Our wonderful subjects

Mark shot some family portraits for us at our property. He has a professional approach to achieve the best possible photographs while making everyone feel relaxed and natural looking in the surroundings. Clayfield Studio is owned and operated by Mark and I would not have any hesitations recommending his photography services.

Don in his shed. Don has been the subject of Mark's shoots since 2011. "Mark has the amazing ability to capture the perfect shot. We have been so very happy with the finished photos which will go on to become cherished family heirlooms of my 93 year old father."  Lindy O'Grady

Something a little different. This Tawny Frogmoutch was rescued by Mark and raised to adulthood. The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Mark's wife Debra and he came to her whenever she called him. Every afternoon he would return to the back deck and call out to Debra. This image plus some others were reproduced in a book on the birds.

Mark recently came to our cattle property and created some magic black and white portraits for us; really really lovely. And I recommend him highly.
