Meet the Photographer
 
Hi, I'm Marissa
 
A proud Michigander born and raised, married to my college sweetheart, and a mom of two beautiful girls. I'm a big-time foodie and travel enthusiast (Bali and Banff have my heart!). When i'm not chasing little feet or planning our next vacation, you can catch me reading, working out or lost in an editing session.
I can't wait to meet you!
 
 
 
Because life doesn't need to be perfect to be worth photographing. When I became a mom, a new part of me was born. I realized how much goes into being a parent and how easy it is to forget how utterly beautiful the mundane parts of life can be. I want to capture all the moments that show you how beautiful you are, how amazing this life is, even when your hands are full. One day when you're older you'll reach for certain photos to bring you back to this time... and to be the one who photographed those special moments? Feeds my soul!
