“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.”

“I highly recommend True Essence Photography! I recently had my professional photos taken and I'm blown away by them. The session was great and I had lots of fun. The studio is in an accessible location and spacious. Dontavious demonstrates a high level of professionalism and attention to detail.

“I would recommend everyone to book with True Essence. The name absolutely speaks for itself. The photographer, Dontavious, truly captured the true spirit and natural nature of me during our session and I was absolutely pleased. He was very informative and made sure I knew what each equipment that was surrounded by me was, and it was quite helpful and different. He encouraged me the entire time and I will definitely book him again!”
