Hi, I’m Esmeralda Dias—but most people call me Essy.
I’m a portrait photographer based in Stoneham, MA, with over a decade of experience capturing life through the lens. What began as photographing events and headshots has slowly grown into something deeper: a desire to tell meaningful stories through images filled with warmth, beauty, and light.
Rooted in my Azorean heritage and nourished by my Catholic faith, I see photography as more than just a business—it’s a quiet ministry of presence. Whether I’m creating a timeless headshot, documenting a milestone, or capturing the sacred simplicity of everyday life, my hope is that you feel seen and celebrated in every frame.
These days, I’m especially drawn to portraits that speak to legacy—images meant to be printed, cherished, and passed down. If you’re looking for photographs that reflect not just what you look like, but who you are, I’d be honored to work with you.
Let’s create something meaningful together.
