“Nothing makes me happier than
to have children playing, being themselves, while I capture their
spirit, their personalities, and their liveliness right in front
of me. It’s these moments, and the images created, that continue
to inspire me and my style of work.”
- Mark Brown

"Thank you for making our family photo shoot so much fun and so worry-free! And
the results are just amazing - - every shot was terrific. We really appreciate
the time you spent with us to select just the right ones and we love the beautiful,
artistic way you put it all together. We will have pieces that we will treasure
for a lifetime. We can't wait to have you capture the next phase in our family."

"I was extremely pleased with Mark's work. I brought the portraits of
our children home and my husband put them right up on our wall. The next
morning I saw them when I woke up and they gave me such a happy feeling.
It made the house we have lived in for a year and a half finally feel
like our HOME. Thanks!"
–Whitney Fershee, Chicago, IL
"My two-year-old son and daughter are still talking about Mark
Brown and it's been nearly a year since he took their photos! He was so
relaxed with my toddlers that they thought he was just a new friend coming
over to play. Before the shoot, Mark took a lot of time and care discussing
the locations and flavor of the images we wanted. After the shoot, he
presented his work in person in a fabulous slide show set to music."
–Heather Cabot, Los Angeles, CA
"Mark is a joy to work with. He photographed my first son at 6 months
of age when we lived in Chicago. We now live in Madison, WI and I have
driven back to Chicago twice now specifically to have Mark photograph
my other two sons....and we will definitely do it again! Mark creates
a very relaxed environment and makes the photo session a lot of fun. His
pictures always turn out great and are a focal point in our home."
–Karie Krantz, Madison, WI
"I discovered Mark Brown Photography with my oldest children 8
years ago. He captured toddler photos of them that I still love today.
Recently, our family was surprised with twin baby boys. We returned to
Mark for infant photos and a family portrait. This time juggling two small
babies proved to be much more challenging with my twin boys crying throughout
most of the photo shoot. I was sure we would have nothing to use from
it. Imagine my surprise when Mark presented me with many great photos
to choose from. I couldn't believe it was the same photo shoot! Mark has
an amazing talent for capturing beautiful images of your children that
you will cherish for years to come."
–Kris Criscione, Chicago, IL
"Mark's work is simply beautiful and timeless. He captured
expressions of my child that I will cherish forever. Mark and his staff
are so gracious, friendly...and patient (my son wasn't exactly in his
finest moods!) The most beautiful pictures in my house are from Mark Brown
Photography. I highly recommend Mark to all of my friends who are looking
for photos that they will appreciate for years to come."
–Lisa Souter, Chicago, IL
"I researched lots of photographers for my daughter's portraits,
and found none who accomplished a 'relationship portrait' as effectively
as you. Your work is unique--it captures the connection between people,
not just their images. Thank you for your work."
–Vanessa Griffin, Chicago IL
"Our entire experience with you surpassed our expectations, from
the initial sitting appointment, to the end product which is so precious.
We love our piece and it is now proudly and endearingly a part of our
new home. Thank you for capturing our family so honestly and in such a
charming way. It is unique on so many levels and you've done a beautiful
job of creating a historical piece, in the sense that you documented precious
moments in this very special time in our lives."
–Amy & Dan Schwartz, Chicago IL
