A great photographer, from a guy's perspective

I'd like to give a big vote of confidence to Marissa's photography. As a guy, I often feel awkward having my photo taken, especially posed shots. Marissa made the entire process painless and dug out some absolutely amazing images of my entire family - including our young kids. We hired Marissa to take family portraits and her vibe was great, getting everyone to loosen up and be truly happy during the process. She never missed a special moment.

As a photographer myself, I'm often hypercritical of other photographers - from their gear, to their composition, to their attitudes, and beyond. Marissa brings the right equipment and a great demeanor, and frames shots incredibly well - a true professional.

It was money well spent to hire Marissa and I would do so again for any important event.

Best family portrait session ever!

We did a family portrait session with Marissa and it was so wonderful. I always feel so awkward with portraits, but she set us all at ease, even my squiggly 3.5 year old, and magically captured some beautiful photos of our family that I know we will treasure forever. She was so warm and had a relaxed vibe that made the entire experience feel seamless and comfortable. I’m telling all my engaged friends to hire her for their weddings!💛

Marissa is truly an artist and so easy to work with

Marissa is a truly gifted wedding photographer. She captured the most beautiful photos of my wedding and her energy is so calming, she was such a pleasure to work with. Her editing style is gorgeous - you can see it in all of her work. I was able to relax and really embrace the moments during our portraits, which I always have a hard time doing. I would work with Marissa again and again. I cannot recommend her enough!!
