Hi, my name is Martin. I really do like to take photos!

I will always do my best to take photos that you’ll enjoy! I will devote all my attention to getting “that great shot” during our time together. Your satisfaction is my goal.

Success is not measured by the size of a man’s wallet, but by how many times his belly jiggles while laughing
— unknown, but oh so smart!

I will often tell people I know and/or work with: IF YOU’RE NOT HAVING FUN AT WHAT YOU’RE DOING, WE’RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG - LET’S FIX THIS! I have fun taking photos, and will often have a giant smile on my face as I’m “working”.

I’ve tried to highlight photos on this site that show people laughing…so far, there’s been a lot of fun during photoshoots. I look forward to laughing and taking photos with you soon!

It all started when…

In Texas for college, when I fell in love with photography - I took this photo with my first camera. Back in the “film days” getting that one shot was a challenge for me. I cannot tell you how much money and time I spent on buying film, developing the film, standing in the rain, etc… This was my very first shot in a roll of 36. I took four rolls of film this day, and ONLY this shot had lightning.

Photography has changed for me since then, but the passion to capture that one shot still exists inside me! Each time I pick up the camera, aim and shoot, I’m hoping - did I get “the shot”?

 
I try to not take life so seriously… it's all about having fun!
