Brand Photography That Builds Connection

Through a strategic and collaborative approach, we'll create imagery that goes beyond the surface, capturing the depth and creativity that defines who you are. Our goal isn't just to take beautiful photos; it's to help you build genuine connections with the people who believe in what you do. When your visual story reflects your true values, it creates the kind of trust that turns supporters into community.

the MISSION 

To provide entrepreneurs and lifestyle brands with a trustworthy, strategic brand photography experience and deliver unique imagery that helps them connect with their supporters.

Meet the Photographer

Hi! My name is Marisa and I can't wait to meet you!

I'm naturally curious and I bring sharp focus and intention to my client work. I love learning how your business operates – from your origin story to your future vision and the people you serve. Understanding these details helps me craft informed, well-rounded imagery that clearly and beautifully showcases your brand.

My formal education and corporate background in marketing, branding, and design brings strategic thinking to every project. Whether you're a solopreneur or have an entire marketing team, my goal is to be your creative collaborator and help bring your vision to life, no matter the scale!

the PROCESS

Discovery

Let's chat! This is where we get to know each other a bit. You tell me what you're dreaming up for your photos, and I'll share how I can make that happen.

Contract

Once we're on the same page, I'll send over an agreement that spells out exactly what you're getting, when you'll get it, and what it'll cost. No surprise fees – just straightforward details so we're both clear on expectations.

Consultation

Time to get into the fun details! We'll chat about outfits, locations, props, and all the little things that'll make your photos uniquely YOU. I'll share some pro tips (like which colors photograph best and why you shouldn't fear the camera), and you'll share any Pinterest boards you've been secretly adding to. This is where we turn your "kinda like this" into a solid game plan.

Picture Day

The big day is here! I promise it will be a lot better than your school pictures. Show up, be yourself, and leave the rest to me. I'll guide you through everything, from how to stand to what to do with those hands. Expect lots of laughs, maybe a few wardrobe tweaks, and definitely some moments where you think "Is this awkward?" (It's not, I promise – and the photos will prove it!). Whether we're capturing your products, your team, or your brand story, my job is making this fun while making you look good.

Delivery

The moment you've been waiting for! Within 5-7 business days (no, I won't make you wait for months), you'll get access to your online gallery full of scroll-stopping photos that make you go "Wait, that's ME?!" in the best possible way. Download your favorites, share them everywhere, and watch your engagement soar. Need help deciding which ones to use where? Just ask! I'm happy to help you pick the perfect shots for your website, social media, or that billboard you've been dreaming about (hey, dream big!).
