A different approach


At Quintessence Photography, I will hold your hand every step of the way. Here's the thing: We all have hundreds (thousands!) of photos on our phones and hard drives, from baby photos to wedding coverage that we've been meaning to organize and... do something with? The prospect of sorting, compiling, and getting them printed and framed is just one more stressor in your already busy life.


I believe memories and people are worth preserving forever, and that the best way to achieve that is through heirloom artwork. I design our session with you to create art around you and your loved ones so those images and moments can be enjoyed for generations.





 Whether we capture a simple afternoon walk, an epic day on the slopes, or a mountaintop ceremony, my goal is to take the pressure off the photography experience so you and your loved ones can enjoy the moment. If you're not comfortable in front of the camera, don't worry: I'll be there to guide and help focus you (and snap the shutter when you're not looking!) It's gonna be awesome!




Life is short.

The journey:

I always work with you from start to finish to curate a photography experience that meets your goals and excludes the excess.

What does that mean?

No client is the same, so I don't sell standardized packages. Instead, once you inquire, I give you a call to discuss exactly what you're looking for and see if we are a good fit for each other!

I charge a Creation Fee and after that you only pay for the artwork you choose.

After our session, I'll show you the images and you can pick your favorites that you would like made into albums or wall art. I'll help you with sizing, placement, and all the details.

No matter what season of life you're in, we'll work together to capture beautiful moments and turn them into treasured pieces to cherish forever.

It's Adventure Time!

I call them "adventure" sessions because my goal is to capture genuine moments while guiding my clients so you look your best. I want to help you preserve and communicate your story through imagery. All I ask is that you bring your authentic selves.

Adventure Sessions


Whether it's a meal at a diner, an excursion through the Old Port, or an afternoon catching waves, the only limits are those we give ourselves.
FAQ

Where are you based and will you travel?

I am based near Topsham, ME, and am willing to travel. I grew up in Maine so I know the good locations, and I'm constantly learning of more exciting places to explore.

When do we receive our artwork?

Lab processing varies depending on the season and your specific artwork. I double check every piece for quality before delivering it to my client. If it's not right, I'll send it back to the lab for correction. I typically deliver artwork within 2-3 weeks of the ordering appointment.
