What photographers have to say…

  • Mark Kline, Mark Kline Photography

    Mara is always a pleasure to work with. We have made something out of nothing on shoots. Ideas go back and forth easily and come out as an image that we didn't expect but yet is some of the best work. Our planned shoots go very smoothly and have gotten plenty of attention from the model/photographer community. The images coming from those shoots have also been published and featured several times! I always enjoy Mara in front of the camera!!!

    Description goes hereI have worked with Mara (Priminaballerina) several times in different studio and outdoor settings -- always with wonderful results. She is a master at using her ballet training to create beautiful flowing poses that capture a sense of motion perfectly, regardless of the setting. In addition she is very professional in her work and attention to detail; her communication before and during a shoot are second to none. Everyone of my shoots with her has been a very pleasant and productive experience.

  • Adam Dudgeon, Impression Images

    Mara did a spectacular job capturing the energy and emotion of our shoot. Additionally her exceptional athletic ability lended vital expertise which was so greatly appreciated. The end result were images that are some of the finest in my legacy of work.

  • Rusty Warner, ClearOne Photography

    It was an honor shooting with Mara, shes has a unique gift of fitting any concept and adding her personal 110% to it. Her dancing and posing abilities make her more valuable then other models. If you have the opportunity to spend some time photographing her I strongly recommend it, you will not be let down.

  • Werner Lobert

    Each time I am more and more impressed by the poses that she gives me. Ballet dancers who model are hard to find in this area. But besides being able to do ballet looks and poses she can also give regular poses. I very highly recommend working with her, you will not be disappointed.

  • Matt Giordano, Geo's Eye

    I really enjoy collaborating with Mara. We've worked on a variety of looks and themes, and have created so many fantastic images. She also has many creative ideas that are fun to help bring to reality whether it's a fashion shot in downtown Columbus or a new rope look in the studio. She's an absolute professional and awesome to work with! Highly highly recommend booking her for a shoot!

  • Jason Frazee, Frazee's Photostash

    She is very professional, and for a photographer like me who likes to do concepts, she stays in touch, shows up on time is very fun to create with. Can't wait for our future projects together.

  • Jonathan Neil

    Mara was great to work with - she came prepared, and literally bent over backwards to get the shot needed.

  • Rick Deering

    Mara is in a class by herself. A complete professional in every sense of the word. She brings incredible energy and adapts into the concept of the shoot. My session with Mara resulted in 2 international magazine publications. She brought my visions to life.

  • Larry Renner

    I absolutely loved getting to shoot with Mara…such a gift. She is simply extraordinary to work with…truth is truth.

  • Mx. Gay Photography

    Working with Mara is an absolute pleasure. An exceptional model who can create looks and poses that are truly unique; however, more importantly a creative who brings her own vision and touch to any and every project. Mara is recommended with the highest regards.

  • John Ford

    It was an absolute pleasure working with Mara, and I highly recommend her! She showed up to her session early, and was ready to get started as soon as she stepped into the studio. Mara came with a ton of experience, outfits, and conducted herself very professionally. You won't be disappointed!

  • Eric Arnold, Captured Light Studios

    Mara is absolutely amazing to work with. I'm not saying this because of her natural beauty, talent with dance, or extraordinary personality. Those are all bonuses. I'm referring to her professionalism and understanding of the fundamental role of what it takes to be a model. A model is much more than a pretty face or someone that stands a certain way. In reality, a model is an individual who actively participates in developing and creating the photographer's vision, even when the photographer isn't quite sure of the specifics. They are the unsung heroes that do what they can to help make a photographic concept come to life.

    Art modeling in snow, rain, and freezing water? It may not be fun, but they accept their role and do it anyway. Doing the same jump over and over while every little detail is worked out? They're up for the challenge. Holding awkward poses for extended periods? No problem. Changing body positions and facial expressions constantly? All in a day's work. Giving suggestions and input on wardrobe, poses, shots, unique talents, and more when discussing concepts or when asked during the shoot? Yes, please. Showing up a bit early, so they are ready to work when the shoot is scheduled to begin? This is what being a professional is all about. All of this and more is what Mara brings to the table!

    Regardless of the photographer's skill level, Mara is one of those special models that can work with everyone. She's a perfect model for someone just starting and can help guide the shoot to make it successful. For more experienced photographers, she can offer the "traditional" dance shots, standard modeling poses, along with some more unique and challenging concepts. Want something a little (or a lot) different? She's got that covered as well. Treat her as the professional she is, and she'll do everything in her power to make sure you aren't disappointed.
