Growing up, I watched my parents run our family-owned Czech restaurant in the suburbs of Chicago. At an early age, I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur just like my parents but I wasn't exactly sure how I would do that. Our family moved to Colorado while I was in middle school and it was around that time that I started to pick up my dad's camera more and more. Whenever we took a family road trip, he would always give me one of his old cameras and let me shoot as long as I wanted. That love for landscape photography eventually turned into a love for portrait photography. It wasn't until I was three years into college that I started to consider a career path in photography. That childhood dream of becoming an entrepreneur one day like my parents started to become a reality. I started an Instagram, created a website, and learned as much as I could, and before I knew it, I had people asking me to photograph their weddings. 

I am so grateful that I found a career path that I love. I wake up every morning excited to go to work and capture those milestones & special moments! 

I'm so glad you're here!

I'm Markie! Just your typical Chicagoan, Coloradan & Czech girl. I had a love for photography that turned into a dream career and  I have been loving every minute of it since!
