Mark’s Signature Legacy Portraits are noted for their focus on the eyes of his subjects and their soulful qualities. These head and shoulders images are a timeless interpretation of the optical characteristics of the nineteenth and early twentieth century photographs.
Mark’s Classic Legacy Portraits are the full length portraits that continue the Modern American Mid-Century portrait style best exemplified by the elegant minimalism of Irving Penn, and continues to resonate today in portraitists such as Annie Leibovitz. Mark’s take on this timeless style emphasizes contrasting the light and dark elements of the frame to bring out the faces and features of his subjects.

“Thinking about having a formal family portrait done with 3 small children causes a bit of anxiety (ok, more than a bit). The minute we walked into Mark's studio, we were completely put at ease. Mark and his team were the utmost professionals.
My husband and I were able to sit and relax while Mark photographed our 3 children. When it was time for the family portrait, they made it fun and easy. The photographs are AMAZING! Somehow, Mark was able to catch each child's personality. We will cherish them always.”
— Kate C.
“Thank you for a wonderful family portrait experience. You instantly put us at ease and made us feel fabulous.”

“When Mark met my 1 year old for the first time, he got down on the floor, eye level with her and talked to her very calmly. It's not a rushed or quick photo shoot so I think that helped my kids (and me!) to not feel stressed.
My older child looked forward to going because she remembered it from last time.I love how different it is from other types of family photography and how true he is to his artistic point of view.”
— Rebecca M.
“When our photos were done, well, there are no words. A mother just dreams for one good family photo. Every portrait was breath-taking. I cried. Those portraits are more than I could have ever dreamed of.
