"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. 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!"
"Marisa did a fabulous job with photographing my husband and I with our dog. She knew the best beach to go to for these purposes and was by far the most patient and accommodating photographer I have ever worked with. Our dog can be a little crazy and once we got the hang of the dog beach, she ended up producing some of the most beautiful photos of us. The booking process was simple and convenient and she had the photos back to us within a week, which was amazing! I can't recommend Marisa enough!"
- Heather B.
"She captured exactly what we were looking for!"
"Marisa took my wild idea for a couples shoot and not only completely hopped on board but she also delivered over 50 AMAZING high quality images that capture me and my fiancé absolutely perfectly!"
- Grace H.
"I highly recommend her to anyone!"
"She was so kind and patient with us when we were a little behind schedule (thanks to DC traffic and parking) and she was great with my tired kids early in the morning! She even made my stoic husband, who hates getting photos taken, feel and look comfortable and happy. We are so grateful for her time and attention to detail in editing. We will definitely be hiring Marisa again!"
- Caelyn D.
"Marisa was incredible to work with!"
