  • Marissa has taken photographs of my sweet little family for the last six years! It all started when my world fell apart. I'd been crying for hours prepping for family pictures for a family that was no longer whole. This moment in this picture will always be one of my very favorite things in the world! I don't know how she did it, but she was able to make me look flawless and feel extremely beautiful! She's taken first birthday pictures, family pictures, baby pictures, and in just a few short years she'll take graduation pictures! She's extremely patient and kind and very professional!- Nitosha R.

    "Marissa did such an incredible job with my headshots! She has the best energy and made me feel like a million bucks the whole time. She kept me laughing so the photos felt natural and fun, and she even pulled out a blow dryer to give my hair that perfect wind-blown look. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. I can’t recommend her enough!"-Heather D.
