Family Portrait Locations

Mark Turner creates most of his family portraits on location. During your planning consultation he’ll help you choose a place that is important to you and is appropriate to your family’s lifestyle.

For some families, your home is the right place to be photographed — whether it’s inside around the fireplace, on the deck, or in the garden.

For other families, an outdoor location in beautiful Whatcom County is more appropriate. Perhaps it’s a favorite trail where you go for a walk together each Sunday afternoon, your favorite fishing hole, or the bench where you watch the sunset over the islands.

Active portraits can include bicycling, skiing or snowboarding, sailing, or any other favorite family pursuit.  Your imagination is the only limit!

If you’re drawing a blank, Mark will be happy to suggest locations during your initial consultation.
