Capturing light, emotion, and every beautiful moment in between.


I'm a photographer who believes the best images are the ones that feel like you—authentic, emotive, and full of connection. Whether it's a giggle between siblings or a quiet glance between partners, I focus on preserving real moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

"Marissa is a joy to work with! I love the family photos she took for us. Somehow she managed to calm my nerves and still capture beautiful photographs of my high energy toddlers who would not stop moving. Marissa's kind, understanding energy helps the stress dissolve and the results are amazing. We will definitely be going to Marissa for future photos!"

"Marissa captured my family after we welcomed our second child into the world. So we had a two-month-old and an 18-month-old, and she did amazing with our kiddos! She had patience and was very understanding. The moments she captured were beyond amazing! I can’t wait until we can do it again. Thank you so much Marissa."

"I. Am. In. Love.  I can't believe Marissa was able to capture this much magic when the kids were pure chaos the entire time. She managed to capture the kids and their personalities SO well in such a short amount of time. I can't believe how well these pictures turned out. I am so thankful to have these memories."

"I had a maternity photo shoot with Marissa and it was like hanging out with an old friend the whole time! She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful throughout the entire shoot. I couldn't recommend her enough. We plan on hiring her again for family photos this fall after our newest addition has arrived."

"Marissa was so easy to coordinate with and was extremely helpful with suggestions on what to wear and places to go. I had never done professional photos and was quite nervous about posing and looking silly. Marissa is really kind and was a lot of fun to work with during the photo shoot. She captured some really sweet moments and I love how our photos turned out!"
