“I've had nothing but the best experience with True Essence Photography. From the moment I originally contacted the team for my shoot, through the booking process, the actual shoot, and receiving my photos afterwards. Very professional team. Dontavious was quite helpful and made this a very easy process. And I can't forget to mention how respectful the remainder of the the team was. They made sure everything was done in a timely manner, and I will definitely continue to use them for my photography needs.”

Commercial Photography & Video
Headshots, brand images, conferences, company events, interviews, and promotional films. Tell us what your business needs to show and where the finished work will be used.

Content Built for Where You’ll Use It
A website refresh needs different images than a conference recap or a product launch. We’ll plan the shots around your audience and the places you’ll use them, from a homepage and sales deck to social posts and campaign videos.
Projects can include team headshots, workplace images, event coverage, interviews, product details, and short promotional films. Bring a brief if you have one. If you don’t, we can work through the shot list together.

How We Plan Your Shoot
Tell us your goal, deadline, location, people involved, and the final photos or videos you need. We’ll discuss the schedule, shot list, usage, and delivery before providing a quote.
On shoot day, we’ll direct portraits and planned scenes while watching for natural moments that show how your team really works. You’ll know what’s being made and what happens next.
