Marissa ensured I knew what to expect from her program and made me feel supported from day one. Marissa and I shared ideas, discussed challenges I was facing, and brainstormed creative ways to build my business. Since then, I have used that confidence to put myself out there and show my face more on socials. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about Marissa and her Mentorship program.
"As a recent full-time entrepreneur, I found myself needing guidance in many aspects of my business. Asking for help is often intimidating. However, Marissa's warm energy, kindness, and excitement for life immediately drew me to her business."
- Paige B.
"I cannot say enough great things about Marissa. Working with her for brand photography was everything I would have wanted. She's fun and bubbly, but also deeply meticulous about her work. She makes sure not a hair is out of place and ensures all scenes align with your brand. Her studio space is beautiful as well with easy parking and great light. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a brand photographer! The work speaks for itself!"
"She's fun and bubbly, but also deeply meticulous about her work.."

Her personality is warm and inspiring. She makes the entire process smooth and incredibly empowering to stand in front of her camera."
"Marissa is quite literally the best brand photographer I have ever worked with - from the final photos captured, to her meticulous attention to detail and her creative vision..."
