Discover a version of yourself you didn’t know existed, with lighting and poses customized to you
Marc captures something most photographers miss: the way you carry yourself when you feel powerful, relaxed, and in control. Clients consistently say they’re surprised by what they see, because the photos look like the version of themselves they always hoped existed.
Achieve the exact look from your inspo, or brainstorm a personalized look with Marc
Bring your Pinterest boards, your saved Instagram posts, your magazine tears. Before your session even starts, Marc builds a creative plan around your vision: lighting, color palette, wardrobe direction, posing style. If you don’t have a vision yet, that’s fine too. He’ll craft one based on what you want to feel when you see the final photos.
Get dramatic, gel-lit portraits that make you look like you stepped out of a magazine editorial
This isn’t natural light at golden hour. Marc uses professional color gels, studio strobes, and controlled lighting setups to create images with depth, drama, and an editorial quality you won’t find at any other studio in Temple. The result: photos that stop people mid-scroll.
Look like a complete natural with painless posing direction by an expert of 15 years
You don’t need to know your angles or practice poses in the mirror beforehand. Marc directs you through every pose, every hand placement, every expression. Clients who walk in saying they’re terrible in front of cameras walk out saying it was the most fun they’ve had in a shoot.
