Above photo by Michele--What's that old saying about when you find yourself up to your _ _ _ in aligators, it's difficult to remember your goal was to drain the swamp....
Writing on and on about me really isn't the goal here. My goal is to demonstrate a purpose for being a part of this networking site, and show you that I can take the kind of images you need in your portfolio. You might begin by just reviewing my portfolio to see if my style fits with your vision.
My photographs demonstrate that I’m an experienced, qualified, professional photographer. They also exhibit a “style”, and the types of images that I like to produce. If you like what you see and we can arrange a session, some really exciting things can happen.
Producing a high quality, creative image is only partly based on my experience and effort. It is a collaboration between the photographer, the model, sometimes a hair and make-up stylist, and even a wardrobe expert. It’s the result of good planning, excellent cooperation and expert execution. If you desire these kinds of images, we should start the process by getting acquainted, and setting up some goals.
Not everyone wants to put so much effort into goal setting, etc. Some of you just want to have some fun and see how you look as the result of participating in a real photo session. Knowing that going into the session is important. I’ll be glad to discuss doing either the “serious model shoot”, or the “I just want to have fun” session.
I am willing to offer very limited, select trade sessions as we move into 2009. I honestly love helping create new portfolios for those just starting out, and helping revive those who may need a new look. If your project requires more extensive efforts and post production work, I have some very reasonable rates to consider
So bring your wild and crazy ideas, or your traditional, classic styles and let’s enjoy establishing new friendships and making “killer” images together.
I invite you to examine my work, talk to my friends and associates—and when you’re ready to have some fun and get creative, send me a message so we can get started.

It's one thing to talk about yourself. It's quite another to find out what your clients think of you. Here's a referral style letter received recently from my friend Amber:

About a year ago, I had the privilege of meeting a new friend, Mark Behrens. Mark was presenting photography workshops and since I believe so wholeheartedly in education, I joined forces with Mark to help him in his efforts. So, if you're a photographer (at any ability level) and want to network, share your techniques, and learn some new things as well--check out Mark's web site at:

And, if you're a model looking to expand your experience, perfect your portfolio, network and have a ton of fun, we'd love to talk to you about modeling in our workshops. Send me a message, visit the web site and let's get started with planning your next step.
Here are some shots from our recent workshop in Sacramento and Laughs Unlimited and on the waterfront.
