A strong brand photo isn’t just a pretty picture — it’s your first impression, your digital handshake, and a powerful way to show people what you’re all about.
Book Your Session
Personality-packed brand imagery for small businesses who want to connect with their audience and show up authentically.

Together, we’ll create visuals that highlight the best part of your business:
you!
Showing up for your business feels harder than it should.
Does this sound familiar?
Your offerings are valuable, but your visuals aren’t showing that.
You’ve been DIY-ing your photos and overthinking what to post.
You feel awkward in front of the camera, so you avoid it altogether.
What you’ll walk away with from a brand session:
Guidance throughout the session so you feel supported and comfortable, AND recommendations for how to utilize your new content after your gallery is delivered.
Confidence + Strategy
Visuals that attract
Professional imagery that clearly communicates who you are, what you do, and why you’re worth investing in — helping build trust at first glance.
Assets that feel aligned, intentional, and consistent, that are ready to use across your website and marketing materials.
A cohesive gallery
Standout Brand Stories
Bold, Bright, & Totally On-Brand
Learn how I blend strategy with vibrant, people-first imagery.
Reach out via my contact form and let’s chat about your business! Once we lock in the details, I’ll send over a contract and invoice to book your session. Then we’ll build a mood board (send me all your Pinterest inspo!), choose locations, and talk through outfits, props, and styling so you feel fully prepared.
Say Hello + Let’s Dream It Up
Step 1
This is the fun part! We’ll meet on location and bring your vision to life through natural posing and curated styling. I’ll keep the vibe fun and relaxed so you can feel confident every step of the way. Expect plenty of variety, laughter, and “OMG I love that” moments.

Step 2
A few weeks later, your edited gallery lands in your inbox — yay! You’ll also get guidance on how to use your new photos across your website, socials, and marketing materials strategically, so you walk away with images and a plan to put them to work.
Gallery Delivery & Strategy
Step 3
With 5+ years in business and over 300 happy clients, I’ve learned how to produce images that feel personal, polished, and packed with personality.
My days are split between photographing incredible small businesses and recharging through pottery classes, kitchen experiments, and loud pop-punk concerts. I’m a big believer that creativity thrives when we let ourselves play — and I bring that energy to every session.
If you’re ready for images that finally reflect the brand you’ve built… you can stop looking, you’ve found your photographer!

Quilted Way
“I met Marisa online through Instagram when I was looking for my first brand shoot as an artist. I had been putting off this step because I was nervous and uncomfortable in front of the camera. But, Marisa worked patiently with me to get a ton of beautiful shots that I can use in all of my marketing."
She’s thoughtful, professional, talented, and kind.

She’s thoughtful, professional, talented, & kind.
“Not only did she make the shoot really fun and comfortable, it’s the first time I really loved professional photos of myself! The photos are warm and colorful, the perfect extension of my overall business and brand.”
Marisa is a miracle worker!
Ashley Dobson
Through Narrative
“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 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.”
Marisa was fantastic!
