Client Testimonials
here’s how it works

finalize booking
Start by selecting a date, time, and package. You’ll submit your $300 deposit, & sign the client agreement. After you have completed these steps, the fun begins!

session styling
The next step is planning your wardrobe. I recommend simple classic styles in neutral tones. This will help us create the dreamy island portraits you see in my gallery. I will share tips more on what to wear.

your images
I like to keep this easy. After your session, you’ll receive an online gallery with the best images. Once you choose your favorites, I’ll edit & retouch your photos before sending over your files.

You should be in the picture too!
As a parent, I get how busy life can be and how quickly our kiddos grow up.
I also know it can feel overwhelming trying to find a time that works for everyone, coordinating everyones outfits, worrying about the weather and whether your kids will smile for the camera. Not to worry though, I will hold your hand the entire way. I provide you with info on how to coordinate your outfits, how to prep for your session, etc.
I make the complete family portrait process simple and fun from the moment you book to the delivery of your final images. My clients love hanging their portraits on the walls throughout their home & they always come back to me whenever they visit Oahu!
So what’s next?
Usually the next questions are “What does it cost?” and “Do you have openings during our time on the island?”

Hi, I’m Marissa.
As a mom myself, I know how important family is. It doesn’t matter if it’s just your immediate family or a multi-generational group; I understand the importance of preserving your family’s most precious moments.
My goal is to make this process easy, relaxed, and fun! I want your session full of piggyback rides, running, jumping, kissing, hugging, tickling, and spinning. I love to capture those sweet in-between moments and unique perspectives so that your photos are beautiful and unique to your family. Photos that you will look at every day and treasure.
There’s nothing like a family session on the beaches of Oahu. I photograph families in the surrounding locations, including Honolulu, Kailua, Kaneohe, Kapolei, Haleiwa, and various hotels such as the Aulani Disney Resort, Four Seasons Ko’olina, Kahala Hotel, and the Sheraton Waikiki.
