Hey, I’m Marissa, And I can’t Wait to help Capture your Story

With 14 years of experience photographing newborns and children, I bring a blend of professional skill and real-life parenting know-how to every session. As a mom of four boys—including a bonus kid and a neuro-spicy child—I’m navigating everything from toddler tantrums to teenage talks. My personal experience with neurodivergence and blended families allows me to create a safe, welcoming environment for every child and parent. I’m passionate about capturing genuine moments and making photo sessions as stress-free and joyful as possible for all families of all backgrounds. 

I’m Passionate

about capturing…

My Creative STyle

My photography style is all about capturing real moments—warm, candid, and with a cozy, film-like vibe. I love seeing moments unfold themselves, and intervening with direction or prompts when needed.

let’s make creative magic

Fun Facts about Me

1. I’m a Libra girlie. Natural Peacemaker, social butterfly, a creative soul, and easy going vibe always.

2. A venti iced shaken espresso or an Alani + a Target run are my go tos when I need a dopamine boost.

3. I am in fact one of those Disney Adults. There’s just something so special about seeing the magic through my kids’ eyes—whether we’re in the theme parks or snuggled up for a Disney movie night at home. It’s a little bit of nostalgia, a lot of joy, and the perfect reminder to embrace the magic in everyday moments.

  • From belly to baby, in the blink of an eye.

  • This baby chonk turns ✨4✨ today! This past week, I dug into the archives to re-edit some greenhouse photos for spring minis, and I stumbled upon the session we did there 🥹 Those squishy baby thighs, the chubby little feet, all those curls, and the sweet moments of nursing—gone in the blink of an eye. And now, Rylan is so much taller than me!! Time is such a thief, but what a gift to our future selves to be able to freeze it through photos 😭 Happy birthday, to my sweet and spicy boy!
  • Sad Instagram only gives me 10 slides 🥹 last chance to grab a glitter mini session for this weekend! ✨ Also can you believe Fallon (the youngest) was not having photos? Her mom had to sit right in front of her the whole time or hold her and you’d never even know 😍😍😍 #nashvilletn #nashville #nashvillebabyphotographer
  • Pregnancy feels like a blur—here one moment and gone the next. It’s a whirlwind of discomfort, making it hard to soak it all in. You find yourself wishing time away, just waiting for that sweet baby in your arms. Most women, myself included, don’t always feel their best during pregnancy. I never had a professional photographer capture any of my pregnancies—just my husband—and I SO DEEPLY regret it now. The way a woman’s body grows and nurtures life is truly incredible, and it deserves to be documented. Not just with a few quick snapshots, but with intentional, beautiful images that capture this fleeting season. I may just have to convince my husband we need one more baby so I can finally have a real maternity shoot! 😜 So even if you don’t feel your best (or think you don’t), trust me—you’ll want to remember your baby belly. The best time for maternity photos is between 30-34 weeks, when the bump is bumpin’ but before too much swelling or discomfort kicks in. Maternity photography is one of my absolute favorites, and I can’t wait to capture more glowing mamas this year! ✨ Nashville Maternity Photographer
  • Cooper! We got the best of both worlds with some sleepy and super alert photos! Love capturing all the wild expressions at this age. And those dimples?! 😩
