Howdy Y'all, I'm Mark
I am an adventurer at heart. The photographer bug caught me after my freshman year of high school. I went to work in Alaska with my Dad that summer and thought it would be a good idea to bring a camera along to photograph the scenery. Since then, photography has taken me on many incredible adventures. Now I am here to capture yours.
Fun Facts About Me
Fun Facts About Me
Movies, film, and visual storytelling are a constant source of inspiration for me. When I watch a film, I can’t help but study the composition and color grading of each scene. Westworld, The White Lotus, Stranger Things, and Severance are all my current favs.
01 Behind the Camera
I fly airplanes. I earned my private pilot’s license before graduating high school and have logged around 250 hours of flight time. One of my longest solo flights took me from Traverse City to Houghton in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. When the weather cooperates and I have a little free time, you’ll usually find me in the air.
02 Off-duty me
Golden hour light, a spontaneous trip for photos, pumpkin cream cold brews, iced brown sugar shaken espressos, and bringing your pet along to a session.
03 Things I'll never say no to
When I’m not taking photos, I work as an aerospace systems engineer, designing and testing avionics for aircraft. Being a pilot myself, contributing to aviation safety is especially meaningful to me. I know how nerve-racking flying can be for some people, and anything I can do to help create a safer, more enjoyable experience is something I care deeply about. The joy of flight should be shared with everyone.
04 My other hat
Aliens. Yes, I believe they are real and out there. I once took an astronomy class in college and learned that there are more galaxies and stars in the universe than grains of sand on Earth. How could extraterrestrial life not exist? If you would like 10% off your session, include “Aliens are so cool” in the contact form.
05 Obsessed With
I really want to visit so many places. Top picks include Japan, South Korea, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, and Greece

My Values
Love is love, and every story deserves to be celebrated. I’m obsessed with quality, capturing images that look as amazing as the memories feel. The best photos happen when we click. When we’re both relaxed, laughing, and in sync, adventure takes over and the magic happens.
LOVE IS LOVE
All love deserves to be celebrated. Everyone is welcome here. Whether you are with a partner or celebrating yourself, self-love is just as important.
QUALITY &
CONNECTION
The best photos happen when we truly connect. Quality is my top priority, and I hand-touch every single image to make sure it’s crafted just for you.
ADVENTURE
Every session is an adventure, and having fun is just as important as capturing beautiful images. I love exploring, laughing, and finding moments that are bold, real, and unforgettable.
