our mission is to transform you to:
embrace, empower, & be glorious
"At first I resisted, saying it was extravagant and unnecessary, but the more I talked to Mark and saw his work I realized it was a fantastic opportunity. We shot a mix of boudoir, sexy and sporty poses and once I saw the completed album, my confidence soared! I was a huge fan from that point on. Do this now for yourself or a loved one. You will never stop enjoying the results!"

what can you expect?
we'll let our clients answer that...
from baggy sweats to confidence
"It turns out my presented bravado is really inside too, Mark showed me that. I literally went from terrified in baggy sweats to confidence in not much else. Being photographed unnerves me, I don’t even look in mirrors. This experience changed all that."
Kenisha M.
Nude but Elegant
"Are you sure this is me? It is so elegant, It is nude but so elegant. I love it. It is so worth it. It’s even better than my first time, this is my favorite."
Renilda F.
The Day was Empowering
"I am in awe, just blown away. The day was empowering, I saw a side of myself I never imagined! You have to do this!"
Allison O.
I did this for me
"I will have wall prints all over my house. All my fav parts are highlighted. I have some girlfriends excited to see these and have their time. I did this for myself, It is intended for have me feel better about myself. Once we started, I didn’t even notice I was naked. I was so proud of myself."
Alison M.
"This is not about the picture. It's about the power you feel and the good that you feel about yourself. I'm 50. I have two kids. I don't have a ' model body,’ but I look great. And I feel great. I believe I owe that to Mark."

The Advantages of a safe male photographer with a female team
Psychologist, Dr. Bonnie Sullivan discovered that women feel substantially more empowered and confident after a session with a safe male photographer.
advantage 1
With a Safe Male Photographer, the male/female dynamic kicks in, opening up her creativity. This dynamic pulls out a woman’s rich feminity. Her look into the camera becomes more authentically sensual, playful, and flirty, all while brimming with confidence.
advantage 2
There is incredible power in being safe and totally in control of a situation. Like when you are intentionally and openly being personally expressive with a male photographer. It is an experience that alters and grows your sense of personal power and confidence.
advantage 3
“The authentic warmth in Mark’s voice encourages a woman to respond with confidence. Allowing her to express herself freely, even boldly.”
