Marcus Badgley lives in Stanwood, Washington with his wife, Kelly, and their dogs Bruno and Tiffany. He’s passionate about photography, design, painting, cooking, hiking and traveling.

Having rediscovered photography after a thirty five year picture-taking hiatus, he is now focused on documenting the people and places around him with a positive perspective.

While at the Skagit Valley College redesigning the college website from the ground up he needed fresh new photographic content for the all new page banners. From there he embarked on a 5-year odyssey as the de facto college photographer, creating memorable images for all of the college’s print and digital marketing needs. It was at the Skagit Valley College that he developed his candid style of photographing people focusing on creating their hopes and dreams.

Marcus loves getting into nature and discovering the natural beauty of the Washington state from the Cascades and Olympic Penninsula to the drier, and less travelled, eastern part of the state—and, of course, the world at large.

In 2011 he walked the Camino de Santiago with his, then 15 year old, daughter. He’s currently planning another Camino walk in the next few years as well as adventures near and far.

Bucket list destinations include France, Spain, Italy, Iceland, Morroco, Costa Rica, Scotland, and the Czech Republic.
