Hey! If you're wanting to put a name to a face and get to stalk my life a little, you're definitely on the right page!

 

So stoked you’re here!! I’m super into manifesting and always saying that things will happen vs. wishing they would or throwing around maybes. I’m in love with many things - the beach, traveling, and my family. I married my high school sweetheart. Together we survived a long distance relationship, started out our life together in Hawaii, have been on many amazing adventures, and have recently made Oregon our new home and welcomed a baby boy in 2021.

 
 
 
“Marissa has been so easy to work with during this whole process. She just did our engagement photos and will be shooting our wedding in September. She suggested such a great spot for our shoot. We actually loved it so much that we are using it as our ceremony location! My fiance and I are definitely not used to being in front of the camera but Marissa made us feel comfortable and was good at directing different poses. We cant wait to have her there for our special day!”

I grew up in Southern California (LA babyyy), got my bachelors on the east coast in Massachusetts, then moved to Oahu, Hawaii - so I’ve lived in a few different areas, but currently Oregon is where most of my clients are. I’ll be your go to girl helping you plan your session from what to wear to where to go and get you the best photos possible!

This is David - my best friend.

He’s my best friend and husband. I can’t really tell you who I am without mentioning him. If it were up to me he’d be attached to me 24/7. Our love story started off as a friendship before turning into a long distance relationship and then an intimate elopement on the beaches of Hawaii. We had what I like to call a year long honeymoon of living on Oahu before moving to Oregon. In 2021 we welcomed a baby boy into our little family. We’ve been best friends for almost 10 years now and married for 5. David’s my biggest supporter in my photography business and is always throwing amazing ideas my way. I can’t wait to hear about your love story!
