review of boudoir studio in Calgary

"At first I resisted, saying it was extravagant and unnecessary, but the more I talked to Mark and saw his work I realized it was a fantastic opportunity. We shot a mix of poses and once I saw the completed album, my confidence soared! I was a huge fan from that point on. Do this now for yourself or a loved one. You will never stop enjoying the results!"

what can you expect?

we'll let our clients answer that...

from baggy sweats to confidence

Mark is very gifted at allowing you to feel comfortable in your own skin, by helping you remember the beauty that lies within, which is expressed through the images he captures. For many of us, we do not see what others see in ourselves and through this experience I went from not wanting to look at myself in the mirror to, let’s get these pictures on the wall!

Elegant

"Are you sure this is me? It is so elegant, I love it. It is so worth it. It’s even better than my first time, this is my favorite."

The Day was Empowering

"I am in awe, just blown away. The day was empowering, I saw a side of myself I never imagined! You have to do this!"

Allison O.

I did this for me

"I will have wall prints all over my house. All my fav parts are highlighted. I have some girlfriends excited to see these and have their time. I did this for myself, It is intended for have me feel better about myself. Once we started, I didn’t even notice I was naked. I was so proud of myself."

review of  studio in Calgary

"This is not about the picture. It's about the power you feel and the good that you feel about yourself. I'm 50. I have two kids. I don't have a 'model body,’ but I look great. And I feel great. I believe I owe that to Mark."

The Advantages of a safe male photographer with a female team

Psychologist, Dr. Bonnie Sullivan discovered that women feel substantially more empowered and confident after a session with a safe male photographer.

advantage 1

With a Safe Male Photographer, the male/female dynamic kicks in, opening up her creativity. This dynamic pulls out a woman’s rich feminity. Her look into the camera becomes more authentically sensual, playful, and flirty, all while brimming with confidence.

advantage 2

There is incredible power in being safe and totally in control of a situation. Like when you are intentionally and openly being personally expressive with a male photographer. It is an experience that alters and grows your sense of personal power and confidence.

advantage 3

“The authentic warmth in Mark’s voice encourages a woman to respond with confidence. Allowing her to express herself freely, even boldly.”

It’s Mark’s intuition and emotional presence with clients that makes the Inner Spirit Photography experience life-changing.

Mark offered the first photography studio in Calgary and remains the best. His imaginative portraits expand beyond the typical “lingerie and satin sheets”. Mark’s creatively passionate presentation of women has earned him the honour of being the most awarded photographer in his niche in Canada. Possibly North America.

It is common for his clients to be thrilled to have gained much more than breathtaking images. They discover a sense of reconnecting with themselves. And their images become reminders of their beauty, courage and resilience.

Be it for a fun adventure or a much deeper need, your experience with Mark will touch your soul while showcasing your breathtaking beauty, all through his talented skills.

He’s not alone, an incredible team of women, along with Jan, his partner and wife, makes your time with Mark exceptional.
