Alberta's Professional Photographer (Headshots & Commercial)
Elevate your professional image with one of Alberta’s top headshot photographers, offering tailored sessions that capture your unique personality.
Hey, I’m Marcus. It’s great to meet you!
I’m a headshot and portrait photographer who loves helping people feel comfortable and confident during their photo sessions. Running a photography business is what fuels me. ☺️
I’m Comparing My Options: What Makes A Successful Professional Photographer?
First things first - it’s not about the gear or the sample gallery that you see on our websites or social media. It’s crucial that you feel a connection with your photographer beyond just the ‘pretty pictures’.
My wife and I have a “professional photographer horror story” from when we eloped in Banff National Park. We paid a lot of money for a photographer whose work “looked amazing”, but when it came to the actual experience of being photographed, that person made us feel insecure and stupid for not knowing how to pose or how to ‘look good’.
We aren’t professional models and felt so awkward on the most important day of our lives!
Worst of all, my wife cried when the final gallery was delivered… And it was not “tears of joy”.
Look, my job as a professional photographer is to make sure this never happens to you.
My entire purpose is to make your life easier before, during, and after your photography session.
I’ve run businesses since 2013, and my longevity and success come from being customer-focused.
Everything from ‘how to easily book’, to how I make you feel comfortable and confident when standing in front of my camera, to getting your final images is a breeze.
I have a tried and tested process that will make it easy to showcase your best facial expressions, oozing with confidence and approachability, regardless of how you feel about getting your photograph taken. Even if it’s your first time working with a professional photographer. 😊
“What an incredible experience.”
I had such a great experience! Marcus made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and knew exactly how to bring out my best angles. Super knowledgeable and professional while keeping the whole session fun and easy. Highly recommend! 📸
