Family Fall Portraits: Oct 19th - Nov 6th

Capture the spirit of your family with a timeless fall portrait at Essenza Studio! Portrait sessions will be from October 19th through November 6th. There are limited appointments available, so call 831.5351 to book in advance!

All booked appointments require a $250 deposit. $100 will go towards your session fee & $150 will go towards your order. When you place your order the night of your Projection View not only will you receive 20% off all Wall Portraits and Holiday Cards, but with a $350 minimum order you will be given an extra $100 in Essenza Cash for additional products!

Also remember to schedule your free Portrait Consultation with your photographer, Erica, to go over ideas, clothing and product(s) you're interested in for yourself and family. And when you do this, you'll be given $20 off your session fee!

Portraits will be taken in our outdoor area to give you a casual look with all the beautiful colors the season has to offer, so dress in casual clothing like jeans and a sweater. Here are a few more tips to help make your portrait look it's best:

1. Coordinate Outfits. Everybody in the portrait should wear items that compliment each other in style and color.

2. Stick to solids and subtle patterns. An eclectic mix of patterns can clash and reduce the quality of a portrait.

3. Dress in timeless clothing for your portrait. Try not to let the clothes you wear date the portrait.

4. Have appropriate shoes and socks! A lot of family portraits can be full body.

5. Wear colors that translate well through photography. Dark colors like navy blue, black and earth tones look great outdoors.

We look forward to seeing you!

50% off Studio Sessions and 30% off Art Prints

Every moment counts! Our little ones grow up so quickly. My little guy, Sam, is already 8 months old and I have a hard time remembering where the past months have gone and how they went by so fast. I have to admit that I am one of those moms who is forever photographing my son because he seems to change almost daily, that is except for the fact that he still has no hair and not even a tooth.

Given the state of our economy we’re aware that some may choose to simply forego professional portraits or go somewhere just to “get them done.” We understand that family portraiture can seem like a luxury item during tough economic times. For that reason we have decided to temporarily lower our prices so you don’t have to forego having the portraits created that will last long after this economic downturn ends. This way, not a moment is missed in your child’s portrait history and you have custom images that you’re crazy about!

So come on in. We’re offering 50% off our studio sessions and 30% off our Art Prints through July 31st. And keep an eye on our blog for upcoming monthly specials on specialty products and boutique items. Visit www.essenzastudio.com, go to our blog and become a subscriber! Mention something you read on the blog and receive 8 FREE wallets with your order.

We’re sorry we can’t make this offer retroactive but you can use the 30% discount on Art Prints to place an additional order from a previous session.

We look forward to creating for you!
