Mothers & Daughters

Mark Youngblood


Everybody has a story…


Mark started with a high school graduation gift of a camera. He had every intention of going to college to study engineering, but his new camera gave him a new passion. Changing his major to Art, Mark studied at Shepherd University with a focus on Photography. After college, Mark worked for various publications as a freelance or staff photographer, following dirt track racing and NASCAR, until opening his own studio full time.


As a photography teacher at Barbara Ingram School for the Arts since its opening, Mark shares his love and knowledge of photography. Mark loves teaching his students to use film and to process their own photos. Watching them create their own art is the true gift.


Mark decided early on he wanted to stand out from the rest and wants the same for you; your pictures – your way!

Mothers deserve a one-of a kind hand crafted gift, 

made by local artists.
