Esquire Photography

We are happy to announce, that this summer David Esquire will be giving a glimpse of what lies behind the curtain…

He is offering to a select number of people one-on-one training and mentoring workshops for those who are passionate about getting into the high stakes, fast paced world of wedding photography.

Unlike some of the workshops that provide trained models and completely unrealistic shooting conditions and situations, this one-on-one workshop will take place at a real, high-end wedding, with a real couple, and the real life events that make shooting weddings exciting.

The workshop will include; a pre-wedding meeting and portfolio review, a full day real wedding shoot, and a post-wedding photo review. Which David Esquire will give you a bottom line, hold nothing back comment & critique of your lighting, composition and overall emotion of your work.

David Esquire is limiting the number of participants to 4 for this year, so if you or someone you know is interested please contact us at your earliest convenience by sending an email to: info@esquirephotography.com or call us direct at 562.225.5915.

Have a super week – cheers!

Good day everyone! I wanted to let you know that in our spirit of paying it forward & giving it back, we have done something very special. We are proud to announce that we are members of the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation.

If you’re not familiar with the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation, let me share some information about them with you.

Pregnancy and birth are miraculous journeys. This amazing time of life is full of mystery, anticipation, joy, hope, and wonder. Feeling the powerful energy of birth and new life, watching as a new family is born unto each other. These things humble and amaze. These are the things that we celebrate when a baby is born.

But there is another aspect of pregnancy and birth. There is an unexpected place in this journey where some families may find themselves. When a baby dies, a world is turned upside down. There is confusion, sadness, fear, and uncertainty that cannot be explained. There is sorrow where there should have been joy. During this time, it might be impossible for families to know what they might need in order to heal in the future.

This is the place where the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart. For families overcome by grief and pain, the idea of photographing their baby may not immediately occur to them. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives.

The Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) administers a network of nearly 3,000 volunteer professional photographers in the United States and eight International countries. At a family’s request, a NILMDTS Affiliated Photographer will come to your hospital or hospice location and conduct a sensitive and private portrait session. The portraits are then professionally retouched and presented to the families on an archival DVD or CD that can be used to print portraits of their cherished baby.

Their entire network of affiliated professional photographers graciously donate their time and talents to our families and we are proud to be able to offer our services at no cost.

You can’t give enough back to this world & we hope that we’re an inspiration to other photographers out there that can take the gift of their craft to a higher level.

I hope you’re having a blessed week – cheers!
