I needed new headshots and Martika was the ONLY photographer to actually call me rather than message and she was even on vacation! She was so friendly and accommodating from the start. She even worked with me when weather caused us to reschedule as I wanted some outdoor shots. She referred me to a fantastic hair and makeup professional and they both were amazing on the day of the shoot, offering guidance and putting me at ease. Martika's studio was comfortable and she uses all the latest technology, it's very impressive. She was quick to adapt when we moved outdoors. I am a Broker and REALTOR® and my personal image and brand is everything and I am so happy I found Martika and Brianna (makeup). My photos are of the highest quality and my absolute favorite I have ever had done. Thank you, Martika! Highly recommend to anyone!

I needed last minute head shots for a new role that I am starting. Fantastic headshots that I am proud to use on multiple platforms. Martika is warm, personable and works to make the experience meet your needs. Will definitely be hiring for all of my future photography needs!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  My pricing varies from type of job and depends on the number of final files required or the length of the shoot. I will probably not be the cheapest photographer in the group. I use Canon professional camera and lenses and top quality Profoto professional studio lighting. These are not inexpensive pieces of equipment. I am not a hobbyist. I have invested tens of thousands of dollars in my professional training and education. Additionally I have a backup camera in case of damage, theft or malfunction. I am also insured and I have a good online reputation. Sometimes in life you do get what you pay for.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  We chat by phone or if needed in person to discuss the job, agree on the scope of the shoot and pricing, verify it in writing and go from there!

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I have been shooting single lens reflex cameras since about 1979. I was on the yearbook staff in junior high, high school and in college. I shot for my university. Although I am largely self taught, I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America and the American Photographic Artists Associations. These are professioanl societies for photographers. i have attended their conference. I also attended Shutterfest each year and I have attenden courses at Calumet Photographic and Progear and Procam. I do online education as well. This year I have been studying with renown LA Photographer Kevin Michael Schmidt in Chicago and in LA and I have invested $8,000-$10,000 in education this year and I am continuing with Kevin as my mentor in the next year as well. I am one of his top students. In January and February, I spent a week in California meeting with Kevin several times. He presented my portfolio at a Canon event in Coasta Mesa in front of a group of 70 photographers. At this point I have invested more in my photographic education than I did for my legal education.
