Biography

Mark and his wife live in New York City with their son Grayson and their three dogs Samantha, Wiley and Oliver.

Striking the balance between being in the moment and anticipating several steps ahead is what keeps me focused on delivering images that not only tell a story, but capture a feeling everyone can relate to.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

-Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple and Pixar Animation Studios

Working with so many organizations and individuals over the years, it's often very easy to transition from one project to the next without looking back. I find that by following up briefly with each client, you gain much more than just feedback. It's an opportunity to ensure that the journey you are on is heading in the right direction. I am truly blessed to be able to do what I love and share my gift of photography with others.

"Working with Mark is a pleasure: He's the ultimate professional who is easy-going, knowledgeable, and patient.  He worked with my 15+ yr. old dog as if they knew each other their whole lives and came up with creative alternatives to capture her attention.  I now have beautiful photos that I will cherish forever.  If someone can work that well with a senior dog, just think what he can do with your event, party, or children!!"
