Northern Virginia Photographer Capturing Authentic
Lifestyle and Brand Content

I started my career in film and television production, keeping photography on the back burner as more of a side hustle and hobby. But then the pandemic completely changed the Hollywood film industry, I married my college-boyfriend-turned-Naval-Officer husband, and I pivoted to what I think is a much more fun and flexible career. Marisa Glaser Creative was officially born!

MGC is based in Northern Virginia and regularly works throughout the DMV region. I also work with clients all across the country right from my home studio and am available to book for travel. 

I'm here to bring you an amazing, no-stress, professional experience through all of my service offerings!

"I reached out to Marisa with only a few day's notice to help me photograph my husband's deployment homecoming. She was such a sweet addition to our event - very interactive and fun with my girls and enjoyable to talk to and be around. In all honesty, Marisa captured EVERY moment I would have wanted from our reunion. There is nothing that could have made our experience or final product better - Marisa is a talented photographer with a sweet personality and we highly recommend her!"

- Danielle H.

"These pictures are SO special to us and will be treasured forever."

"Marisa was fantastic! I sent her a Pinterest board of what I was wanting for my brand and she turned it into reality. Every pose was strategic and included my brand colors. I HIGHLY suggest using the 30 minute strategy session! I thought I had a good idea of where I wanted my new photos, but she showed me places on my website to include photos that I wouldn’t have thought of! Couldn’t be happier with my photos and with Marisa’s professionalism."

- Kaitlyn B.

"Couldn’t be happier with my photos and with Marisa’s professionalism."


"We take family photos frequently and I am always on the lookout for a photographer who understands who we are and makes us look real. Our photos look amazing, there are plenty to choose from, and she went over and beyond to ensure we were happy. The session was fast, painless and she recommended some hidden spots I wasn't event aware of. We are definitely returning for our next session and can't wait to see her beautiful photos again. Truly a great experience and worth the investment."

- Anett E.

"Marisa has managed to capture our true personalities and we are so grateful for her wonderful talent!"

"She was understanding about my family’s crazy and fluid schedule and was flexible in working to find a date that worked for both of us. She encouraged my kids to be themselves, remained patient with us in our chaos and never got frustrated when I said 'how about this?' Marisa got some great silly, and candid shots as well as traditional posed pictures. She had an amazing turnaround time and quickly provided a variety of edited images that captured our essence as a family."

- Kelley W.

"I truly love what she was able to put in print and will treasure these pictures for sure."

"Our maternity shoot with Marisa was amazing!!! She definitely captured the love between my husband, myself, and baby bump, while also incorporating our furchild! Marisa made it feel very natural and let us direct some poses that we wanted, while also giving us tips for the perfect shots! I wasn't even going to do a maternity shoot to begin with, but once we got our photos delivered, our hearts exploded with joy!"

- Jasmine R.

"She was professional, personal, and laid back, and we loved getting to know her."

"Marisa was absolutely great to work with!! The booking process was extremely easy and Marisa was always available when needed. At the last minute we had to have our dogs with us and she was totally down to add them in some photos for us! She really made the entire process fun! I’m still in shock with how beautiful the photos turned out! Can’t wait to hang them on the wall! 10/10 would book again and refer to anyone!"
