Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with. I walked away from the session feeling very happy about the headshots we took. I appreciated that Mark asked about my intentions and visions about what I wanted out of the session and it became so collaborative. It was a room where we were experimenting together for the right kind of tone to capture who I was as an actor/artist; and I was very pleased about the final shots! It was fun chatting with Mark through the session - it was relaxed and easy-going but he gave me solid direction when I needed it. Also, I had asked Mark to indicate what his top picks

Mark's energy is unmatched from the moment you walk into his studio, it feels like you have known each other all your life. He possesses an incredible ability to draw out your focus and his charisma is contagious, making it hard to get a bad shot. Before this, I had very few images of myself that I really liked, and Mark gave me hundreds to choose from. Thank you Mark!

My headshot session with Mark was so relaxed and, most importantly fun! It's hard to find a photographer like him, who can pull you out of your shell to get an easeful shot that shows the most authentic you. I've already been recommending him to my friends - great value, great quality, and lovely human!

Hands down the best Ive ever felt about a headshot session! Mark immediately makes you feel comfortable and confident and brings out your best. I also cant say enough about Vanessa, the hair and makeup artist. She really brought together each look for me. I highly recommend Binks Headshots. I am so happy with my new photos!

I cannot recommend Mark highly enough. I had seen his work on instagram and booked my 4 year old in for some shots. My son was a bit shy in front of the camera to start with - hands in pockets, head down and a very serious look on his face. But within minutes, Mark had him giggling and brought him out his shell. By the third outfit he was loving it and even asked when he could go back and have more photos taken! We love the photos so much and are planning to bring our 11year old in. Thanks Mark for some beautiful photos that really captured our son's cheeky side.

Mark was recommended by an acting studio to me. Upon viewing his amazing portfolio, I had to reach out. He was very responsive and detailed, accommodating my schedule and also hiring the makeup artist. When I arrived, we discussed the vision I had for the shoot and he was so great with recommendations and just understood what I wanted. Both him and Taylor (makeup artist) worked together with me, meticulously focusing on every detail to make the shoot perfect. They really went above and beyond. Not only was the photo session fun, but I felt SO comfortable during the entire session. I received

Are there only 5 stars here? It doesn't seem enough to rate Mark's work. He's a remarkable photographer and a very kind person. I only met him once for my photoshoot and as soon as we said Hello! I felt at easy. His studio is well equipped, and he even had a steamer to make sure my clothes were impeccable. We were cracking jokes shortly after our session started, he also acted as a hair stylist for the day because my hair was acting out. It didn't feel rushed and he really ensured we had everything I needed in terms of photos and looks. His rates are very competitive, and his headshots are some
