LAKE NORMAN, NC • PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

SPORTS • SENIORS • GLAMOUR • MUSIC • HEADSHOTS • CREATIVE COMPOSITES

I’m Maq, photographer, creator, designer, and retoucher obsessed with bold, modern imagery that actually hits. Every session is crafted with intention and edge, using studio-quality lighting to create crisp, dynamic portraits that stand out whether we’re in the studio or on location.

From senior portraits, headshots, beauty and glam, fashion, fitness, and music photography to high-energy boutique volume sports photography for teams and organizations including gymnastics, cheer, dance, and youth athletics, we bring the same level of creativity, efficiency, and polish to every athlete and every individual. Big production quality. Streamlined process. Zero boring photos.

For photographers, I offer high-impact Photoshop templates and one-on-one mentorship focused on lighting, editing, and workflow to help you refine your craft and build a brand that looks as strong as your talent.

If you’re looking for modern, personality-driven portraits or you’re ready to level up your own photography, you’re in the right place.
