Mark Chaffer is a Strongman, and he won the 2018 America's Strongest Disabled Strongman!! He was ready to do something nice for himself - to get professional portraits, for personal use. Maybe one day we will take some in-action lifting shots too, but this session was awesome and I loved learning more about his passion. A note from Mark about high...

This past weekend, Adam (of Digital Consulting LLC) and I headed over to Taneytown Dance Center to execute a concept for Miss Kim's promo video.
