Hi, I’m Marisa!

Photography became more than a career for me when I realized how powerful a single image can be. Flipping through photo albums with loved ones is so special. One photograph can take you back — to the way your baby fit perfectly in your arms, to the chaos and beauty of family life, a funny memory on your wedding day, to a season you didn’t know you’d miss so much.

I approach every session with patience, intention, and a deep appreciation for the stories I’m trusted to tell. My work is centered around connection, emotion, and creating images that feel just as meaningful years from now as they do today.
