Hi, I'm Marissa!
iced coffee sipping, to-do list loving, Voice Memo Queen
I help entrepreneurs realign their brand content with their personality, their business, and their actual goals.
I’ve been photographing brands exclusively for 5+ years and get to meet the coolest people because of it.
Just picture it:
no more boring stock photos
No more headshots from 2019
No more last-minute content panic
no more “this looks kinda like me?” AI photos
From quick headshot refreshes to full-day brand shoot experiences, I’m the girl working to make your brand shoot the most fun and productive thing you’ll do in your business.

"I was able to see myself in a way I have never been able to in my life."
"I had a vision in my heart of how I wanted to position myself in a new way to the world and Marissa brought that vision to life. I was able to see myself in a way I never had before. She intuitively captured the essence of my message so the women I serve in their second act of life could feel my authenticity, wisdom, fun, and confidence."

"Working with Marissa Elisa Photography was honestly a life-changing experience for me and my business.."
As someone building a brand rooted in experiences, storytelling, and connection, I needed more than “pretty photos.” I needed someone who could truly SEE the vision behind what I’m creating, and Marissa did exactly that.
Her work elevated my brand in ways I can’t fully put into words. The content she created has helped me show up more confidently, tell my story more clearly, and present my business in a way that finally feels aligned with the vision in my head. I highly recommend making this a priority as an investment for your business."

"Every time I’ve had photos taken before, I’d end up focusing on what I didn’t like—the wrinkles, the lines, all the ways I felt I looked older than I actually feel inside. Because inside, I feel energized, excited, and full of life."
Marissa somehow captured that. When I look at these photos, I keep thinking, “Wait… is that really me?” Like, am I actually that radiant? Is that how people see me? And for the first time, I can really say—I see myself with love. I’m not trying to hide anything, but these photos gave me a whole new perspective. I feel this new sparkle, and I keep going back to look at them again and again just to take it in. She didn’t just take photos—she captured who I am on the inside and brought it out. Seriously…she’s kind of magical. Marissa’s photos are honestly so much more than just branding pictures—they’re an experience.”

"I am so excited to say that before investing in a personal brand photoshoot with Marissa I had nowhere to start from and WOW, what a great decision this was!"
Marissa came with her beautiful smile, bubbly personality and her amazing talent to catch my new venue Spa treatment facility at its best! We had a blast and the photos are outstanding.
My website is top notch with the new photos, and I am starting to create my email marketing and other things for my business that would not be soo rich and inviting if Marissa had not been an amazing photographer for our brand shoot! I already have a full calendar this month and booking out into the next month!”
