About Us

I (Mark) loved taking pictures since I was a kid (which was a long time ago at this point). I grew up with dogs, so of course they became my first models.

Time passed, I met my wonderful wife (Michelle), and my photography passion grew. It was when we decided to vacation in Hawaii that sparked the purchase of my first “real” digital camera. Hawaii was beautiful, and I’m so thankful we got to enjoy paradise! It was these photos from Hawaii that became part of my first photo exposition.

I shot my first wedding as a favor to a young couple at our church. The photos came out great, and I learned a lot about portrait photography in the process.

My skills and passion continued to grow, and my family, friends and pets (including fish) became my new models. I also fell in love with macro, flower, and nature shooting. And experimenting with photo editing gave me the chance to produce some unique photo projects.

I started shooting portraits and events professionally in 2019. While I very much enjoy people and pet portraits, action shots are my latest challenge. As a result, you may notice a number of kids running and playing, cars and karts racing, dogs sprinting, and birds and bees flying in my photos.

In 2019, thanks to some peer pressure from some photography friends, I entered the Maryland State Fair photography contest. And I won 3 awards (Candid Portrait, Pet, and Action categories) out of 5 entries! And in 2021, I won 3 more awards (Bugs, B&W Landscapes, B&W Animals categories)! 

Since 2019, I have also been serving as an official photographer at United Karting.  It is a fun challenge capturing racing images as some of these karts can hit 75mph+!

I continue to learn and grow with my photography skills.

I look forward to meeting new people and creating lasting memories!
