There are a few comments I hear in photo sessions: Make me look good, don't get my bad side and wait I wasn't ready.  Hearing how people react when they are in front of the camera makes me realize everyone is concerned about their look.  What you need to be concerned with is how you portray your“look.” Your image is what many people see first when visiting your LinkedIn, Facebook, or website.  This image needs to be high quality and impactful.  An executive image is more than a headshot, it is your brand. It’s the first impression your clientele sees to understand who you are.  Let us help you with your brand and create that high impact image.  Our exclusive event is coming soon, call or email us today to schedule your branded executive image.

It’s August and many students are already back in school or gearing up with sports and activities.  Senior portraits are so important to focus on.  Giving the opportunity for a senior to shine, enjoy feeling special and creative is just the beginning to capturing these memories in a milestone in their life.

We at Marcus Holman Photography love to focus on what makes the senior different.  Their hobbies, activities and what makes them an individual will be seen in their images.  Life is short, being a senior only happens once.  Own it, make it the best most creative year yet.  Here are some of my favorite, unique senior portraits over the years. 

Wow, what a happy whirlwind this has been.  First, what an amazing day and the weather could not have been better.  We are beyond grateful for such a beautiful experience.  

From the beginning of the day and anticipation, ceremony, dancing, high kicks, jumping off stage, toasts and the send off, the love and support we experienced warmed our hearts and gave us even more gratitude of such a loving day.  Here are our highlights of #happilyeverholman

 

 

We will keep our celebrating going and hope this brings joy to your hearts.  

Cheers from Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Holman 

Being a father has been a joy to watch my kids grow and experience life.  It has also been a learning experience for me.  The joys and challenges have made me and continue to make me a better human.  From snuggles, bed time stories and tucking them in to waiting until they are late for curfew.  It’s all an amazing journey and I couldn't be more proud of my two, Tia and Cole. 

This Father’s day I want to focus on some of my favorite memories throughout the years with my father, my kids and many other fathers that deserve to be celebrated every day.  Cheers to us fellas; all the leadership, the learning experiences and the beauty of watching our kids grow

Experience, when it comes to travel, is technically what you can buy, you can’t actually buy memories. You make memories.  I always have my camera even on my personal vacations for this reason.  Imagery isn't just my profession but my passion as well.  Putting words into how I feel about something isn't my strong suit but you can feel my photography.  I took my daughter to Puerto Rico for her Christmas present this past January, the surf was great but the memories were even better.

I’ve been to PR before but it’s always different when you have others with you.  I’ve done a lot of traveling throughout the years and many  of my trips were surf related.  During this trip to PR, I was able to capture my daughter in some really cool images and some of my favorite people too.  

We stayed in Aguadilla with friends which is where the journey began.  I’m not a resort guy, but having Villa Montana next door was a huge plus.  A picture is worth a thousand words. So here are some of my favorite memories to tell the story.

The quality of equipment a professional uses cannot compare to a smartphone camera.    Different  lenses and knowing when and how to use them during times of day are critical in creating the perfect portrait. Think of painters and their brushes.  True artists know how to use their mediums to create the final work of art. 
 

It’s been said there are no small decisions in artwork and it’s even more applicable in photography. From the experience of where to photograph at what time of day to the smallest detail of a hand position.  Like all master craftsman making it look simple and easy  is the trademark of master or professional.
 

The attention to detail to capture your most trusted portrait is only given by a professional.  Learning about you and your family to convey personalities,  investing time in finding the perfect setting, the excitement you feel with your family all smiling and capturing memories, the lasting joy you feel every time you walk by your artwork in your home. You won’t have this experience and all the feels without a professional.
