ABOUT me

Behind the Lens

Finding endless joy in helping entrepreneurs share their brand’s story, build meaningful connections, document their journey, and attract their dream clients.

about me

I'm marissa

I’m a Midwest brand photographer on a mission to fill my days with more joy—and that’s where you come in!

Working with creative entrepreneurs fills my cup to the brim. Each and every one has a unique story and a vision for making the world a better place. How lucky am I to get to be a part of that journey?!

When we hop on a call and I can feel your excitement through the screen, that’s the kind of energy that makes me jump out of bed in the morning, beyond grateful that I get to do this for a living!

Your journey, your success, and celebrating everything beyond our photoshoot truly matter to me.

I love nothing more than spending my days slowly, carefully, with intention.  Read on for a little more about me.

Lover of slow living, genuine connection, and the pursuit of all things cozy. 

my favorite things:

01

places i've been

The southern coast of France and Cinque Terre in Italy. A dream vacation, but there are so many places in the U.S. that hold a special place in my heart.

02

guilty pleasure

Finding the perfect cookie recipe. Curling up with a good book on a rainy day. Watching old Disney channel reruns.

03

pastTime

Sewing is by far a new and fast favorite.

04

meal

Pizza or pasta every single time (no wonder I loved Italy so much.)

05

human

Do I have to pick just one? I love my people. But, this guy is at the top of the list.

06

part of my job

Making genuine connections that last far longer than shoot day. My clients are some of my favorite people.

about you

For the dreamers, creators, storytellers, designers, trend-setters, foodies, history-makers…

You are exactly where you're meant to be.

Our client's are warm, kind, and creative. Forging their path in this world and making their dreams a reality. They may be homebodies, the life of the party, or (like me) somewhere in between. But, they are passionate, excited, and ready to take on the world.

Does this sound like you? Inquire with us.
