M.Martinez Photo
Hi! My name is Mika and I've been creating memories for nearly 19 years. I like to describe myself as a story driven photographer. Over the years I’ve captured everything from babies and families, to edgy boudoir, weddings and special events. I believe that the best photos occur, when you’re comfortable with the person behind the camera, so it’s important to me to create a connection with those I'm photographing to best tell their unique story.
A photo can say so much, what do you want yours to say?

""Having headshots done is such a different experience from other kinds of modeling. Usually I'm showing up in support of the artist/photographer's vision. But with headshots it's all about me. In a way, that feels a lot more vulnerable than even the nude or erotic shoots I do. Luckily, I know people like M.Martinez Photo who have a near psychic ability to not only understand what I'm going for, but to capture it."

"I am usually so uncomfortable and self conscious when I am being photographed. But we had a chat before and she really got to the root of what the photographs would be used for. It really helped me ground into the usefulness of the photographs and using them as a method of communication. She was able to make me comfortable and really captured what I was trying to convey. I am always so inspired to be in the presence of an artist."

"Mika is a very special creative visionary, very determined and focused on Melanated Peoples in ALL identities, bodies, and expressions being photography participants and models 💗!!! What you can't see in the photos is that (we) creatively collaborated, that we bonded together, and enjoyed every moment of this process. It was simply heart fulfilling and magical"
