Photographer and Owner of Legacy

Hi, pleased to meet you!  My name is Mark Lazarz and portrait photography is my passion.  I am married to Marilyn and we have 2 children and 4 grandchildren so I know a little something about photographing various age groups.  I've learned over the years that you cannot rush a portrait session, that instead you must wait for the photograph to emerge out of dialog with the client and the comfort level between the photographer and his subjects.  This is especially true of children and that is why I will not charge for a second sitting if the child is uncooperative during our initial session.

Oftentimes, a client has a vague idea of his or her portrait but they want "something nice".  I look at this as an opportunity to assist the client by suggesting clothing, location, time of day and how the session unfolds.  It's not a time slot, but rather a getting to know each other session.  When the session is over, we each will have gained new friends.  This is how beautiful portraits are made because a comfort level with each other is critical to success.

When you are looking for a portrait photographer, please give me an opportunity to serve you.  I will do my very best to give you a lasting treasure that will indeed become part of your Legacy.
