Marti Newkirk
Master Photographer, Craftsman, Certified Professional Photographer
Hi, I’m Marti Newkirk and welcome you to my site. I love to create beautiful images. While you’re here, have a look around the site and see some examples of my work and what my version of “beautiful” looks like. My specialty is photographing people – portraits and boudoir. I would love to help you create something beautiful.
So, who am I? I am a wife to the love of my life, mother of an amazing grown up and Mimi to a few little pumpkins. We are enjoying discovering our new location and all of the wonderful areas, restaurants and parks the Greensboro area has to offer. Coffee in the morning and tea in the evening makes me a happy photographer. An occasional glass of sangria makes me a very happy photographer.
When I started my photography business, one of the first orders of business was to join the professional associations for the industry. Each of the organizations I joined welcomed me with open arms. They have offered guidance and resources of information I couldn’t have found otherwise. These organizations exist for the betterment of their members and I can honestly say, I am a much better photographer for having joined them.
