About our Artistry

The question we most often hear from our clients is "how do you create such beautiful images." The answer is simply stated, "experience."

At Mark's you can expect your final portraits to be exceptional, with flawless retouching, lustrous skin tones and brilliant color. We specialize in contemporary lifestyle and classic photography. All of our portrait products receive the same attention to detail, from children, to seniors, to weddings. We are committed to producing our very best; something our clients treasure and trust.

Senior Sessions

We are currently booking senior sessions for the class of 2011. Promotional offers can be viewed from our blog and facebook pages. The studio offers a convenient payment plan and flexible ordering and delivery options. Most of our seniors are looking for a unique experience and "something different." Because most of them travel to take advantage of our artistry, we strive to make the session and ordering process as simple as possible.

A deposit of $100 is required to hold a session date; this deposit is applied to the portrait order. The session fee of $39 per outfit is required on the session day. Custom enhancements from 8-10 images are pre-designed and included in the preview set for $39. Seniors have the option of ordering at the studio from a sales viewing (usually 7-10 days after the session), or the studio will create a preview book and slideshow for seniors to take home with a deposit of $150. Preview book orders are requested within 5 days to ensure discount package pricing. Balance of orders is due before delivery or shipping.
