SNEAK PEAK - Ali Essay - Kingwood High School Senior

2012-02-15T09:01:00.000-08:00

Here is just a sneak peak of Ali Essay's Senior Portraits! She was so sweet and wonderful to work with - not to mention that she is a beautiful young lady. We had to break the session up over 2 days because of the cold weather we had this week-end. Ali's Senior Portraits look fantastic and just wait until you see the rest! That Ali!!!

The Rinnan Family

2012-02-15T07:50:00.000-08:00

The Rinnan Family were fantastic to photograph. Although it was a beautiful day - it was COLD!!!! They braved the weather and really embraced the moment. I think we captured every possible combination of family members together. Here is just a peek of their Family Photoshoot out at Foster's Mill in Kingwood.

Kingwood High School - Mandy Jalbert

2012-02-06T12:13:00.000-08:00

We had the absolute pleasure of photographing Mandy from Kingwood High School this last weekend. We had a ball working with her. Pretty doesn't begin to describe her and that doesn't begin to describe what a wonderful person she is. We loved working with her and I am sure you will love her images, too!!!

Deer Park High School Senior - Audrey Bratcher

2012-01-27T14:50:00.000-08:00

Audrey comes to us from Deer Park High School. She is one of our Senior Model Reps. The moment we saw her - we knew she had to be a rep for us. She has the most amazing eyes. And the lashes are REAL. We had such a fantastic time taking Audrey's High School Senior Portraits. She is such a great young lady and I can't wait to see what she does with her life!!!

Kingwood High School Senior - Van Keeler

2012-01-27T13:51:00.000-08:00

Van is graduating for Kingwood High School this may. The Class of 2012 ROCKS. We had a fantastic time with Van for lots of reasons. First off...he's tons of fun. Secondly...he has lots of different interests. Third......WAIT...Forget about me talking about it. .....just see for your self. Van got some great Senior Portraits and we were so proud to capture them for him.

Kingwood High School Senior - Kelsey Bright

2012-01-27T13:40:00.000-08:00

Kelsey Bright is a High School Senior at Kingwood High School. Kelsey plays Soccer for the Kingwood Lady Mustangs. We have a ball working with her for her Senior Portraits. She wanted to break her portraits up over 2 days - one curly haired day and one straight hair day. The weather cooperated with us and we were able to get some great shots.

We went downtown Houston for one day of Senior Pictures and out to Mercer Arboretum for her second day of Senior Pictures. Congratulations on your Senior Year, Kelsey!!!

Kingwood High School Senior - Alex Kosich

2011-10-07T09:16:00.000-07:00

Alex is on of our Senior Representatives for the Class of 2012 at Kingwood High School. We went up to The Woodlands to take his pictures and we had a great time. Alex is such a personable guy and it was a blast getting to know him and take his Senior Pics! Thanks Alex!!!

Splendora High School Senior - Gloria

2011-10-01T06:20:00.000-07:00

Gloria is a super active student at Splendora High School. She is one of our Senior Reps and we love working with her. The camera LOVES her and she obviously loves being in front of the camera. We had a fantastic time (despite the rain the cut the first session short!). She was up for anything that we threw at her.

She loves Lady GaGa so I think that we are going to schedule another session where we can do a GAGA inspired shoot. I'll let you know how that one turns out!

The Fjeldsted Family

2011-08-14T08:18:00.000-07:00

The Fjeldsted Family - Sam, Owen and Luke were making their annual summer trip down to Texas from Canada and decided to have some portraits taken. Little did they know that Texas is especially HOT this year!

We braved the elements and headed out early one morning for some pictures. Owen and Luke were troopers and really had a ball (after some "bribing" for Burger King if they behaved). The results were great and I had a great time with everyone. See you next year!!! Thanks Guys!

Our Class of 2012 Senior Model Representatives

2011-08-10T08:07:00.000-07:00

Our 2012 Senior Model Reps came in for their first of 2 photoshoots last week and we had a fantastic time taking their Senior Pictures. We had 7 area high schools represented and these seniors were AWESOME! The first round of pics were taken at our studio but their individual session will be at the location of their choice. We have already heard of some great locations - downtown Houston, Galveston, The Woodlands, etc. We are so proud to take the Senior Pictures of all of these fantastics Seniors.

