Featured Brand Session:

Everything was photographed with a soft, clean, timeless look that matches her brand’s aesthetic.

The Session Included:

Flat lays of her cameras, lenses, business cards, editing system, and all of the wraps, swaddles, and props she uses for newborn sessions.

Tools of the Trade

Moments of her adjusting setups, styling details, and interacting on set — plus a few clips of me showing her shots straight from my camera, which got her genuinely excited.

Behind the Scenes

Birthday milestone cake smashes! We staged a celebratory cake smash featuring Courtney herself, complete with confetti and the custom wooden spoons she gifts to clients. Of course I had to create some gifs to add some motion to the confetti tosses!

"I had a branding session with Marisa and I had such a fun time! As a photographer myself, I was honestly skeptical about letting go and allowing someone else to take my photos. I had a very clear vision of what I wanted, and I knew I needed to hire someone who truly specialized in branding rather than do the typical “headshot swap” photographers usually offer.

Hiring Marisa was the best decision. Knowing she specializes in branding immediately gave me confidence because these were not just headshots. I wanted to document my new studio and show my clients what I built for them.

Marisa made everything so easy and so much fun. We laughed and talked the whole time, and it was amazing connecting with another photographer who understands the process. Not only were the vibes perfect, but the photos were better than I could have imagined. She captured every detail, was incredibly thorough, and truly listened to what I wanted to document.

Having these images has helped me advertise my business in ways I never could have done on my own."
