Christmas is here in the blink of an eye!

Absolutely frightening how quickly fall schools started and turned into Christmas! So many exciting clients and adorable children have been met during these short three months. Business was in a whirlwind and left no time to update the blog :(

Here are just a few of the great people Markow-Kent Photography was lucky to spend time with lately. We hope to see you soon!

Remember - a New Year brings new business and marketing opportunities.  Don't start a new campaign with the same old photograph! 

Start a new image with a new image! 

Call the studio at 602-264-6404 for information on how easy and affordable business publicity session are for your new venture.

Whether we take your photograph or not, Markow-Kent Photography can turn your image into a digital oil painting. Mounted and lacquered, a digital painting can be handed down from generation to generation without worry of paint damage. Multiple copies of digital paintings can be made to give as gifts - each one with the same beauty and quality.

By looking at the facial closeup, you can see the brushstrokes and warm softness that the paints provide. This is not a digital filter in Photoshop. The photograph is recreated stroke by stroke on a digital canvas.

Interested in this process? Give us a call. We would be thrilled to create a masterpiece just for you!

Summertime Smiles

Summer is a time when everyone here in Arizona is trying to escape the heat. This recent little visitor to the studio was so hot she had to lay down and rest a bit. Check out those eyes!

If you are interested in a summer session, remember that the best outdoor times are mornings before 8am and afternoons after 6pm. As a rule, the lighting here in the desert is better at those times. Of course, every location is different and you will want to watch your chosen location at those times and see how the light hits the surroundings. Obviously, going indoors like this young lady is always a good idea in the steamy valley summers. We can travel to your home or schedule a session for you in our studio. Feel free to call us at 602-264-6404 for information.

Summer is here!

First of all, thank you to the four souls who logged on and actually voted on the parents poll. Input from clients is always so important and sometimes only received when there is a problem. If the voters venture back - THANK YOU!!

Well, summer is here and we are getting ready for the upcoming fall school season. Creation of the new online proofing center and ordering system has been consuming quite a bit of the time here at the studio. Of course, there is always time for customers - especially when they are a adorable as this young lady who stopped by a week or so ago while on vacation with her Grandma. Although she happened to have a bright, pink cast on her arm, she was limber enough to let us hide the cast in many shots. Take a look at this beautiful girl!

No matter the time of year, we can help you make the most of any situation and we promise you won't have to break your arm to do it!

Coming Soon!

Hello! Is there anyone out there? This is a new feature for us on the web and we are excited to see what happens. Each week we will be featuring one of our favorite photographs from the archives and sharing it with our visitors. We will also be answering questions from clients, sharing upcoming events and providing feedback about FAQs about our services.


This week's photograph is a small montage of the "hams" from some of the Spring Shows we covered this year at a few of our favorite schools! Check back each week to see if you know the subject of our favorite photographs!
