"I scheduled a maternity session with Marissa for our second child and it was an amazing experience. She was so patient and understanding of my 3yr old and also allowed for me to take breaks which is sooo nice at 37weeks pregnant. I got our photo gallery back in less than a week and the pictures are just so beautiful. She does excellent editing, is very knowledgeable of poses, and has a keen eye for what looks good and will make a great photo. Her studio was so cozy and very professional. She's amazing"
