Embodied Grace: Headshots with the Inspiring Dana Marks

“I recently had actor headshots and photos done with 5200 and I had the most invigorating session with Katrina. I tend to feel inauthentic during headshot sessions. My goal was to have these shots reflect exactly who I am and how I actually look and feel. Katrina is a very special human being: full of acceptance, compassion, and curiosity. Her enthusiasm about you helps create an environment where you feel absolutely like yourself. I felt confident and beautiful. Thank you Katrina!”

-Dana

Capturing Dana Marks in my studio was an experience I won’t forget. Dana, a powerhouse of talent as an actress, teacher, director, singer, musician, and Pilates instructor, radiates ease and presence. Her embodiment of grace and strength shines through in every frame.

On a personal note, Dana’s guidance in Pilates has profoundly impacted me, helping me reclaim core strength and reconnect with my body after becoming a mother. More than a teacher, she’s a beacon of inspiration and friendship, reminding me daily of the power of living fully in one’s body. These images reflect the peace, confidence, and light she carries into every space she enters.
