About McG

Rave Reviews

Mack and Chelsea McGowan. We were christened “McG” by one of our first clients, and it just kind of stuck.

We’re not perfect... as people, or as artists. We have body issues just like everyone else. But we’re confident in saying we’re really good at helping our clients get past those issues, and see themselves in the kind of powerful and beautiful light that we do.

Over 9 years of consistently positive client reviews continue to encourage us, and remind us that this is exactly what we’re supposed to be doing.

We are...

Time is fleeting...

What is Skin?

Our number one goal is to give our clients portraits that show who they are at the most elemental level... not just what they look like. Some of our clients choose to be photographed nude or nearly nude. We help others build incredible wardrobes that best reflect their lives & style. Ultimately, the result should be a captured moment that genuinely reflects the spirit of the subject.
It’s not just about sexy... although much of what you see trends in that direction. We’ve found that encouraging our clients to love themselves makes them feel powerful, and that sense of confidence is the sexiest thing in the world.
Regardless of age, shape, size, color or ability, the human body is an incredibly powerful thing. Our priority is to help our clients gain the confidence they need to fully celebrate their SKIN. Whether sexy or demure, bare skinned or dressed in full layers, we aim to show our subjects that who they are at the most elemental level... body & spirit... is fantastic artwork. 

Skin by McG isn't just about naked pictures...

It's about You.

Who you truly are on the inside is wrapped in a beautiful, brave, amazing SKIN--And you only have one.

Let us help you celebrate it.

I feel like me again

Where to start… I was so incredibly nervous on the drive, thinking there is no way I’m going to be able to pull this off. I just can’t, I don’t like my body. I like bits and pieces, but not the whole. There is just no way that is going to change. Boy was I wrong. I have found that confidence I lost so many years ago, just from yesterday’s shoot. I went out last night, dancing with my sister. She stopped me and asked where I came from. I can’t thank you enough for giving me that back. I finally feel like me again.

Completely in awe!

I’ve always seen myself as the funny friend who isn’t as pretty as other girls, but Over the past 9 months, my thought process has changed. After losing 60 lbs, I've started to see what my husband does, and I finally feel like I can call myself pretty, but I never thought I’d get to feel like Mack and Chelsea made me feel during my session. THANK YOU for being the encouragers that you are and for making my session even more amazing than I thought it could be!!

Never felt so sexy...

This body has been through 5 kids, multiple surgeries, and a lot of abuse. When a friend showed me McG and what they did for her I knew I had to do it. I was so nervous for 3 weeks out (wanted to vomit) but the morning of I was so calm. Chelsea and Mack put me at ease and had me laughing the whole time. They kept showing me sneak peeks and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Chelsea kept lovingly reminding me... this is all you girl we're just clicking a button. Thank you so much for the magic done here!

Thank You!

I FOUND MY SEXINESS; I FOUND MY “ME”. WHO I WAS, NOT WHO EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS OR SHOULD BE. I WAS BOLD AND VIBRANT, A LITTLE BETTY DAVIS, A LITTLE BEYONCE AND ALL ME, AND I COULDN’T WAIT TO SHOW THE WORLD!!! 
I TOOK THE WHOLE DAY OFF,  LISTENED TO CHICK MUSIC, DANCED IN MY PANTIES, DRANK WINE, DRESSED UP, LAUGHED AND SMILED MORE THAN I HAVE EVER IN MY LIFE AND I CRIED WHEN IT WAS OVER. 

A Life-changing Experience

This experience was beyond words. My husband and I left like we accomplished things that not many other people or couples have. We felt so intertwined, sexy, sultry and full of raw emotion. I didn’t once care about not hitting a number on a scale. Who knew I, mama of two who runs around like a chicken with her head cut off most days, can be SEXY?!
If you haven’t yet experienced the magic of SkinbyMcG...you’re missing out on a life changing experience. We cannot wait until they’re in a city near us again!! Chelsea and Mack, thank you for showing and sharing with us your spark and magic. Y’all are truly amazing!

Thank You,
Thank You!

I choose happiness!

Never in my life have I seen myself this way or felt more goddamn incredibly beautiful. And I’ve shot with these geniuses before—twice! This time, however...this was different. This shoot was a celebration of all things Jamie. Being happy, being free, finding myself, and loving who I am. Rough edges, resting bitch face, thick thighs, big ass, tatted up, and fucking big heart. This was the realization that I AM ENOUGH. I choose happiness. I choose to love myself. And it’s worth mentioning that when I saw these, I had literally nothing negative to say about them. I love my body and I love what this experience showed me.

Took my breath away

you guys gave us a whole new perspective on our sexuality and you helped us get to new level of love and intimacy in our relationship that I didn't even know existed. That whole weekend we were so in sync, and loving, and we had INCREDIBLE sex. We always have good sex, but this was like...insane. I think you helped us to look at each other with new eyes and we still fell in love with what we saw. You gave us such a great gift, not only physically with the photos, but emotionally with the experience.

I have never really loved the way I look. I'm very hard on myself and I have never really known how to take a compliment. Somehow, by the end of the shoot, you guys accomplished exactly what I think you meant to, and even more. The further we got into the day, the sexier I felt, and I feel like there are even a few pictures where I was in total model mode...

Something with Edge & Beauty

It took only a few short minutes to feel 100% comfortable with Chelsea and Mack. They make you feel so sexy and so relaxed in our own skin. Their excitement while capturing your beauty in your own skin must makes you feel like you are rocking it. 

We are all beautiful in our own skin in our own way and Mack and Chelsea know how to capture that at any season of life.

It took only a few short minutes to feel 100% comfortable with Chelsea and Mack. They make you feel so sexy and so relaxed in our own skin. It was unlike my first boudoir experience in that they showed you exactly what they were looking for. Seeing Mack pose like a woman in lingerie is quite entertaining and definitely lightens the mood. :) Their excitement while capturing your beauty in your own skin must makes you feel like you are rocking it. Some may think they are bragging on their own work but when they are excited about an EPIC shot they just got of ME....I want to hear it all day long.
