned out great, and they were so easy to work with. We recommend them highly - they have a talent for capturing the true character of people and they do it seemingly effortlessly!
Services
I started Essence Photography in 2009. I had a vision to bring quality photography services to our community in an easy, fun, and accessible way! Relationship is key to creating a positive experience with our clients. We want you to LOVE your photos. We also want you to look back on the experience and think "WOW that was so fun and easy!".
Individual sitting is for one person, up to twenty minutes. Perfect for capturing your childs growth, maternity photos, birthday photos, graduation photos, and more! We have multiple backdrops and props available for use. If you would like to customize this session for a certain theme or design, call and let us know, or make notes when you book online.
It's about letting moments linger, soaking in the joy and excitement and not rushing anything. We believe as your story tellers, you should live in the essence of the moments you have dreamed of for a lifetime. What connects us to you, what draws us into your story and what makes us tear up when you finally get to kiss your husband for the first time, is that moment when two become one.
Relationship is at the heart of everything we do. We want you to know that when you choose us to photograph your wedding, we are more than just photographers. We are friends, encouragers, and visionaries. We are here to partner with you and your vision. We want to talk over details, dream with you, and ultimately provide you with a beautiful visual representation of YOUR love story.
Professional headshots are the best way to introduce yourself and your brand. Studio headshots are five minutes, and include one high resolution digital image of your choice. We lightly touch it up, and deliver it within two business days. A commercial photoshoot goes above and beyond just the simple headshot.

I recommend the owner (who I have met in my personal life) but not her photographers, I actually did not know she had photographers under her. We joined her Halloween mini’s, I don’t love Halloween but my little girl does so I did not purchase the images package. I was shown the photos (back of camera view) and was advised they were going to send me the cute posed one (it was marked down on our sheet for reference) but that evening I received probably one of the worst photos I have ever received from any studio session, they sent the most unflattering photo of my daughter just standing

You guys did an amazing job with my children’s Christmas pictures. I was so impressed by your interaction with my kids and I will never go anywhere else for pictures with them. Thank you so much!

These folks did an engagement shoot for my son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law. The photo's are absolutely stunning. They capture the essence of who they are as a couple and weren't just standard run of the mill posses. They really are so beautiful. We can't wait to see the wedding photos!

Thank you so much to Essence Photography for working with us on getting our last minute engagement photos done before our wedding! We had tried a couple of times but had to reschedule due to the rain, but they made it happen for us. We are so pleased with how quickly they returned our photos back to us as well so we could do some print outs before our wedding! And last but definitely not least, the photos are absolutely stunning!! Betsy has such a creative eye and made us feel comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera so we were able to capture our natural element for our engagement photos

Betsy and her team rock. They've been there for every step of my family's journey. From engagement photos to wedding, maternity, and now my son's baby photos. They are always professional, kind, and get photos back in a timely manner. Most importantly, the photos are beautiful, quality pictures to treasure for a lifetime.
Her videography team also killed it at our wedding!!! Such an awesome keepsake for us to look back on. I highly recommend getting their videography package.

We've had family photos once with Betsy in the past and this time with both Whitney and Victoria. We have family photos taken every 6 months and have used several photographers and our sessions with essence photography have been my absolute favorite! They make you feel comfortable right away and the kids just love them and actually smile naturally for them! The turn around time is super fast and you're left with gorgeous pictures.

Betsy and Justin are the most amazing people and are incredibly talented photographers! They have done headshots for my business cards, our maternity photos, and family photos for us and they have all turned out better than we could have imagined. It's not often that you run across a person who is both talented and has a passion for what they do, this is clear in both Betsy and Justin, they will capture your story with incredible images that will last a lifetime!

I got married last June and I can't say enough nice things about having my photos taken by Betsy and Justin Erickson of Essence Photography. Being that these two are married, they made a fantastic team. I had a friend recommend Essence Photography, who sometimes shoots for our local Northstate magazine. Betsy is open to trying any photo ideas you may have, but still tries to stay true to herself as a photographer and takes some really incredible shots.My husband's idea was to have us all dolled up and on his motorcycle. Betsy loved the idea and ran with it, and I can honestly say that I was absolutely

We had Essence Photography (both Betsy and Justin) photograph our wedding and cannot say enough good things about them! Our pictures turned out AWESOME! They were a dream to work with, so creative, and always looking for the best shots. They were so much fun to work with yet very professional at the same time. You can tell they love what they do because it shows through the photos! Thank you Essence Photography for capturing our wedding day! I love looking through our photos and remembering what a special day it was!