If you need Senior Pictures, reach out to one of the seniors in our own school and see how they can give you some fantastic offers to get great deals on your own senior pictures.

Daniel is a Comedy Hypnotist and he works the college circuit all around the country. He was looking for something different and since I was getting ready for our High School Senior Model Shoot tomorrow - I thought that this would be the perfect background. The images came out great! Thanks Daniel!!!

She is such a pretty young lady and we captured some great images with her.

More Headshots

2011-02-10T15:36:00.000-08:00

It seems like it's that time of the year for Corporate Headshots. I have a great time with it and I love to make them just a little bit more creative. I know you can't go crazy with corporate, but that doesn't mean it needs to be boring.

Anyway....this is Sarah and she is a mortgage banker with Patriot Bank in Houston. She is a beautiful lady and I had a great time. This is just a speak peek of her images. Thanks Sarah!

Headshots

2011-02-08T08:38:00.000-08:00

These were taken yesterday evening for a corporate client. We took the required shots and then decided to glam it up a bit! We had alot of fun!

Corporate Photography

2011-02-02T09:58:00.000-08:00

This is a few pics of over 6000 that we shot for a Corporate Client. They build power plants and oil refineries across the United States.

We have spun off the Corporate Photography business to "Corporate POV Photography" and this is one of our first efforts....3 states and 8 power plants. It was tons of fun and I learned so much!! Audree Garcia is my partner in this new venture

A Must See

2010-08-12T07:20:00.000-07:00

This video sponsored by Kodak is absolutely amazing. It perfectly defines what photography means to nearly everyone. It captures the essence of what being a photographer means to me. I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to watch it and think about the memories of your life and how pictures allow your family, friends, memories to Live Forever!

A busy July!

2010-08-03T13:56:00.001-07:00

Whew....July was a hectic month! Weddings, weddings and more weddings! Add it family portraits, maternity sessions, infant sessions, and all of the other regular stuff and July has officially kicked my rear end!

Here are some of my favorites from the past month. Enjoy!

Another High School Senior Shoot

2010-04-08T12:02:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we took Tyler out around Kingwood for some Senior Portraits. We did the usual ones back at the studio but these are some of the ones that we took around town. We went to the Harley Davidson Store, East End Park and Town Center. For the first part of the session, he brought his dog, Scarlett. Once we dropped her off at home, we continued on our journey around town. Here is a few of the pictures.

Spring is Here ...(I hope!)

2010-03-23T15:29:00.000-07:00

Well, it looks like Spring has finally sprung! It's been a long cold winter down here in Texas. I know people from other parts of the country think we are nuts for thinking its cold. But I don't care how you look at it....when it's 17 degrees....IT'S COLD!

Anyway...We had a great outdoor session yesterday with a great family. Here are a few pictures to highlight our session in the sun!

FREE PORTRAITS SESSIONS

2010-02-08T13:53:00.000-08:00

I just came back from a long weekend of photo shoots and I started to go thru my website (http://jonmarkstudio.com). Noticed the “Portrait” Section was a bit on the underrepresented side. Also have been toying with some different lighting techniques. I know, it’s cold outside, and the flowers aren’t in bloom. But, that is the kind of stuff that motivates me. How can we create a beautiful portrait outside in such conditions? A challenge.
We need to add some outside/location portraits to the site, so here’s the deal… if you call the studio between now and February 13th, and tell the office manager that you want one of our free portrait sessions, you get one. Here are the parameters:
You must sign a model release, and give permission to use images on our site.
You must follow our clothing consultation recommendations!
Each person or group gets 1 free 8×10 of their choice from the session, and a 50% discount on any other prints.
Deadline for photography session is Feb 24th.
Group may not be more than 6 individuals.
This offer is only good for the first 5 folks to reserve their dates.
Kingwood/Humble/Atascocita area venues only. Unless you have an incredible one that we can discuss.
Call us at 281-354-1051 to get your time
