Marty did a wonderful job this past year on my youngest daughter's prom and senior pictures. She is a good friend of his step-daughter and we have seen his work throughout the past several years. A montage he put together was beautiful and definitely one that we will enjoy forever.
This summer he attended my older daughter's wedding and took pictures throughout the event. He later shared them with us. His work outshined the photographer she had hired.
He definitely has a special talent for capturing the moment! His approach to photography is like an artist painting a picture with a camera instead of a brush. He takes into account the entire picture...everything around the person...colors, background, angles, balance.
Marty enjoys what he is doing and will put you at ease. I highly recommend him....you won't be disappointed!

When we connected with Marty about doing a shoot in our home, we had a very specific concept in mind. After thoughtful discussion and conversation, Marty embarked on a photographic journey that was precisely what we'd ordered.
He was able to capture my husband and I in what we felt to be a very natural, biographic manner. We were thrilled with both the process and the product and hope to work with him again in the near future.

I commissioned Marty to do a series of sexy photographs for a Naval Officer who'd caught my attention. He came to my art studio and took some absolutely amazing photographs.
I have to be honest--Marty gave me what I asked for, but not what I expected.
I told him I wanted sexy.
In my head I guess I was thinking "pretty" but sexy was what I got.
You can trust Marty's eye.
The Naval Officer is now my husband.

Marty and Make Studio has a profound way of bringing to light the side of you that you want everyone to see, but don't know how to show. I've known Marty Coleman for several years and he has gone out of his way to make me feel comfortable, creative and free to express myself.
His perspective is extremely artistic and unlike most studios I've dealt with in the past. His professionalism is parmount in making his subjects feel comfortable and at ease. I've enjoyed the way he has drawn me out of my shell and has allowed me to express who I am. His eye really has captured more facets of personality and it has been such a joy to see the completion of his work.
In some ways its different to describe, but he not only brings out the best in the surface of oneself, but in the candid shots he allows you a glimpse of the soul. Each time I've worked with Marty I've learned something new and have enjoyed our sessions over the years. Professional, relaxed, candid and natural, that's how I describe our work, pure pleasure.

Hey Marty!
...Thank you for such wonderful work. The portrait shots look great! I can certainly see how the setup in his study was a challenge. Looks like there was a lot of stuff to work around.
...Again, thanks so much for your flexibility and willingness to work with us!

Hi Marty! You're awesome! They turned out great. Even 'T' thought so and she usually gripes about her photos. We had fun yesterday, 'T' thought you were cool. :-)
...I wanted to let you know that we took her head shots to a meeting on monday night. These were some "big wig" people in the pageant world I guess. They all LOVED her head shots and said they were VERY good! So, you did good Marty! Of course, we already knew that.
