I first met sweet Maeve at Movies for Mommies , and I've had the pleasure of watching her grow through several Pop-In sessions since!

Now she's 18 months old, full of personality, always on the move, and definitely a busy body!😂

It's moments like these that remind me why I love what I do. Watching these little personalities grow and change with every visit is pretty special.

Thank you to Maeve's family for letting me be a little part of her journey. 💛

🦖 Welcome to Jurassic Park... Gaertner Family Edition! 🦕

The Gaertner family understood the Halloween assignment! 😂

Two adorable little dinosaurs, Mom and Dad dressed as Jurassic Park staff, and a whole lot of cuteness!

I absolutely LOVE when families get into the Halloween spirit together! And those little dinosaur smiles? Too cute! 💚

Thank you, Lila, for letting me capture another fun family memory!

Yesterday was such a fun day at the Halloween Spooktacular at Victoria Square!

I had the pleasure of photographing 9 Pop-In sessions, from the tiniest little teddy bear to superheroes, princesses, and some pretty adorable family costumes! 💛

Here are a few of the sweet faces that stopped by!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who gave Essence Photography & Design a try, and to those familiar faces who came back for another Pop-In!

Even better, a portion of the proceeds went toward supporting the Balfour Grad Class of 2027!

Missed out on the Halloween fun? My Pop-In Portraits happen monthly, and I offer a variety of other sessions for babies, kids, and families throughout the year!

🌸 Sweet Willow | 14 Months 🌸
Those smiles, those giggles, and those adorable little toes! 😍
Willow stopped by my Memory Maker POP-IN Portraits at VicSquare Community Market on August 29 and brought all the happy toddler energy. At 14 months old, she's full of curiosity, confidence, and the sweetest expressions—and I loved capturing this stage.
These quick and fun sessions are designed to capture your child's unique personality exactly as they are right now, because they grow and change so fast. 💕
📸 Personality POP-IN Portraits happen monthly (usually the second-last Saturday of the month) and are perfect for documenting all those little milestones in between birthdays.
