It’s time to cherish the present and hold onto the magic of now.
In the quiet moments when life slows down, there is a beauty that often goes unnoticed.
The way your child smiles with pure joy, the gentle hug they give you out of nowhere, the shared giggles during a lazy afternoon — these everyday moments mean the most. Capturing these tiny magical moments so you can revisit them and never forget the way your family looked in those perfectly imperfect moments, is a priceless investment that a future you will be so grateful for.
Montana / Washington photographer specialising in Wedding, Elopement and family photography.
Let them be wild, funny, chaotic, and messy.
Forcing kids into poses and fake smiles isn’t my thing. I love activities you can do together, something you both enjoy, whether it’s baking, walking, playing in the garden, or picking flowers. These activities mean the kids are having a blast and not forced to smile at a camera or bored out of their minds. Let them get messy, laugh, shout, scream, and dance. You wouldn’t want a picture of them pretending to be someone they're not but rather cherish these little moments that add to who they will become. Your session with me is no pressure and is all about allowing your kids to simply be kids.

We felt so comfortable during both our engagement shoot and wedding with her. She will match you and your partners energy perfectly and will make the whole process seamless. She is someone who goes above and beyond for you to make sure you get everything you want out of your photos and we couldn’t have chose a better person to capture the love and craziness on our wedding day.
We adore Marisa and could not recommend her enough for your big day!
KIND WORDS

I had an engagement session done by Marisa, and Oh man incredible! My fiancé and I are very shy when it comes to being in front of the camera. Marisa made us feel comfortable, and confident while taking our photos. She creates absolute magic, you can tell her passion is her career. Your photos won’t be cookie cutter, they are very artistic and candid!
she's worth it all and more!

Starting at $450 for portraits
Picture this, you're 16, it's summertime, driving through the streets with your forever friends, giggling and waving your hand out the window with the summer breeze kissing your skin. Feeling the emotion, nostalgia, and freedom of this moment. That's what super 8 feels like to me. It's raw, truly candid, and invokes a feeling that can't be replicated with digital. It's imperfect, nostalgic, and warm--like a hug from your mom.

The Process
Every shoot is different. For portrait sessions, you will receive a minimum of 75 images. For elopements and weddings, you will receive a minimum of 400.
For portraits, 2-3 weeks. For weddings and elopements, 4-6 weeks.
It’s important to me that we are a good fit, so before either of us says, “Yes, let’s do it,” we connect via Facetime or a phone call. After getting to know one another, we can mutually decide to move forward and celebrate. There will never be any pressure or expectations to book, as I truly believe everyone deserves to share their story with the right person. If we decide it’s the right fit, I will send a proposal outlining the payment schedule and including a contract, and we are good!!
I love to travel. A travel fee will incur for anything outside of Clark County.
You will receive access to an online gallery that never expires. You will have shared printing rights and access to all edited JPG images virtually. I recommend downloading and saving the entire gallery, but you will also always have your photos stored in multiple locations.
I am emotionally invested in every single person I photograph. As a lifelong or “legacy” family photographer, my commitment to my clients extends beyond a single session.
I am dedicated to capturing the full spectrum of their life’s most meaningful moments. My goal is to build long and incredible relationships with my clients (that I truly feel blessed to do), ensuring that I can be present to capture the evolving story of their lives. I strive to be more than just another Washington family photographer; I aim to be a trusted friend that you can turn to in celebrating and preserving the unique journey of each person I am honored to work with.
