"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."

"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."

"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 headshot,s 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.

"You have an amazing way of capturing what we see in ourselves. Your approach makes someone feel comfortable and relaxed. You get to know us, you try to understand who we are and what we feel. I’d recommend you to ANYONE looking for a shoot."

I just need to take a moment and gush over what an amazing photographer Mika Martinez is!!
With Mika's stellar choice of location, gentle instructions, and genuinely pleasant personality, the shoot day was absolutely perfect. The photos came out exactly how I imagined them, but somehow also a million times better!

M. Martinez Photo has been awesome to work with. I needed a last-minute photographer for my brother's wedding, and with only 24 hours' notice, she was there to save the day! The photos were amazing. She managed to capture some perfect moments that we will all cherish forever. Somehow she always managed to be in exactly the right place for the perfect shot, without ever having seen the little garden where the ceremony was held ahead of time. Amazing photos and a real lifesaver.
